This property presents a substantial development opportunity in the picturesque village of Carlby, strategically positioned on the outskirts with impressive rural views. The site features a steel-framed Dutch barn and comes with two approved planning permissions, offering flexibility for different residential projects.
The first option allows for the conversion of the existing agricultural building into a singular residential dwelling under Class Q Planning (Ref S24/1282). The second option consists of demolishing the current structure and replacing it with a modern single-storey home (Ref S23/2362 and APP/E2530/W/24/3350158). Both proposals have been thoughtfully designed by an architect to leverage the unique characteristics of the location and provide comfortable living spaces.
The proposed plans for both developments encompass well-designed layouts totaling approximately 3,000 sq ft. The barn conversion is centered around an inviting hallway that leads to various living quarters and includes features such as a principal suite with an ensuite bathroom, three additional bedrooms, and a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with bi-folding doors that seamlessly connect to outdoor spaces. In contrast, the single-storey design incorporates traditional elements like stone walls and timber cladding while also embracing energy-efficient technologies like solar panels.
Located within South Kesteven District, Carlby benefits from a rich community spirit highlighted by local amenities including a village hall, playing fields, tennis court, and bowls club. Its rural environment provides tranquility while remaining conveniently close to nearby market towns such as Stamford, Bourne, and Market Deeping—each just a short drive away—offering diverse shopping and dining options.
Education options in the area are robust, with Ryhall Primary School nearby and secondary schools available in Stamford and Bourne. For families seeking independent education opportunities, institutions like Witham Hall Preparatory School are easily accessible.
For commuters, both Peterborough and Grantham railway stations are within sixteen to twenty miles of the property, providing regular services to London Kings Cross in approximately 47 minutes. Additionally, major road links along the A1 ensure accessibility to surrounding regions.
In summary, this property not only offers potential for bespoke residential development but also positions itself in an appealing location with strong community ties and access to essential services.
