0.5 acre plot with expansive rural views and terraces potential

Two internal atria and large first‑floor balcony overlooking countryside
Live discharge applications for contamination, landscaping, boundaries

This substantial steel‑frame barn (approx. 465 m² / 5,000 ft²) offers a rare chance to create a dramatic countryside home on a 0.5-acre plot with far‑reaching views. Class Q prior approval for change of use to a single two‑storey dwelling has been granted, and architect concept plans show a light‑filled layout with two internal atria, large balcony, and flexible living spaces ideal for family life or entertaining.
The approved scheme provides five principal bedrooms, four bathrooms (three ensuite), large open plan kitchen/dining/family room, sitting room with balcony access, plus gym/games/utility/boot room potential. The conversion benefits from mains electricity and water, fibre broadband and an on‑site LPG tank; ample off‑street parking and landscaped terraces are practicable given the plot.
Buyers should note planning is secured under Class Q but several conditions remain to be discharged (contamination, landscaping, boundary treatment, curtilages) and related applications are live. Adjoining land outside the proposed domestic curtilage remains agricultural and the vendor reserves a right of access along the north‑western boundary. A public footpath runs along the north‑eastern boundary.
This opportunity suits a buyer wanting a sizeable, contemporary barn home in a peaceful hamlet close to Shipston‑on‑Stour and Stratford‑upon‑Avon amenities. The building is structurally ready for conversion under an approved design, but completion will require works to implement the permitted scheme and meet planning conditions.
