Description
Offered at auction, this detached stone barn in Dinas Cross has detailed planning consent for conversion to a single-storey dwelling with a hall, living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, together with a separate garden store. The consent and plans are available for inspection; buyers should check the permission and its conditions before proceeding.
The existing building is predominantly stone-built, with a pitched corrugated cement fibre/asbestos roof. The listing gives internal measurements of approximately 30 ft 6 in by 14 ft 6 in for the barn, with an adjoining cart house or hay shed and a former coolhouse. The property is freehold and offered with vacant possession. A good-sized plot includes off-road parking and turning space, and the boundaries are shown on the supplied plan.
The site is close to the centre of Dinas Cross and fronts the A487. The village is between Fishguard and Newport, with the Pembrokeshire coast and nearby beaches within easy reach. The listing states that mains services are available in the vicinity, rather than confirming connections to the property. The sale is by online auction, with a legal pack available before bidding.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
33out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a stone barn conversion project rather than a habitable house: the listing says detailed planning consent has been granted for a single-storey dwelling, and the stone structure, adjoining areas and coastal-village setting give the scheme a clear starting point. The grounds are heavily overgrown, while the building is weathered and the corrugated roof is identified as cement fibre/asbestos, so this is a substantial conversion with roof condition and handling requirements to investigate. The WHOTS score is 33/100 (E), reflecting weak investability and limited economics data; no floor area is available, so value versus local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. The guide is £45,000–£65,000, and online auction bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Use the stone barn and adjoining ancillary areas as the basis for the consented single-storey dwelling, subject to checking the planning decision, conditions and feasibility.
- Clear and reshape the overgrown plot to make better use of its stated parking, turning space and garden potential.
- Make a distinctive coastal-village home close to the Pembrokeshire coastline, with the stone structure providing character for the conversion.
Key risks
- The weathered cement-fibre/asbestos roof needs a survey and appropriate handling requirements verified before works are planned.
- Converting a weathered, uninhabitable barn and clearing the overgrown plot is a full conversion programme, not a cosmetic refresh; scope and budget need establishing before commitment.
