There is off-road parking for several vehicles and a garage with light and power. Residents also have use of a communal riverside area beside the River Alham.

A residents’ management contribution of £45 per quarter covers servicing and emptying the communal septic tank and repairs to communal driveways. The property is freehold and in Council Tax Band D.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

62out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Ploughmans Barn is a characterful, flexible detached conversion, with a vaulted sitting room, fireplace and stove giving it a distinctive centrepiece. The rooms shown are clean and usable, while some bedroom finishes and décor are older in style, leaving room for a light cosmetic refresh rather than a major overhaul. The maintained garden, parking, garage and communal riverside area add to its appeal.

At £430,000, the asking price is about 5.5% below the local average on a £/sqf basis, which supports the value case. The attic and adaptable accommodation offer further possibilities, subject to consents and feasibility; overall, this is a C-grade opportunity with moderate economics rather than a standout margin.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh older bedroom finishes and décor to give the clean, usable interiors a more current feel.
  • Make the most of the vaulted sitting room, exposed beams, fireplace and stove as the home’s characterful focal point.
  • Explore the attic’s potential uses and the flexible reception room layout, subject to consents and feasibility.
