Description

** PLEASE NOTE THIS IS JUST FOR THE PLOT - IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BUILD**

A quite exceptional opportunity to create a fantastic individual family residence in the heart of greenbelt countryside.

New Barn Rebuild plot approx 0.33 acreThe Dutch Barn Back Lane Meriden CV7 7LDFull planning approval has been granted ( Planning Portal ref. PL/2025/02025/PPFL) to replace an existing Dutch barn with new build five-bedroom property extending to approx 2,500 sq ft. Nestled within boundaries of mature hedgerow, the site extends to approximately one third of-an-acre of freehold land.
The orientation and position of the barn provides for excellent access and a south-facing aspect towards open countryside. Access is via an independent gateway off Back Lane – a little over one-third of a mile from Four Oaks crossing on the Berkswell Road. From this point both Berkswell and Meriden villages are just a mile away in each direction.
