New House Farm is a period detached farmhouse in the Staffordshire village of Ashley, accompanied by traditional barns and outbuildings. The property offers two routes for its next use: retain the farmhouse as a substantial single residence and update it, or pursue the approved scheme to create separate homes.
The listing states that full planning permission has been granted to divide the farmhouse into two dwellings, with new openings proposed, and to convert three traditional barns into residential properties. The approved scheme is described as a five-home development under planning reference 24/00783/FUL. Buyers should check the current status and conditions of the consent and assess the work required to deliver their chosen option. The farmhouse is described as having five bedrooms and an EPC rating of G.

64out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £800,000, New House Farm is priced at about £249 per sq ft, below the local average of £271 — a genuine opportunity to acquire a substantial farmhouse and its traditional barns at a competitive rate. The score is C: the fundamentals are strong, but the overall opportunity is tempered by the scale of the work and only moderate economics.
There are two clear routes to add value: make the period farmhouse your own country home, or pursue the stated full planning permission for two farmhouse dwellings and three barn conversions. The farmhouse looks broadly liveable in the photographed rooms, while its finishes, the grounds and the weathered outbuildings offer plenty of scope. The barns and any apparent roof works warrant close inspection before settling on a programme.
Key opportunities
- Choose between creating one individual country home and pursuing the stated planning permission for two farmhouse dwellings and three barn conversions.
- The farmhouse’s character, fireplaces and multiple living spaces provide a foundation for a substantial reworking of the interior.
- Improve the overgrown grounds and neglected hardstanding alongside the farmhouse and barns to give the wider site a more cohesive finish.
Key risks
- The weathered barns, apparent roof works and scaffolding need detailed inspection to establish their condition and likely programme.
- This is a heavy, multi-building project: plan for a substantial programme across the farmhouse, barns and grounds, rather than a cosmetic refresh.
