An opportunity to purchase a consented farmyard for conversion to residential use, providing four traditional dwellings.
Description
This is an exciting re-development opportunity to convert the existing single storey range of Grade II Listed traditional brick and flint farm buildings into high quality residential units with pitched slate roofs with a Gross Internal Area of 497 sq m / 5350 sq ft.
The proposal is to demolish the modern agricultural buildings and convert the traditional barns to form four dwellings. The u-shaped buildings around the courtyard are consented to be converted into 3 dwellings, with a stone barn to the rear proposed to have its modern additions demolished and then extended into a L shape, to form a fourth dwelling which will have its own access, garden, parking area and carport. Buildings 1,2 & 3 also each benefit from their own amenity area along with bin storage, bike stores and allocated carparking spaces in a shared parking area. The courtyard will benefit from a brick wall and formal communal gardens. Each dwelling would also have its own private amenity space.
