Summary - HARDINGS BARN BARDFIELD END GREEN THAXTED DUNMOW CM6 3PX
4 bed 2 bath Barn Conversion
Dramatic vaulted barn with planning for a 4-bed country home and garden.
Approved planning permission for residential change of use (UTT/24/1191/FUL)
Set in a tucked-away hamlet near Thaxted, Hardings Barn is an unlisted detached barn with approved planning (Uttlesford UTT/24/1191/FUL) to convert from Class E commercial to a 4-bedroom residential dwelling of approximately 2,500 sqft. The building’s dramatic vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and generous floor area create a memorable main living space with strong potential for a contemporary country home. The site offers a southerly garden, off-street parking for several vehicles and EV charging provision.
The proposed layout suits family life: ground-floor open plan living with two studies and a master suite, plus three first-floor bedrooms and family bathroom. Modern environmental features are already specified — air source heat pump and underfloor heating — reducing the need for major mechanical upgrades once fitted. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, which supports home working and connectivity from this semi-rural setting.
Buyers should note the property remains in Class E commercial use, so the new residential layout will require completion of the approved conversion works and compliance with any planning conditions. Conversion costs, fitting-out and potential landscaping works should be factored into budgets. The current EPC is D (97), so further efficiency improvements may be needed to reach higher ratings.
This barn will most appeal to buyers wanting a character home in the countryside with substantial internal volume and planning in place — families seeking spacious rooms and studies, or purchasers wanting a sympathetic conversion project with much of the regulatory groundwork already completed. The location is peaceful and private but sits a short distance from Thaxted’s services, balancing seclusion with local convenience.
