A substantial Georgian farmhouse with multiple outbuildings, two cottages and planning consent for a five‑unit barn conversion sits on a very large plot in Breck Lane, Barrow Hill. The holding offers clear development potential for an investor or developer who can deliver the permitted barn scheme (Planning ref: CHE/20/00860/FUL) and refurbish the principal house and cottages. The lot is offered at auction with a guide price of £1,300,000–£1,500,000 and significant scope for value uplift through completion of the consented works and general modernisation.
The farmhouse is a solid brick, period property (c.1900–1929) with high ceilings, sash-style windows and original fireplaces that retain character but require substantial refurbishment throughout. Services and finishes are dated: the house has a boiler with dual fuel capability (mineral and wood), assumed solid brick walls with no insulation, an EPC rating of G and internal areas that need modern heating, wiring and general upgrading. Two cottages on site and multiple outbuildings increase flexibility — income, maisonette conversion or demolition/redevelopment (subject to consents).
Material constraints to be considered: the site sits in an area of high crime and very deprived local indicators, broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is described as expensive. Prospective buyers should allow a realistic budget for building services, insulation and energy improvements, and factor in health and safety checks for outbuildings and boundaries. Legal documents and the full planning pack should be reviewed ahead of bidding; the sale will be conducted at auction on 14th October 2025 (guide price stated above).
For a buyer with development experience or farming ambitions, this is a rare, large‑scale rural holding with immediate planning upside and traditional farmhouse character. For occupants seeking a turnkey family home, the property will require substantial investment to make it comfortable and energy efficient.
