Description
This is a unique opportunity to acquire two steel-framed barns with approved plans for conversion into four residential units in a desirable rural location. The barns have received Class Q Prior Approval from Somerset Council for the transformation into four single-storey, two-bedroom homes, encompassing a total area of approximately 471sqm across both structures. With just over an acre of land available, including designated garden areas and parking, this property presents an exciting chance for bespoke development or alternative projects, dependent upon obtaining necessary consents. Located in the scenic village of Rodney Stoke, bordered by a tranquil stream and close to the Mendips Hills ANOB, this site benefits from its accessibility to nearby cities such as Wells and Cheddar. Additionally, further agricultural land may be purchased through separate negotiation, although it will not be sold separately from the barns. Buyers are encouraged to conduct thorough investigations regarding planning history and potential developments as part of their due diligence.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
58out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £500,000, this is exceptionally cheap against the local average on a floor-area basis: £119/sqf versus £332/sqf. That makes the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity, although the overall score remains weak because the project’s economics are limited and risk is elevated.
Key opportunities
- Class Q prior approval is in place for four dwellings, giving a clear basis for turning the two barns into a residential scheme.
- The existing barn structures and substantial hardstanding provide a starting canvas for a bespoke conversion rather than a conventional house renovation.
- Open rural surroundings and proposed private amenity areas offer scope to shape the outdoor setting around the new homes.
Key risks
- The agricultural barns are not finished homes: plan for a substantial conversion programme, including creating residential interiors and establishing the required services, rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The photos do not establish the condition of the structure beneath the cladding or the roof, or the site’s service capacity; these need careful investigation.
