High Buston, Alnwick, NE66

Farm Steading | Prior Approval for Five Residential Conversions | Full Steading Included | Coastal Location | Development Opportunity

Northumberland Properties are pleased to bring to the market High Buston Steading, a substantial farm steading in a superb rural position between Alnmouth and Warkworth.

The property is offered with the benefit of Prior Approval for the conversion of two agricultural buildings to create five residential dwellings, together with associated private and shared outdoor space.

The approval was granted by Northumberland County Council under planning reference 24/01586/AGTRES.

Importantly, the sale includes the full steading, not just the two buildings benefiting from residential conversion consent.

The Approved Scheme

The approved scheme provides for five residential properties.

Plots 1–4 are arranged within one of the existing agricultural buildings and each extend to approximately 100 sq m / 1,076 sq ft, with three bedrooms, open-plan kitchen, dining and living accommodation and private covered external areas.

Plot 5 is a much larger standalone conversion extending to approximately 366 sq m / 3,940 sq ft, with generous living accommodation and up to five bedrooms.

The approved layout also includes private external areas, parking, shared open space and a private shared drive.

The proposed design retains the agricultural character of the buildings, with a mix of stone, timber cladding, metal roofing and glazing.

The Steading

The sale comprises the wider High Buston farm steading, offering substantially more than the buildings currently benefiting from residential consent.

The steading includes a range of additional agricultural and ancillary buildings arranged around the existing farmyard, providing useful storage and operational space.

Subject to the necessary consents, the wider site may also offer scope for alternative uses or further development potential.

Location

High Buston is situated between Alnmouth and Warkworth, close to the Northumberland coastline and within easy reach of Alnwick.

Alnmouth offers a sandy beach, golf course, pubs, cafés and restaurants, while Warkworth provides a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants, together with its historic castle and access to the coast.

Alnwick provides a wider range of shops, schools, restaurants and leisure facilities.

Alnmouth Railway Station is also nearby, providing connections on the East Coast Main Line north and south.

The location offers an excellent combination of open countryside, coastline and accessibility.

Planning

Prior Approval was granted for the conversion of two agricultural buildings to create five dwellings with associated private and shared outdoor space.

The approved plans include the proposed site layout together with detailed floor plans and elevations for all five properties. The approval is subject to conditions relating to matters including access, drainage, ecology and contaminated land.

The full planning pack, approved drawings and supporting documents are available from Northumberland Properties on request.
