Description

An Exciting Opportunity to Purchase a Detached Barn with Permitted Development to Create a Substantial Barn Conversion within a 2.00 Acre Plot.


The property offers a unique opportunity to purchase the former agricultural building with permitted development to convert it into a sustainable 3 bedroom bungalow.


The former agricultural building is set in a 2.00 acre plot and offers off road parking. The prepared plans currently provide an open plan living and dining area, kitchen, three bedrooms including the master with an ensuite and a bathroom. However, these plans could be altered to suit the needs of the owner.


Externally, the property is complemented by a grass paddock and off road parking, providing the purchaser flexibility to landscape the exterior to create a social garden.

A copy of the Decision Notice is attached to these particulars or can be emailed upon request. The purchaser(s) should satisfy themselves that they can comply with the conditions set out in the Approval Notice.
