Description
An exceptional development opportunity presenting the chance to transform a substantial detached barn into two impressive, high-specification five-bedroom homes, with planning permission already granted for conversion. Set within the attractive North Norfolk countryside, Old Barn Farm offers considerable potential for developers, builders or private purchasers seeking an exciting project in a highly desirable rural location.
The existing barn is approached via a gated gravel driveway, creating a private and appealing entrance to the site. The approved scheme provides for the conversion and subdivision of the building into two substantial individual residences, each designed to offer five bedrooms and the potential for spacious, contemporary accommodation finished to a high specification.
A particular highlight of the proposed development is the setting, with both properties benefiting from their own driveways and gardens to the rear, backing directly onto open fields. The frontage enjoys panoramic countryside views, providing an attractive outlook and a wonderful sense of space that will complement the character of the rural surroundings.
With the opportunity to combine the charm and character of a traditional agricultural building with the comfort, scale and finish of a modern family home, this is a compelling proposition for those looking to create distinctive properties in the North Norfolk countryside. The approved plans provide a valuable starting point for the project, with the potential to deliver two substantial homes suited to the premium end of the local market, subject to the precise specification and execution of the scheme.
Situated in the peaceful village of Wighton, the property enjoys a rural setting within easy reach of the North Norfolk coast, the historic market town of Wells-next-the-Sea and the surrounding villages. The combination of an established planning consent, generous proposed accommodation, individual outdoor spaces and far-reaching countryside views makes Old Barn Farm an opportunity worthy of serious consideration.
Interested parties are advised to familiarise themselves with the approved planning permission, associated drawings and any relevant conditions, and to undertake their own enquiries regarding the scope of the consent, implementation requirements, building regulations, services and development costs before proceeding
