Description
An incredible and rare opportunity to acquire a sound former agricultural barn situated approximately 100m from a private, secluded beach. Offering lovely uninterrupted sea views, this property comes with a history of Planning Permission for a residential unit - now lapsed. The Seller is uniquely offering to assist the Buyer with a new Class Q Permitted Development application. Under the Class Q procedure there is no requirement for expensive and time-consuming bat surveys, structural or archaeological surveys making the planning procedure much simpler.
This substantial former agricultural building offers a blank canvas in one of the most sought after coastal settings available. The barn is constructed from traditional stone with a characterful part slate and part profile tin roof (renewed approximately 12 years ago).
Outside the barn has space for a small garden area to the front, perfect for taking in the sea views, alongside dedicated space for parking two to three vehicles.
The traditional barn offers a generous internal footprint, providing ample space for a striking bespoke layout whether designed a grand single residence or split into two independent units. The interior height of the barn lends itself well to a small mezzanine area.
The site is highly accessible from a development point of view with open working areas, vital infrastructure already in place and easy access from the A5087 Coast Road.
The true crown jewel of this property is its position. Located just a short stroll, approximately 100 metres from a quiet private beach, the panoramic marine vistas provide an extraordinary backdrop for a premium residential dwelling or lucrative holiday let investment.
Planning and Development Note:
While the previous Planning Permission for a residential unit has lapsed, the building’s history establishes a strong precedent for development. The property meets the core criteria for a Class Q Permitted Development application. To provide complete peace of mind, the Seller will actively assist the successful Buyer with the submission and navigation of the Class Q application procedure.
