Summary - Thornton Lane, Thornton, Markfield, Leicestershire, LE67 LE67 1AL
1 bed 1 bath Land
4.77 acres with consented 3-bed bungalow and extensive rural views.
Class Q consent for a single-storey three-bedroom conversion (Ref: 24/01048/P3CQ)
A rare countryside opportunity: a 4.77-acre freehold plot with Class Q consent to convert an agricultural barn into a single-storey three-bedroom dwelling (Hinckley & Bosworth BC Ref: 24/01048/P3CQ). The consented design specifies a high-quality finish with a zinc roof, timber cladding and aluminium glazing, positioned to take advantage of open rural views and proximity to Thornton Reservoir.
The land is well-suited to buyers seeking a smallholding, paddocks or extensive gardens alongside a bespoke home. Vehicular access is straightforward with good links to the A50 and M1 and easy reach of Markfield and Thornton villages for everyday amenities. Flood risk is recorded as none and the site benefits from a tranquil, low-crime rural setting bordered by mature hedges and trees.
Buyers should factor in practical constraints: the site is in a hamlet/isolated setting with average mobile signal and very slow broadband. The approved Class Q conversion requires completion of conversion works rather than a full new-build, and any substantial changes may need additional permissions. The plot’s scale and rural character offer strong potential, but finishing costs, services connections and broadband provision should be budgeted for.
This listing suits purchasers wanting countryside privacy with development consent already in place — either an owner-occupier seeking a tailor-made bungalow with land, or an investor/developer prepared to manage the build and service connections.
