Set in a very affluent rural area between Halstead and Earls Colne, Lot 2 comprises a large steel‑framed barn and assorted outbuildings with approximately 3.5 acres of land. The site is approached via a separate entrance and offers substantial scope to convert existing agricultural buildings to residential or commercial uses subject to prior approval under Class Q. Fast broadband, low crime and no flood risk add to the practical appeal for conversion projects.
The main appeal is scale and flexibility: the expansive barn with high ceilings and robust steel frame lends itself to an open-plan residential conversion or mixed commercial/residential reuse (subject to STPP). The huge plot provides space for gardens, parking and ancillary buildings, and the rural setting offers privacy and unspoilt views. Nearby primary schools are rated Good, and secondary provision is within a short drive.
Buyers should note this is a conversion opportunity, not a finished dwelling. Class Q provides a defined route for change of use but requires a prior approval process assessing highways, noise, contamination, flood risk and design. Conversion will require building works, services connections and statutory approvals. Council tax and some services details are not confirmed. This lot is therefore best suited to a developer, investor or buyer prepared to manage planning and construction.
In summary: a rare, large rural plot with a sound industrial barn frame and clear conversion potential under Class Q. The site offers strong upside for the right buyer but comes with regulatory steps, construction costs and the usual uncertainties of converting agricultural buildings.
