A rare rural development opportunity on the edge of Stanford in the Vale with prior approval under Class Q for conversion to five dwellings. The site is offered as individual parcels or as a whole (up to 22 acres), giving flexibility for a small-scale developer or a buyer seeking a single barn conversion with substantial land. The barns are agricultural in appearance with metal roofs and broad, flat pasture that suits low-intensity agricultural use or residential landscaping once conversions are complete.
Planning prior approval (Vale of White Horse DC Ref P24/V0488/N4B) has been granted subject to conditions, giving a clear route to residential use but requiring the buyer to discharge conditions and complete technical matters. Mains services are understood to be nearby but have not been specifically tested or confirmed; buyers should commission their own enquiries and surveys. The vendor has indicated any CIL or S106 liability will be paid by the vendor.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds in the locality are slow and the site has a medium flood risk in places, so purchasers should factor in connectivity and drainage works within costs. The location sits roughly halfway between Swindon and Oxford on the A417, with good mobile signal, nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good–Outstanding, and a prosperous rural catchment attractive to buyers seeking countryside living within commuting distance of larger centres.
