This is a substantial rural redevelopment opportunity: a range of traditional farm buildings with full planning consent (PA/2022/883) to create a 5-bedroom principal house plus a 1-bedroom annexe, set within about 3.48 acres of open countryside. The site offers long, unobstructed views and scope to create a distinctive family home or a lettable annexe in a secluded hamlet setting.
The property will be sold at auction on a freehold basis with vacant possession and requires a 10% deposit on exchange and up to eight weeks for completion. Essential services (mains water, drainage, electricity) are not apparent on site; buyers should obtain firm costed connection details. Broadband is recorded as very slow while mobile signal is excellent — factor communications and connectivity when planning modern living or rental use.
The buildings are essentially agricultural/derelict and will need comprehensive conversion and likely structural and services work. The planning consent is a significant value driver but brings responsibilities: compliance with the approved drawings, potential conditions, and any further local planning or listed-building constraints. This lot is best suited to experienced developers, conversion specialists, or buyers comfortable with rural renovation and the auction purchase process.
Note the practical considerations: the site is remote in an ageing rural neighbourhood classification, crime and deprivation are average, and there is only one bathroom recorded. Prospective bidders should review the legal pack, confirm service connections, and carry out a full survey before bidding.
