Description
THE ARCHES BARN & WHEEL HOUSE
A rare opportunity to create two distinctive homes within a historic farm setting.
The Arches Barn is an exceptional period farm building ripe for renovation – located within the rural setting of Marston Grange.
Complete with planning permission to convert to an impressive six-bedroom property, the rustic brick and vaulted roof beams are perfectly intact, adding character and charm for the foundations of a forever home.
The namesake external arches present a unique design feature for the ground floor windows in the proposed lounge, and the grain store basement offers an opportunity to add a cellar.
Further plans have been scoped for the future purchaser to create a social open plan living and dining kitchen space within their ideal home, cloak room/W.C, utility room, three bathrooms plus internal access to a garage. Off-street parking and a private garden will complete the plot.
The Wheel House at Marston Grange is an impressive barn conversion complete with planning permission to convert to a four-bedroom dwelling with off-street parking and a garage.
The current building features high vaulted ceilings and a rare round turreted horse mill that would be incorporated into the design for a unique open plan living kitchen and dining space.
Two further large reception rooms plus practical spaces including a utility and W.C would complete the ground floor, while the first floor would contain four bedrooms with two en-suites, plus a family bathroom. There are external plans for both a front and rear garden.
