Description

A substantial barn and granary conversion opportunity in Wellingore, with full planning permission for a five-bedroom, three-storey home of approximately 3,336 sq ft. The approved scheme includes five bathrooms and a detached double garage, retaining elements of the existing buildings while introducing accommodation designed for contemporary use. The site extends to around 0.24 acres and sits on Cliff Road. The proposed ground floor includes a kitchen and dining area, drawing room, office, gym, screening room, utility and pantry. The upper floors are arranged with five bedrooms, including en-suite accommodation. The planning permission was granted by North Kesteven District Council under reference 25/0119/FUL for restoration and conversion of the existing barn and granary, together with construction of the garage. Wellingore is around 10 miles south of Lincoln, with local amenities in the village and neighbouring Navenby. The A607 and A17 provide road connections to Lincoln, Sleaford, Newark and Grantham, where mainline rail services are available. The property is freehold and offered for sale by private treaty. Interested parties should make their own enquiries about the availability and cost of services and review the planning documents.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £195,000, this is exceptionally cheap against the local £/sqf benchmark, making the acquisition price a clear opportunity. The listing states that full planning permission has been granted to restore and convert the period barn and granary into a substantial five-bedroom home with a detached double garage; verify the permission’s conditions and implementation status before proceeding.

This is a heavy, high-risk project rather than a cosmetic refresh: the existing buildings look derelict, with extensive overgrowth and visible roof damage, including a structure that appears partly collapsed. For someone ready to tackle a major restoration, the period character, approved scheme and village setting offer a distinctive project, but the weak overall grade reflects the scale of work and limited renovation-economics data.

Key opportunities

  • Restore the period barn and granary while retaining their character, following the stated consent for a substantial five-bedroom home.
  • The approved scheme includes a detached double garage, and the approximately 0.24-acre plot offers scope to improve the overgrown, debris-strewn grounds.
  • Acquire at a strikingly low asking price against the local £/sqf benchmark in a sought-after village setting.

Key risks

  • The buildings are severely neglected and a roof structure appears damaged or partly collapsed; allow for potentially significant structural and weatherproofing work.
  • Stripped-back restoration at this scale calls for a full building programme, including roof and interior work, rather than a cosmetic refresh; plan for substantial time, coordination and budget.
