Description
Exciting development opportunity to create three new homes within an existing steel portal-framed barn, with planning permission already granted. An ideal opportunity for builders and developers.
Westridge Barn Conversion occupies an attractive rural position on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Longhorsley, near Morpeth, enjoying a peaceful countryside setting.
The site is set back from the main road and approached via a shared driveway, creating a private and secluded environment while remaining conveniently positioned for the village and its amenities, as well as the wider Northumberland area.
The existing planning permission, Reference 21/01561/FUL, provides an excellent opportunity to convert the substantial portal-framed barn into three spacious and well-proportioned residential units. The approved scheme offers particularly generous accommodation within the two end units, providing excellent potential to create highly desirable countryside homes.
The surrounding rural landscape adds considerably to the appeal of the scheme, offering attractive views and a tranquil setting that is likely to prove popular with prospective purchasers. The combination of an established planning consent, substantial existing structure and desirable Northumberland location makes Westridge Barn Conversion an appealing small-scale residential development opportunity.
Set in an attractive rural location on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Longhorsley, this development occupies a peaceful and private position surrounded by the beautiful open countryside of Northumberland. Despite its tranquil rural setting, the site is conveniently located close to the village centre, which offers a useful range of local amenities including a village shop, public house, first school and village hall.
Longhorsley is situated approximately 7 miles north-west of Morpeth and 14 miles south of Alnwick, with excellent access to the wider Northumberland area via the A697. The historic market town of Morpeth provides an extensive range of shopping, leisure and dining facilities, together with direct rail services to Newcastle and Edinburgh.
The surrounding countryside offers an abundance of opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, while many of Northumberland’s most renowned attractions and areas of outstanding natural beauty are within easy reach. The location therefore combines the tranquillity and character of rural living with excellent accessibility and a well-connected position within the county.
