Description

Rycotewood Barn is a partly converted red-brick barn in a rural position between Alfold and Cranleigh. The property is offered with planning permission for conversion to a four-bedroom home, and the asking price is for the barn in its current state rather than a completed residence. The approved design retains the existing footprint and includes four bathrooms, a vaulted open-plan kitchen and family room, and living areas oriented towards the countryside views. Buyers should verify the consent with Waverley Borough Council and make their own enquiries about the project and any proposed changes. At present, the building includes open-sided barn storage, a garage and a studio or annexe with a sitting room/bedroom and a large bathroom with a bath and separate shower. A long shared driveway leads to a private drive and courtyard. A garden is included, with further land available by separate negotiation. The barn is close to Cranleigh and its shops, leisure facilities, community hospital and schools. Guildford, Godalming and Horsham are within 10 miles, with road links towards Guildford, Brighton, Gatwick Airport and the M25. The surrounding area also offers nearby sports facilities and countryside walking routes.

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

Rycotewood Barn is a substantial conversion project with a distinctive starting point: traditional red brick, exposed timber roof structure, a private courtyard and garden, and open countryside views. Planning permission is stated to have been granted for a four-bedroom family home, but the current images show open-sided storage and unfinished ground rather than a completed residential interior; the CGI depicts the proposed scheme, not the present condition. The consent and delivery requirements need checking, and the visible garden appears well maintained.

The overall score is 41/100, grade E, reflecting limited condition and economics scores alongside good fundamentals. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; renovation economics are also limited by the available data. This is a substantial, specialist conversion rather than a cosmetic refresh, with programme and delivery risk to weigh against the barn’s character and rural setting.

Key opportunities

  • Create a four-bedroom home within the existing barn footprint, subject to verifying the granted consent and its requirements.
  • Make the exposed brickwork and timber roof structure central to a characterful interior, with the approved vaulted open-plan family space designed to take in countryside views.
  • Build on the maintained lawn, paved courtyard and private-drive setting to create an appealing rural home environment.

Key risks

  • Open-sided storage, unfinished earth floors and the absence of a completed residential interior mean a heavy conversion programme: plan for a full interior build-out, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • The consent, approved plans and practical delivery requirements need independent verification; the CGI images are indicative and may not match the completed scheme.
