An exceptional barn conversion opportunity in the Cotswolds AONB, Scrubditch Farm Barn offers full planning permission (ref: 24/00315/FUL) to create a striking five-bedroom family residence of almost 5,000 sq ft. CGI drawings by a recognised local architect show a dramatic open-plan living space with raised bedroom levels, robust farm-like materials and a contemporary interior palette — giving a clear path to a high-quality finished home.
The plot is large, private and bordered by agricultural fields and mature native tree belts, with proposed wildflower meadow planting and an orchard. The setting is peaceful and unspoilt, less than a mile from North Cerney village and about four miles from Cirencester, convenient for local schools including Rendcomb College and a range of leisure activities in the area.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold title, mains water, garage parking and no flooding risk. Access is via a shared driveway used by a small number of homes; the barn sits about 2.2 miles from the A417 for road links and roughly 8.5 miles from Kemble station for a direct service to London.
Important drawbacks include the need for full conversion works to complete the approved scheme — this is not a ready-to-move-in house — and very slow broadband speeds, which may affect home working. There is also shared driveway access and some distance from major shopping centres, so buyers should budget for construction costs and practical rural living considerations.
