A rare development opportunity set in about 2 acres, less than seven miles north of York. A modern portal-framed agricultural building (approx 2,160 sq ft footprint) has prior approval to change to a substantial 4-bedroom dwelling with a proposed gross internal area of about 2,830 sq ft, offering open countryside views and plenty of room for stables, garaging or garden landscaping.
The site is attractive to developers and owner-occupiers seeking sizeable accommodation and land in a quiet village setting. The barn’s industrial volumes and tall ceilings provide flexible internal layouts and scope for contemporary glazing to maximise the rural outlook. Nearby schools and low local crime make the location appealing for families in future.
Buyers should note practical and legal obligations: mains water and electricity are not yet connected (electricity estimate quoted at £33,600), development is subject to the Decision Notice conditions and must be completed within three years of the prior approval date. The development will also be liable for the Community Infrastructure Levy, and all dimensions are approximate.
This is a straightforward conversion plot for someone prepared to manage planning conditions, utility connections and fit-out. For the right buyer it offers a countryside lifestyle with a substantial new home and large paddock in an established farming community, close enough to York for commuting yet set in a peaceful, rural environment.
