Summary - THE ENGLISH BARN, IDLICOTE ESTATE BARNS, IDLICOTE ROAD CV36 5DW
5 bed 4 bath Plot
Half-acre plot with dramatic rural views and architect-led design concepts.
465 m² (5,000 ft²) Class Q conversion opportunity for a single dwelling
A rare Class Q conversion plot offering an opportunity to create a dramatic, contemporary countryside home. The Drying Barn sits in a private estate with far-reaching views across rolling farmland and occupies about 0.5 acres, large enough for landscaped gardens, terraces and generous parking.
Architect-prepared designs (GIA c.465 m² / 5,000 ft²) propose a light-filled two-storey house with two internal atrium gardens, sweeping first-floor balcony, five principal bedrooms and flexible living spaces including a gym, games room and boot/utility facilities. Mains water and electricity are present, fibre broadband is available and an LPG tank serves the site.
The site benefits from a secure prior approval (Class Q) for change of use to a single dwelling (reference 25/01163/COUQ, dated 8 July 2025), but several discharge-of-conditions applications are live: contamination, landscaping, boundary treatments and residential curtilage. Adjoining agricultural land remains outside the proposed domestic curtilage and a public footpath runs along the north-eastern boundary. The vendor reserves a right of access to the neighbouring English Barn along the north-western boundary.
This is best suited to a buyer comfortable with completing the technical conditions and taking a large conversion project forward. With precedent high-quality barn conversions nearby and strong local demand for self-build, the plot presents significant potential for a substantial, bespoke family home once outstanding conditions are discharged.
