Set within the hamlet of Grimscote, this ironstone barn dates from the 1700s and benefits from Full Planning Approval granted 22 July 2025 for conversion to a 223.6 m2 (2,406 ft2) residential dwelling. The plot enjoys open countryside outlooks, a small enclosed yard/garden, very low local crime and fast broadband — strong location attributes for a rural redevelopment scheme.
The building is presently derelict/semi-ruinous and will require full refurbishment or potential demolition and rebuild to realise the consented dwelling. Essential works and services provision (mains connections, drainage) will materially affect costs and are not specified; the access is via a single-track/estate lane, which could constrain construction traffic and deliveries.
This freehold plot is suited to a developer, investor, or experienced self-builder seeking a period conversion with planning in place. The site’s primary value drivers are the approved residential consent, attractive rural setting, and generous internal floor area once completed. Buyers should factor in restoration, services works and possible site preparation when assessing viability.
