Description
This traditional two-storey stone barn presents an exciting opportunity for conversion into a three-bedroom dwelling, complete with planning permission. Set within approximately two acres of adjoining paddock grazing land, this property is ideal for those interested in smallholding or equestrian activities, all within a stunning rural setting. The barn offers a unique chance to create a bespoke home, perfectly suited for buyers seeking a lifestyle project in one of the Peak District's most admired locations. With excellent access to bridleways and trails, this property is well-positioned for outdoor enthusiasts. The charming village of Longnor provides essential amenities, including a shop, pub, church, and primary school, while nearby market towns such as Bakewell, Buxton, and Leek offer a wider range of facilities. Road links via the B5053 ensure straightforward access to Macclesfield, Sheffield, Derby, and Manchester, making this a convenient yet peaceful retreat.
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
Fawfield Barn is a substantial conversion project rather than a ready-to-live-in home: the traditional stone shell has exposed structure, unfinished floors and no completed residential rooms or visible domestic services. The listing states that planning permission is in place for a three-bedroom dwelling, creating scope to shape the interior around the barn’s character, while the maintained paddock, rural views and roughly two acres of grazing land add a distinctive lifestyle angle.
The WHOTS score is 41/100, grade E, reflecting the scale of the works and the limits of the available value data rather than a judgement that the price is dear. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed; the £180,000–£350,000 renovation range signals a major conversion programme. Internal wall staining is visible in several areas, and the photos do not establish the roof’s weather-tightness or concealed structural condition.
Key opportunities
- Create a three-bedroom home from the substantial two-storey stone shell, with scope to make the exposed stone and structure part of the finished design.
- Use the adjoining grazing land, gated access and rural setting for smallholding or equestrian interests, subject to confirming the land included.
- Shape the unfinished barn interiors into a home suited to the buyer’s needs rather than adapting an existing residential layout.
Key risks
- The stripped barn shell, unfinished floors and absent residential services, together with a £180,000–£350,000 works range, make this a full conversion programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Internal wall staining is visible in several areas; the photographs do not establish its cause.
- Roof weather-tightness and concealed structural condition are not established by the exterior views.
