Description
Offered at auction, this substantial barn in a gated development within the grounds of Blaby Hall is offered for conversion into a four-bedroom home. Planning permission was granted in 2021 under reference 21/0159/FUL, and the listing states that it has been implemented through the erection of a double garage. The proposed accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a reception hall, four reception rooms, a large dining kitchen, boot room, utility room and cloakroom, with four bedrooms, two en-suites and a family bathroom upstairs.
The property is freehold and is marketed with a good-size garden, parking and a double garage. The plans were designed by David Granger Design Ltd. Blaby village amenities, nearby country walks and Bouskell Park are noted in the listing. The sale is by live-streamed unconditional auction, with the auction date and lot number to be confirmed when the catalogue is finalised. Buyers should review the legal pack and auction terms, including the stated deposit and buyer’s fee, before bidding.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £135,000, this is a substantial barn conversion project in the gated grounds of Blaby Hall, with planning granted for a four-bedroom home and a double garage already in place. The brick shell, pitched roof and architect-designed scheme provide a distinctive starting point, but the interior shown is an uninhabitable shell and the proposed layout and landscaping still need to be delivered. The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. As this is an auction, bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Limited photo coverage makes the renovation assessment further provisional.
Key opportunities
- Create the planned four-bedroom home across two floors, with four reception rooms and a large dining kitchen, from the exposed barn bays.
- Retain and make a feature of the brick elevations and exposed timber structure within an architect-designed conversion.
- Complete the bare barn-side grounds to realise the proposed garden landscaping, with paved access, parking and the double garage already visible.
Key risks
- The stripped, uninhabitable shell calls for a heavy full conversion and interior build-out, not a cosmetic refresh; allow for a substantial programme.
- The roof condition cannot be fully assessed from the available views.
