Lot 2 Barns £75,000 -

Steel Portal Frame Building (45 X 30 Sq Feet) - This sizable steel-framed building offers a robust and flexible space that could be repurposed for various commercial, agricultural, or storage purposes. Its large floor area provides ample room for further development, including conversion into a workshop, storage facility, or even light industrial use, subject to local planning permissions.

Two Additional Barns (45 X 35 And 45 X 22 Sq Feet) - These barns are built with a mix of wooden and steel frames, and part concrete block walls, offering a more rustic yet functional structure. Despite being older, these barns have potential for renovation or conversion into various uses such as agricultural storage, animal housing, or event spaces. The corrugated iron roof, while providing basic shelter, could be replaced or repaired, adding to the barns' longevity and value.

The larger barn (45 x 35 sq feet) could also be repurposed for larger-scale operations or additional storage.

The smaller barn (45 x 22 sq feet) offers a more compact space that could be used for ancillary activities such as offices, a small retail unit, or a compact workshop.

Land Extending Beyond The Barns - The land extends slightly beyond the barns, with a small orchard area enclosed by fencing and hedging. This not only provides an attractive green space but also an area that could be developed further for agricultural purposes, leisure activities, or even further building expansion, depending on the land use policies in the area.

The land could be utilized for additional parking, landscaping, or even outdoor storage space, depending on the intended use for the barns and surrounding buildings. It could also be subdivided into smaller plots if needed, for commercial or residential development, contingent on local zoning regulations.

Access And Infrastructure - The property benefits from direct access via a council road leading to a tarmac drive that reaches the front elevation of the buildings. This provides easy and convenient access for vehicles, which is ideal for any future development, be it commercial, agricultural, or residential.

The tarmac drive offers a solid foundation for additional traffic, deliveries, or construction vehicles if further work is carried out on the barns or land.

Development Potential - Agricultural Use: The barns are already suited to agricultural storage and usage. With the additional land and orchard, this area has great potential for expanding agricultural or horticultural businesses.

Commercial or Industrial Conversion: Given the steel frame structure of the largest building and the robust nature of the two smaller barns, these could be adapted for various commercial purposes such as warehousing, workshops, or even light manufacturing, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.

Residential Development: With the surrounding land, there may be potential for residential conversion of the barns or further development of the land. A detailed feasibility study and planning application would need to be considered, but this property could be attractive for residential use, possibly for conversion into multiple units or a single large home.

Agent Notes - The vendors retain an overage clause on the agricultural buildings and yard areas for residential development of 50% of the uplift in value for a period of 25 years on the granting of planning consent or permitted development.
