Description
This detached residential site combines Stonewell House with an existing consent for seven additional homes within its grounds. The current permission retains the house and includes demolition of an outbuilding and formation of access. The existing dwelling is described as being in excellent condition and provides a residential asset alongside the development land.
Plans have also been prepared for an alternative scheme involving demolition of Stonewell House and 11 new homes. Barnsley Council has held positive pre-application discussions about that proposal, but no application has been submitted, so it would require a separate planning decision. Vendor technical information includes a Phase 2 ground investigation, a drainage strategy and other development-related work. A legal easement with Barnsley Council has been agreed subject to signature.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
Stonewell House is a usable, maintained starting point, with a stone-faced exterior and extensive established grounds. The interior finishes are dated rather than in need of a major overhaul, so the stated £5,000–£12,000 renovation range points to a light cosmetic refresh and scope to improve the garden. The listing also states that planning permission is in place for seven additional homes, alongside the existing house; the separate 11-home idea is only at pre-application stage and should not be treated as consented.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated decorative finishes while retaining the existing house’s usable layout and maintained exterior.
- Improve the long, partly overgrown grounds and established planting.
- Review the stated permission for seven additional homes, including its conditions, alongside the existing dwelling.
Key risks
None recorded.
