Description
The property consists of a plot of 1 acre with planning permission for the conversion of agricultural barn to form 1 dwelling, erection of new triple cart-lodge, formation of new vehicular access/driveway and change of use of land to residential garden (following demolition of outbuildings)
Planning permission has been granted under reference DC/22/05954 for the conversion of the barn to provide a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom house of 4090 sq. ft. plus the triple cart-lodge. The layout has been designed to be as flexible as possible with the provision of a superb open plan kitchen/dining/living space plus a spacious ground floor bedroom suite for future proofing the space. The configuration could easily be adapted to suit individual requirements.
The vendors made a start by creating the driveway and a Lawful Certificate for commencement of the planning permission has been granted under reference DC/25/00940.
