Description

Offered at auction, this rural property near Stoke Albany combines a partly redeveloped brick barn, a former golf clubhouse with ancillary accommodation, and approximately 123.94 hectares (306.26 acres) of land. The barn is arranged around a courtyard, with a two-storey western wing and single-storey sections. Planning permission was granted in 1991 for conversion to a single dwelling, and the listing says the works remain incomplete. The proposed home is described as a four-bedroom dwelling of approximately 179.69 sq m (1,934 sq ft). The former clubhouse is a detached brick building with an office and a one-bedroom flat. Planning permission has been granted to convert it into a private five-bedroom dwelling of approximately 470 sq m (5,059 sq ft). The land comprises arable and pasture fields, former golf-course land, woodland, tracks, car parks, ponds and lakes. The property is around one mile north of Stoke Albany, approximately six miles east of Market Harborough and ten miles north-west of Kettering, with access to the A427 and A14 nearby. Buyers should review the planning and legal documents and establish the extent and cost of the unfinished works.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

32out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is an unusually large rural conversion project, with a substantial brick barn and former clubhouse set within extensive farmland, woodland and former golf-course grounds. The barn is described as partly redeveloped but unfinished, while the clubhouse has permission for conversion; the visible building exteriors appear broadly in place, but the photos do not show internal finishes or services, so the scope still needs careful verification.

At a guide price of £2.4m, the asking figure is very high against the local average at £1,241 per sq ft versus £330. This is an auction sale, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The landholding and scale may appeal to a buyer seeking a substantial rural project, but the price/value score is weak and the overall opportunity is low.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the partly converted courtyard barn into the described four-bedroom dwelling, shaping the layout and finishes around the existing brick structure.
  • Explore the former clubhouse conversion into the permitted five-bedroom home, subject to confirming the permission and remaining requirements.
  • The extensive fields, woodland, tracks and former golf-course landscape give the holding unusual scope for a rural lifestyle or land-based project.

Key risks

  • The barn is unfinished and the clubhouse conversion is not evidenced internally; plan for a substantial, multi-building programme and verify the remaining works, services and permissions before committing.
