Planning permission activated for conversion to a 4-bed detached two-storey house
Works started: garage footing dug; agricultural buildings demolished; service ducts installed
Detached double garage included in approved scheme and initial works
Rural plot with river views and generous garden potential
Medium flood risk — affects insurance and construction requirements
Slow broadband and average mobile signal in the area
Freehold plot in village setting near two Good-rated primary schools
Area classified as deprived; consider local services and resale factors
An unusual riverside building plot with planning permission activated to convert an existing agricultural building into a 4-bedroom detached two-storey home. Works have already begun: agricultural buildings demolished, ducts installed for services and footing excavated for a detached double garage, which reduces early-stage site risk for a purchaser prepared to complete the build.
The approved layout includes open-plan living, a snug, study, utility, ground-floor WC, en-suite to the master, two dressing rooms and a family bathroom — a practical family arrangement or high-spec finish for a resale. The plot offers rural river views and ample outside space for a garden and parking, situated in a village setting within reach of two Good-rated primary schools.
Buyers should weigh the clear positives against material constraints: the site is in a deprived area with slow broadband, average mobile signal and average local crime rates. Flooding risk is rated medium — relevant to design, insurance and mortgage terms. This is a freehold conversion opportunity suited to builders, developers or an owner-occupier wanting to complete and personalise a substantial rural home.
