A rare residential development plot in the attractive Bedfordshire village of Keysoe, offered as a whole with full planning consent (Bedford Borough Council ref: 24/02215/FUL dated 9 April 2025). Consent covers conversion of the larger barn into two 4-bedroom semi-detached homes (circa 2,529 sq ft and 2,421 sq ft) and the smaller barn into a 3-bedroom home (circa 1,776 sq ft). The site extends to approximately 0.40 hectares (0.98 acres) with sufficient private amenity space, parking provision and a pond on the eastern fringe.
The buildings are a mix of traditional brick and modern steel portal frame construction; their scale and high internal heights suit conversion to spacious family homes. The hamlet location offers countryside views, very low local crime, good nearby primary and independent schooling, and easy road links: A1, A428 and A14 are within close proximity, with Bedford and St Neots stations providing direct services to London.
Practical considerations: the sale is by private treaty as a whole; tenure is recorded as unknown and should be confirmed. The site has average broadband speeds and no mobile signal on site. Converting agricultural buildings will require building works, services connection checks and ongoing maintenance; prospective buyers should allow for conversion costs and compliance with the existing planning conditions.
This opportunity will suit a developer or investor seeking planning-complete barn conversions in an affluent, prospering countryside setting. There is clear scope to deliver three substantial homes with generous gardens, but buyers should factor in rural utilities, construction works and site-specific constraints before exchange.
