An uncommon self-build opportunity in Cowthorpe: a very large freehold plot with planning consent for a three-bedroom detached brick-built barn with integral double garage and private gardens. The permitted scheme delivers generous open-plan living with double-height glazing, a large island kitchen, pantry and utility, plus a principal bedroom with en-suite — a design that suits family living or an owner-occupier seeking a countryside home with contemporary barn character.
The plot sits in a quiet hamlet setting within easy reach of Wetherby and Harrogate, surrounded by countryside and low local crime. Planning consent (ref 25/01509/FUL) is granted but subject to conditions, Community Infrastructure Levy contributions and a first-occupation requirement: the person(s) with primary input into the design must occupy the dwelling as their sole/main residence for at least three years after completion. Buyers should factor these covenant-style requirements into their plans.
Practical considerations: the plot is very large and offers strong scope for landscaping and private gardens, but it lies in a high flood-risk area — any build will require careful drainage and flood-mitigation design. There is average mobile and broadband coverage; access to highly rated local schools and nearby commuter routes is a clear benefit. This plot suits an experienced self-builder or family prepared to meet planning conditions and invest in appropriate flood resilience.
