Description

A stone barn on the edge of Ash Priors is offered with full planning permission for conversion to a five-bedroom home. The proposed layout includes a reception hall with cloakroom and galleried landing, an open-plan kitchen and dining room, utility and boot rooms, a living room, a study or fifth bedroom, and four further bedrooms with en-suite facilities. No services are currently connected to the barn, so buyers should allow for the work and costs involved in bringing them to the site and completing the conversion. The barn and adjoining garden form Lot 1, with a further 0.4-acre pasture paddock available separately as Lot 2. The property is set in a rural village location within reach of Taunton and the M5, while Bishops Lydeard provides a range of local amenities. Planning consent was granted under application 02/21/0001; prospective purchasers should check the consent and associated documents with the local authority.

38out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial barn-conversion project rather than a finished home: the open stone-and-timber interior, traditional form and courtyard setting offer scope to create a distinctive five-bedroom property. The listing says planning permission has been granted, but the consent and its current status should be verified; no services are connected, and the roof coverings need inspection. The adjoining grass area and separate paddock add to the rural setting, with the paddock available separately.

Key opportunities

  • Create a five-bedroom home around the barn’s exposed stone walls, timber structure and courtyard arrangement.
  • Use the granted conversion consent as a starting point for the proposed galleried landing and open-plan living space, subject to verifying the consent and status.
  • Make the adjoining grass area part of the setting, with the separate 0.4-acre paddock offering an additional option.

Key risks

  • Open, unfinished agricultural interiors, no visible residential fit-out and no connected services make this a full conversion programme; the budget and timeline will be far beyond a cosmetic refresh.
  • Roof coverings appear aged and irregular in places, and ivy covers parts of the masonry; a survey is needed to establish the building’s condition.
