Brackenhill Farm is an agricultural building offered with planning consent for conversion into a substantial three-bedroom home of approximately 4,650 sq ft. The proposed design combines the existing structure's character with contemporary materials and includes an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, two further reception rooms, a study, separate office, gym, sauna, cinema room, utility and storage space.
The property sits in a rural position on the outskirts of Church Fenton, with open countryside around it. The village has everyday amenities and a railway station, while the A64 and A1(M) provide road links towards York and Leeds. The consented scheme includes landscaping and native planting. The listing also refers to a 25% overage clause relating to future planning approval on adjoining fields. Any alternative use or further development would require the relevant permissions, and the overage terms should be reviewed in detail.

Confidence: LOW
At £650,000, Brackenhill Farm is a strikingly low-cost entry point for 4,650 sq ft: the asking price works out at £140 per sq ft, around 52% below the local average. Planning consent is in place to convert the agricultural building into a substantial, bespoke country home, with generous open-plan living and scope for specialist spaces such as a cinema, gym and sauna. The contemporary interiors and exterior shown are illustrations of the proposed scheme, not evidence that the conversion has been completed.
This is a major conversion project rather than a cosmetic update: the existing building remains visibly agricultural, and the surrounding land will also need to be shaped into the landscaped setting described. The low asking price and scale of the proposed home give the project real appeal, but the overall opportunity is tempered by limited renovation-economics information and elevated delivery risk.
Key opportunities
- Create a flexible, large-scale home from the existing agricultural structure, with the consented open-plan living space and specialist rooms offering scope to tailor the layout.
- The proposed design combines the retained steel frame and sections of blockwork with contemporary materials and generous glazing, giving the conversion a distinctive character.
- Shape the open grassland, hedges and trees into the landscaped rural setting envisaged by the scheme.
Key risks
- The existing agricultural building is still visibly utilitarian, so delivering the proposed residence is a full conversion programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; the scale and cost of the works need careful budgeting and scheduling.
