A rare freehold development opportunity in the Golden Valley, Newton Farm offers Class Q consent to convert a modern portal-frame barn into a one‑bedroom dwelling. Set on a large plot with uninterrupted views towards the Wye Valley and Merbach Hill, the site suits buyers seeking a rural conversion project with strong local demand from holiday lets or resale.
The site benefits from planning permission under Herefordshire County Council (application 230105) subject to any reserved matters. Services are available nearby including mains electricity, water and telephone; sewerage will be via a package treatment plant and there is no mains gas. The property is sold chain free and the vendor will contribute towards the overage payment required by the council — purchasers should budget for that payment before commencing works.
This is a straightforward Class Q conversion: the barn is modern in structure but will require internal fit-out and compliance with any reserved matters and building regulations. Access points shown on plans may differ on completion, and buyers must verify service connections and site boundaries themselves. The location is very rural with average mobile signal but fast broadband reported — attractive for countryside buyers who still need reliable connectivity.
For an investor or developer this offers clear value: low entry price, planning in place, substantial land and strong nearby demand from Hay‑on‑Wye visitors and the local rental market. For self‑builders it provides scope to create a bespoke countryside home with dramatic valley views, albeit with the usual conversion costs and statutory obligations to factor in.
