Description

Situated in a peaceful rural setting, Harewood Barns offers a great opportunity to buy and develop a fully permitted barn conversion project into a large dwelling with 4 ensuite bedrooms set within a plot of around 3.04 acres. The site currently offers an attractive farmstead range of traditional red brick buildings positioned around a crew yard. The proposed plans would create a stunning two storey single dwelling with gardens and paddock, with southerly views over farmland, providing about 334 sqm (3595 sqft) of internal accommodation. There would also be an open fronted car barn, approx. 33 sqm (355 sqft).

From the A1133, take the signed exit towards Spalford. Follow Sand Lane for approximately 600 metres and then bear right towards North Scarle. Follow Rabbithill Lane for approximately 200 metres, at which point the barns are on the left hand side of the road, identified by the sale board.

Harewood Barns is situated on the southern edge of the rural hamlet of Spalford which is about 10 miles west of the Cathedral City of Lincoln, and 10.5 miles north of Newark, and about 5 miles north of the village of Collingham.

Spalford is located to the east of the B1133 which connects to the A57 with good connections to Lincoln, the A1 at Markham Moor and the A46 and on to the A1 at Newark.

Newark North Gate Station provides a direct high speed rail service to London Kings Cross in circa 75 minutes.

The surrounding area is predominantly open countryside. Collingham which is a few minutes away, has a vibrant and growing community. It offers a wide range of amenities including shops, PO, GP surgery, vet, and primary school, along with a variety of sports clubs and pubs. There is also the cosmopolitan
Gusto House offering flexible working space, meeting rooms, studio, gallery, cafe, and deli. Collingham also has its own railway station.

There are no services connected to the barns and interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries about availability and cost.

Viewing of the barns is to be accompanied and is by appointment only. Please contact the Seller's Agents, to arrange an appointment.

Viewing is at your own risk and neither the Seller's Agent nor the Seller take any responsibility for any injury, losses or damages incurred during inspection.

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
The proposed plans would create a stunning two storey single dwelling with gardens and paddock, with southerly views over farmland, providing about 334 sqm (3595 sqft) of internal accommodation. There would also be an open fronted car barn, approx. 33 sqm (355 sqft). The architect's plans have been designed with the principal rooms around a central open courtyard. The large open plan living room is set in the original main barn; this then leads into the hall and kitchen/dining room, and then onto the master bedroom en-suite and to bedroom four en-suite. There are two further en-suite
bedrooms on the first floor of the main barn.

ACCESS
Access to the barns will be along a new driveway from the existing gate on Rabbithill Lane.

PLANNING PERMISSION
Full planning consent was granted on 5th January 2026 for the restoration and conversion of existing barns to a single dwelling on a site of around 0.98 acres.
The permission was granted under planning reference 25/00992/ FUL with Newark and Sherwood District Council, and key documents are available to view in the data room. The consent states, it is the Council's view that community infrastructure levy is not payable on the development as there would be no increase in gross internal floor area.

BIODIVERSITY NET GAIN
To fulfil the Biodiversity Net Gain requirement of the development the new owner will create and maintain a new environmental area in accordance with the post development habitat planting on the eastern side of the plot. The Buyer will be obliged to fulfil the obligations of the unilateral undertaking related to the Biodiversity Net Gain requirements, dated 23rd December 2025. The ecological appraisal dated 30th September 2025 is referred to within this agreement. Both documents can be viewed in the data room.

Agents Note
The seller wishes to impose some conditions on the sale to minimise the impact on the retained property. If these are of concern to you,
do please discuss this with the selling agent.

1. The Seller will not be under any obligation to clear items from the site.
2. The Heras fencing is excluded from the sale and will be removed by the Seller after completion unless the buyer wishes to purchase it separately for £1,500
3. The use of the property to be solely as a single dwelling or two dwellings out of the existing range of barns i.e semi-detached property's.
4. No intensive farming

HEALTH AND SAFETY
The buildings are in a poor state of repair and viewers should keep a safe distance from them outside the Heras fence line; furthermore, the site is part of a working farm. Therefore, viewers should be aware of possible hazards and their associated risks and be careful and particularly vigilant whilst on the holding. An Asbestos Management plan is available in the data room, it records areas of asbestos cement which it describes as very low risk.
