Set within the quiet Olchon Valley, this Dutch barn benefits from full planning permission (Herefordshire Council reference 242765) to form a detached four-bedroom home of approximately 180 sqm with about 0.4 acres of garden. The site offers tranquil rural views, fast broadband, very low crime and no flood risk — attractive practical strengths for a family or countryside purchaser.
The approved scheme results from removing the barn’s central roof section to create two detached properties; this listing describes the unit envisaged as a circa 180 sqm, four-bed home with an open-plan living area, first-floor home office, utility, cloakroom, family bathroom and a master ensuite. The location is remote and scenic, around one mile on foot from Longtown village with its shop, inn and primary school, and with Offa’s Dyke and extensive walking nearby.
Buyers should be clear this is an unconverted barn sold with planning permission rather than a finished house. Significant works and build costs remain, plus any statutory obligations and site servicing (drainage, connections, access) to complete the conversion. The acreage and precise boundaries should be verified by your solicitor, and several catalogue images are computer-generated impressions rather than photographs of a completed home.
For the right buyer — a family seeking a permanent rural home or a developer looking for a straightforward conversion project — the site offers strong potential: substantial internal space once converted, an attractive plot size, and a peaceful setting with good connectivity to market towns within 20–25 miles.
