Monroe is proud to present Miry Carr Farm, an exceptional development opportunity in one of North Leeds' most desirable rural locations. Set within the picturesque village of Thorner, this unique site offers purchasers the chance to deliver an outstanding residential scheme in a highly sought-after countryside setting, where demand for premium homes continues to grow.
The property benefits from full Class Q approval for the conversion of the existing agricultural buildings into two executive homes, providing a combined internal accommodation of approximately 6,417 sq ft. The approved scheme creates two substantial family residences, carefully designed to complement their rural surroundings while offering generous, contemporary living spaces suited to modern lifestyles.
The proposed development has been thoughtfully planned and benefits from a comprehensive architectural design by the award-winning Abigail Yeates Architects. Their vision has established a carefully considered design approach that responds sensitively to the character of the existing buildings, the surrounding landscape and the wider planning context. As a result, purchasers inherit a scheme with an exceptional architectural foundation, avoiding the need to begin the design process from scratch while retaining the quality and integrity of an award-winning concept.
Occupying an enviable position surrounded by open countryside, Miry Carr Farm enjoys an exceptional balance of rural tranquillity and accessibility. The existing farmstead presents an exciting opportunity for developers, investors or private individuals seeking to create two bespoke homes in one of the region's most desirable village settings.
The site enjoys attractive views across the surrounding Yorkshire countryside, offering a peaceful setting that is increasingly difficult to find within such easy reach of Leeds. Mature landscaping, open farmland and the character of the existing buildings combine to create a development opportunity with genuine individuality and long-term appeal.
With continued demand for high-quality village homes and a limited supply of comparable opportunities, Miry Carr Farm represents an increasingly rare chance to acquire a consented development site in a premium North Leeds location. Whether as a development project or the creation of two exceptional private residences, the property offers considerable potential in an established and highly regarded village community.
