Substantial Dutch barn with 8.32 acres and conversion potential in scenic Cotswolds.
Permitted development to convert barn into a substantial two‑bedroom dwelling
A rare countryside opportunity: a former general-purpose Dutch barn with permitted development to convert into a substantial two‑bedroom dwelling, set within a total of 8.32 acres. The barn sits privately with uninterrupted views over open Cotswold farmland and includes covered off‑street parking. Adjoining land comprises about 0.84 acres of mature woodland and 4.74 acres of field currently sown to wild bird cover (to be relocated before completion).
The plot is highly versatile — ideal for someone seeking a bespoke rural home, smallholding, or a development/investment project. The site is freehold and reasonably accessible to nearby Lechlade and Burford and commuter routes to Oxford, Bristol and London. Excellent mobile signal supports remote working; however broadband speeds on site are slow, which may affect high‑bandwidth needs.
Buyers should note material issues plainly: the barn requires full conversion works to become habitable and the permitted development works are implied rather than completed. There is a medium flood risk for the area which should be checked in detail, and services (mains water, sewerage, electricity) are not specified. The field currently supports wildlife planting which will be removed prior to completion.
This is a strong proposition for someone who values space, privacy and countryside views and who can manage a conversion project. It suits buyers prepared to budget for build‑out, drainage and connectivity improvements, or investors looking for a barn‑to‑home conversion in an affluent rural location.
