Hereford, Herefordshire

A unique opportunity to purchase an exclusive part completed development site with planning permission for 8 contemporary yet characterful barn conversions, in the beautiful countryside.

Description
An outstanding opportunity to acquire a residential development scheme of Grade II listed agricultural barns with full planning permission and Listed Building Consent for conversion into eight luxury homes. The scheme successfully combines the character and history of traditional farm buildings with high-quality contemporary design.

The development is already well progressed, with significant conversion works undertaken across the barns.

The approved designs have been thoughtfully prepared to showcase the unique architectural features of the historic buildings, including vaulted spaces, exposed timbers and original structural elements, whilst incorporating modern open-plan layouts suited to contemporary living.
The scheme will create a range of attractive single and two-storey dwellings, providing a balanced mix of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes designed to appeal to a broad section of the market.

Each residence benefits from its own private garden with exceptional countryside views.
The scheme is accessed from quiet country lanes across a private farm track.

The scheme offers a rare chance to acquire and complete a distinctive collection of eight high-quality countryside homes within an attractive historic farmstead setting.

A website has been created to showcase the scheme and can be found at: (please see details in brochure)

Planning
The development falls within Herefordshire Local Planning Authority.

Planning permission for the development has been secured through a series of approvals, including the principal consents granted on 23 February 2022 under application references P202927/F and P202928/L. These approvals authorised the subdivision and conversion of the existing agricultural buildings to provide a total of eight residential dwellings, together with associated internal and external works and the enlargement of garden curtilages.

Further approvals obtained during 2024 approved variations of conditions and reserved matters submissions, reflecting the ongoing progression of the development with the continued support of the Local Planning Authority.

Most recently, application references P260839/F and P260842/L were approved on 21 May 2026, granting planning permission and listed building consent respectively. These consents regularise works undertaken on site and amend earlier permissions to align with the development in its current form.

Situation
Lower Monkton Barns occupy an attractive rural position in south Herefordshire, nestled within rolling countryside. Located near the highly regarded village of St Weonards, the development benefits from a combination of peaceful rural living and convenient access to everyday services.

St Weonards provides a range of local amenities including a primary school, village hall, church and popular public house, whilst the market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth offer a wider selection of shopping, leisure and professional services. The cathedral city of Hereford lies approximately 10 miles to the north-east and provides extensive retail, educational and recreational facilities.

The property is well connected despite its rural setting, with access via a network of quiet country lanes linking to the A466 and A49. These routes provide convenient connections to the M50 and wider motorway network, allowing straightforward travel to the Midlands, South Wales and the South West.

Combining a picturesque countryside environment with excellent accessibility, Lower Monkton Barns offers an appealing location for those seeking a high-quality rural lifestyle within reach of centres of employment and amenities.
