A substantial roadside barn with clear conversion potential, offered freehold with separate road access. The principal building measures approximately 74m x 6.05m (447.7 sq m / 4,810 sq ft overall site) and sits within a very large rural plot between Earls Colne and Halstead, just off the A1124. The lot is presented as a development opportunity under Class Q permitted development, giving a recognised route to change agricultural buildings to dwellings subject to prior approval.
This lot will suit developers, builders or investors seeking a countryside conversion project: the setting is in a very affluent, low-crime rural area with fast broadband and average mobile signal. There are multiple nearby primary and secondary schools (several rated Good) and convenient road links. There is no flood risk recorded for the site.
Important practical points: Class Q prior approval is required and is not guaranteed — prospective purchasers must satisfy the prior approval tests (highways, noise, contamination, design, etc.). The barns and outbuildings will require surveys and likely substantial renovation and conversion works; costs for structure, services, insulation and internal fit-out should be budgeted. This is a speculative development plot rather than a move-in property.
