A rare development parcel in Wolston: Marston Hall Barns offers 7,393 sq ft of traditional farm buildings with Class Q consent to create five residential units, set within a substantial 7.31-acre holding (1.85 acres around the barns plus 5.46 acres of pasture). The red-brick barns, high internal volumes and courtyard arrangement present strong potential for characterful conversions that will appeal to buyers seeking countryside homes within commuting distance of Coventry, Rugby and Birmingham.
Practical considerations are clear and should form part of any offer. Both consents carry conditions and require completion of the conversions within three years of their respective decision dates; upgrading and widening of the access at Priory Road is a planning requirement. Two additional agricultural buildings remain without conversion consent and could support storage or ancillary uses subject to separate applications. No asbestos survey has been carried out — purchasers should commission one as part of due diligence.
The land extends to 5.46 acres of pasture, divided around a public right of way and enclosed by mature hedgerows. The northern boundary adjoins the River Avon and parts of the neighbouring flood plain fall into Flood Zones 2 and 3; the sale indicates the flood plain lies beyond the land boundary but seasonal wetness of loamy soils is recorded. Mains water and electricity serve the barns and fields (drinking troughs), but broadband speeds are very slow — a material point for some end users.
Overall this is a high-potential, brownfield conversion opportunity for an investor or developer comfortable with permitted-development timescales and rural site logistics. The location combines quiet countryside setting with good road and rail links to Coventry, Rugby and Birmingham, making completed homes attractive to commuting families or professionals. Buyers should review planning conditions, access works and servicing capacity before exchange.
