Agent's note
Baytree Barn is a listed property, and therefore benefits from planning conditions, including access arrangements and landscaping proposals, designed to protect its setting, privacy and sense of separation in the context of surrounding development. The area surrounding Baytree Barn is undergoing a period of planned growth.

The land to the west of Buttleys Lane, and to the north of the barn fronting Stortford Road, has been granted planning permission for 46 new homes under application TT/19/2354/OP. Access to this development will be taken from Stortford Road rather than Buttleys Lane. As part of the scheme, new landscaping and tree planting will be introduced along the boundary adjoining Baytree Barn, helping to create a natural buffer.

To the west of the barn, permission has also been granted for a development of eight detached family homes under application UTT/25/2425/OP. A designated safeguarding area of natural land will remain between this site and Baytree Barn, ensuring a sense of separation.

To the east of Buttleys Lane and Baytree Barn, the new Helena Romanes School campus is currently under construction, providing a significant enhancement to local educational provision. Further details on this scheme are pending.

Additional information relating to any of these developments is available upon request.

Location

Positioned just west of the town, Buttleys Lane enjoys a tucked-away position while still benefiting from excellent access to local amenities and transport links. The town has well regarded primary and secondary schools, including Dunmow St Mary’s, Great Dunmow Primary and Helena Romanes School, which provides all through education from early years to sixth form. Independent options such as Felsted School are also within easy reach.

The barn sits on the fringe of the Flitch Way, with direct access from Buttleys Lane. Flitch Way is a 15 mile country park that follows the route of the former railway line. It provides a corridor for walking, cycling and horse riding, linking a series of picturesque villages and offering access to woodland, open countryside and wildlife.

The historic high street is home to an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday services, giving the town a vibrant and welcoming feel. Larger retail needs are well catered for too, with a Tesco Superstore on the edge of town.

Great Dunmow is also extremely well-connected. The A120 is just moments away, offering fast links to the A12, M11 and wider road network. Stansted Airport is approximately 10-15 minutes by car, providing international travel as well as rail connections into London Liverpool Street.
