The Property - Nestled in a private, tucked-away position on the edge of this highly sought-after village, this traditional farm building of stone, block, and timber construction has Class Q permission to convert to a two bedroom, two bathroom single-storey character dwelling (24/24/0020/CQ).

The vendors own the land immediately adjoining the property and are therefore able to be flexible in terms of discussions with prospective buyers as to what additional land they may require at an additional figure.

The Class Q permission granted relates to the existing barn and proposed parking area to the west side. Prospective buyers are advised to make their own enquiries in terms of any change of use that may be required to any adjoining land in order for use as domestic garden.

As would be expected on an old agricultural building, there are signs of previous movement in the original stone walls which a buyer is likely to deal with during the conversion process.

There is a public footpath along the existing shared driveway but this does not extend as far as the likely curtilage of this property.
