A rare self‑build opportunity in a semi‑rural hamlet: The Cart Shed is a period barn with planning permission considered live, offering about 1,600 sq ft of internal space and many original features to retain. The conversion layout indicates a dramatic vaulted sitting room, large open‑plan kitchen/diner, utility, mezzanine study/occasional bedroom and two double bedrooms with two bathrooms. The site includes off‑street parking for three to four cars and an enclosed rear garden.
Practical services are in place — mains water and electricity, private communal treatment plant drainage, an electric heat pump and underfloor heating — which reduce some build start barriers. The barn is freehold but sits within the curtilage of a listed building, so certain planning restrictions apply (these have been satisfied for the existing permission). The current asking price is £100,000 with an anticipated conversion cost quoted around £300,000 and an estimated post‑build value of c. £525,000 (figures provided for guidance only).
This is a true renovation project: the structure requires completion and internal finishes, and the property is being sold as a self‑build scheme. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, reflecting the remoter agricultural setting — important factors if you work from home. Buyers should allow for contingencies on cost and time; the build time has been suggested at around 12 months but will vary by contractor and specification.
This will suit a buyer wanting character, space and control over finish — someone happy to manage a conversion or commission work. It is less suitable for those seeking immediate move‑in readiness, fast internet connectivity or an urban location.
