A rare opportunity to acquire a charming farmstead with significant potential for residential development, all set within a desirable semi-rural location. With a collection of agricultural buildings and characterful cottages, the site lends itself perfectly to a small-scale residential scheme (subject to planning), ideal for developers or those seeking a lifestyle project.
Development Potential
The current owner has explored the conversion of the agricultural buildings to residential under Class Q permitted development, working closely with Nordbarn, a barn conversion specialist who believes the scheme has strong viability. Their initial scheme is detailed below, although there are various viable options within the Class Q guidelines that buyers may wish to explore.
Proposed Class Q Scheme:
•Units 1a & 1b – 4 bed detached homes | 1,602ft² each
•Units 2a–2c – 3 bed homes | 916ft² each
•Unit 2d – 4 bed home | 1,241ft²
•Total proposed residential space: 7,193ft²
Total GDV of the above circa £3,000,000
