Description

Exceptional Grade II Listed barn on the edge of Burton in Lonsdale, with consent to create a 5,575 sq. ft. home, enjoying views of Ingleborough and Barbon Fells. Work begun, ready for completion to personal design. Set in 0.65 acres with mains services and B4RN broadband; Additional land available by separate negotiation.

Nestled on the fringe of Burton in Lonsdale, this exceptional Grade II Listed stone barn and adjoining buildings offer an extraordinary opportunity to create a spectacular residence. With an edge-of-village setting, the plot commands uninterrupted views of Ingleborough and Barbon Fells, offering a unique opportunity for rural life.

With planning granted on 3rd October 2024, the Barn offers consent for a full transformation into a 5,575ft2 property. The approved layout includes reception hallway, a spacious open plan living / dining / kitchen, sitting room, cloakroom, utility room, office, gym, principal suite with ensuite facilities and dressing room. There are three further double bedrooms, each with an ensuite, all set around a galleried-style landing. The accommodation is completed with a generous games room.

Work has already commenced, including extensive re-pointing, clearing of the interior and partial installation of joists, thereby allowing the planning consent to remain extant. Therefore the new owner will be able to resume construction and complete the scheme to their own design, taste and specifications. The plans allow for some or all of the space to be utilised by a purchaser.

The property itself occupies a plot extending to 0.64 acres, or thereabouts, and is accessed directly off the A687. There is generous space for parking, and the grounds offer excellent landscaping potential.

For convenience, the site has mains electricity, mains water and B4RN broadband, together with mains gas accessible locally.

Whilst occupying a generous plot, for those looking for additional land up to approximately 10 acres, with the benefit of roadside access, is available by separate negotiation.

The location of this superb opportunity sits within close proximity of the market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, which offers charming independent shops, eateries and amenities. The historic city of Lancaster is approximately 15 miles away, and adds further services and amenities, as well as access to the Lancaster University, hospitals and other employment opportunities. The M6 motorway is accessed via Junction 36, providing access north and south.
