The Property - Introducing The Long Barn, which is an exciting opportunity to acquire a partly renovated barn conversion located just outside the semi-rural Shropshire village of Llanfairwaterdine within the picturesque Teme Valley, just 5 miles from the popular market town of Knighton (Tref-Y-Clawdd). Llanfairwaterdine is a small, but close knit and very friendly community, which embraces the 'laid back' lifestyle and is situated right on the Welsh/English border. Lovingly restored thus far, The Long Barn offers the unique chance for new owners to add their own personal stamp and finish to the project while avoiding the laborious and expensive early stages of the development.

Designed by local architects Inklines, planning permission was obtained for a spacious 3/4 bedroom property complete with 3 reception rooms, 2 bathrooms, south-facing gardens, off road parking and stunning views across the surrounding countryside. Available with no upward chain, once complete, The Long Barn will no doubt present a pleasant blend of contemporary and period features from double glazed windows and solar roof panels to exposed timer beams and stonework throughout. Designed with spacious living in mind, the property will offer an upside-down layout with a full ceiling height entrance hall, utility, shower room and 4 bedrooms wit en-suite to master on the ground floor, while the first floor accommodates a gallery landing, kitchen, dining room, W.C, study and living room.

As you can see from the photographs, extensive work is still required to finish off the project, however a lot of hard work and money has already gone into the development by the owners using quality materials and reputable local tradesmen. Works completed thus far include the re-pointing of exterior stonework, exterior cladding, the new slate roof, the foundations and overall groundworks, new windows and external doors and the installation of both the ground and first floors, along with first fix stud wall partitions, all just to mention a select few. Electricity and water connections are already established at the property, however new owners will need to install heating and drainage systems.

Planning Permission - Planning permission and all accompanying documents available on the Shropshire Council website - Ref: 16/04974/FUL
