Description
Offered at auction, Mill Barn is a Grade II listed former barn in Great Alne, with full planning permission for conversion to a two- or three-bedroom home. The proposed layout includes three bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a lounge, a snug or study, and a utility room across two floors. The building is set beside Great Alne Mill and has a garden area overlooking the River Alne, private parking and fishing rights on the river.
Planning permission is recorded under reference 21/04097/FUL, with a Certificate of Lawful Proposed Use or Development granted in August 2025 under reference 25/01710/LDP. The barn is offered as a conversion project, and prospective purchasers should review the planning documents and auction legal pack and confirm the availability of services. The listing reports mains water and electricity, with a septic tank serving the property.
The freehold property is offered with vacant possession on completion. Great Alne is around seven miles from Stratford-upon-Avon and three miles from Alcester, with road links to the M42 and M40. The village has a primary school, village hall, parish church and pub. The auction particulars state that a 10% deposit, subject to a minimum of £5,000, and an administration fee of £950 plus VAT are payable under the sale terms.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
41out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
Mill Barn is a substantial conversion project rather than a house ready for a cosmetic refresh: the interior remains an unfinished barn, with exposed timber and masonry, bare floors and no completed residential accommodation. Its historic character, private parking and garden area overlooking the River Alne give the project a distinctive setting, and the listing states that planning permission and a Certificate of Lawful Proposed Use or Development have been granted for a residential conversion. Check the approved documents, conditions and listed-building requirements carefully, and arrange a specialist assessment of the aged roof and external fabric.
The £150,000 figure is the auction guide price, but floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The overall WHOTS score is 41/100 (E): the barn has a clear character-led conversion opportunity, but the heavy build programme and limited information on renovation economics make this a lower-scoring prospect.
Key opportunities
- Shape the long barn into the approved two- or three-bedroom home, using its open volume to create a distinctive two-storey layout.
- Retain and showcase the exposed historic timber and masonry as defining features of the finished interior.
- Make the most of the garden outlook towards the River Alne, with private parking and stated fishing rights adding to the rural setting.
Key risks
- The stripped barn interior calls for a heavy, whole-building conversion programme, with time and budget for creating complete residential accommodation rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The tiled roof and external fabric appear aged; obtain a specialist condition assessment, as the photographs do not establish a specific defect or structural failure.
- Verify the planning permission, lawful development certificate, listed-building requirements and availability of services before committing.
