DescriptionRedbrick barn

The property forms a courtyard shape layout comprising a part two storey brick built barn on the western wing and a single storey barn forming the remainder of the building.

Planning permission was granted on 21/05/1991 for the change of use from redundant farm building to a single dwelling, subject to a schedule of condition. The property has been partly redeveloped, but we understand that building works have not been completed. The refurbished property would provide a four bedroom residential dwelling of 179.69 sq m (1,934 sq ft).

Clubhouse including office and a one-bedroom flat

The property comprises a detached building of brick construction formerly the golf course clubhouse, with ancillary office and residential accommodation.

Planning permission has been granted for change of use and conversion to a private residential five bedroom dwelling of approximately 470.00 sq m (5,059 sq ft).
