Description

With planning permission already in place for conversion into a sprawling home of over 4,200 sq. ft., this property is steeped in character and historical charm. Once utilized as an event venue, it boasts striking vaulted ceilings and an array of authentic architectural features that add to its appeal. The approved plans offer a harmonious blend of traditional aesthetics and modern conveniences, centered around an expansive open plan kitchen and living area that promises to be bright and inviting.

Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £1,000,000, this 4,261 sq. ft. Grade II listed barn is priced at about £235 per sq. ft., well below the local average of £600. That makes the asking price a standout acquisition opportunity, though the conversion scope still needs careful assessment. The listing states that planning permission has been granted for residential conversion; verify the permission, conditions, consents and remaining work before proceeding.
The exposed historic timbers, vaulted ceilings and large stone-floored spaces offer a distinctive canvas for shaping a substantial home, with maintained grounds adding to the appeal. The images show a venue rather than a completed residence, so this is a heavy conversion project, not a cosmetic refresh; the visible roofs appear broadly intact, but their close condition cannot be assessed.
Key opportunities
- Acquire over 4,200 sq. ft. at a markedly low asking price per square foot relative to the local average.
- Turn the vaulted, timber-framed venue spaces and stone floors into a distinctive home, with scope to shape the internal layout and specification subject to planning.
- Make use of the maintained lawn, gravel courtyard, established planting and seating as a ready-made setting for the conversion.
Key risks
- The venue-style interiors are not a completed residence: plan for a heavy conversion programme and a substantial interior build-out rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The remaining conversion scope and cost are unclear; verify the stated planning permission, its conditions, required consents and what work remains.
