Description

This property presents a unique opportunity for transformation, featuring a traditional stone barn that has secured Class Q Prior Approval for conversion into a residential dwelling. The site includes two additional agricultural buildings, which can serve various purposes such as storage or workshops, alongside approximately 10.90 acres of grazing land. Set within a compact yard, the barn stands as an appealing central structure, while the surrounding land is ring-fenced and enriched with established trees and woodland edges that enhance privacy and the overall aesthetic.The location offers scenic views over picturesque countryside while remaining conveniently positioned between Rochdale and Heywood, just a few miles from local amenities and transport links. Notably, this property allows for flexible development options due to its planning approval for residential conversion, making it a compelling investment for those looking to create a bespoke home in a serene rural setting. Potential exists for further use of the agricultural buildings, subject to additional planning permissions. Interested parties should investigate the availability of necessary services to support their intended use.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

42out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial rural conversion project rather than a ready-made home: the principal stone barn is still an agricultural shell, with weathered masonry, and the photos do not establish its internal or structural condition. Its Class Q Prior Approval for conversion to a single dwelling gives the project a clear starting point, while the roughly 10.90 acres, open countryside setting and two additional agricultural buildings make it distinctive. The overall score is 42/100, grade E: the conversion opportunity and location have merit, but the available information is too limited to establish the project’s value or renovation economics.

At £350,000, the asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. Services and the condition of the interior and structure also need investigation; the photos do not show definite major structural failure.

Key opportunities

  • Shape the approved single-dwelling conversion around the barn’s traditional stone character, creating a rural home from the agricultural shell.
  • Make use of the approximately 10.90 acres of grazing land and the rural setting, with established trees and woodland edge adding privacy and amenity.
  • Explore practical storage, workshop or agricultural uses for the two additional buildings; any alternative use would be subject to planning.

Key risks

  • The barn is an agricultural shell with no completed residential accommodation shown; plan for a heavy, whole-building conversion programme rather than a cosmetic refresh, with internal condition and structural scope still to establish.
  • The photographs do not establish service provision; make enquiries and verify what connections and works the conversion will require.
