Available are two barns with planning permission to convert into two residential properties. Both retaining much of their original structure and period detailing.

The Cider Barn and The Cart Shed form part of a larger complex of period barn conversions most of which have already been converted by the owner.

Located in a wonderful rural position close to the popular market town of Tenbury Wells. Tenbury lies in an area known for growing hops and cider apples and also the rearing of cattle and sheep, for which the annual Agricultural and Countryside Show in August each year is a wonderful advertisement. Queen Victoria, who visited the area at the end of the 19th century, referred to Tenbury as, my little town in the orchard. The affection could not have been more appropriate and the description lives on to this day.

Planning permission for the barns was granted originally in 2009 and as some of the barns have already been converted. The planning permission is considered live and therefore there are no timescales to complete the remaining conversions. They are for sale on a self-build basis, where the purchaser will have the option of converting it themselves or engaging the services of a builder. This will reduce the stamp duty element as this is only paid on the purchase price of the barns.


The Cart Shed -
The anticipated build cost is in the region of £300,000 (subject to personal choices and alterations) with a final value expected to be in the region of £525,000 (based on comparable properties sold and for sale in May 2024). Prices and costs can go up and down and buyers should anticipate some contingencies may be necessary. The anticipated build time is approximately 12 months.

The Cart Shed will measure approximately 1600 sq. ft. and comprise of a stunning sitting room with one wall fully glazed and a vaulted ceiling. There is a utility room, huge kitchen/dining room again with a partially vaulted ceiling and a double bedroom. There is a staircase leading to a half landing where there is a bathroom and the staircase splits in two, one leading to a mezzanine office/study or occasional guest bedroom and the other to a second double bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

The floor plan is indicative of what can be achieved with the space but the beauty of being the developer is that, within reason, the internal layout could be altered to suit and some flexibility on finish. The floor plan has been created from architects drawings as it is impossible to measure accurately at this time and the finished property may vary.
The property benefits from ample parking for 3 or 4 cars and to the rear is an enclosed garden which is of a good size.
