A rare development-ready parcel on the edge of Thirn with planning permission to convert a former agricultural barn into a striking contemporary home of around 2,500 sq ft. Permission (Decision No ZB25/00853/MBN) was granted by North Yorkshire Council for change of use, access, parking for up to three cars and landscaped gardens — removing a major planning hurdle for a buyer seeking a near-immediate build project.
The site extends to about 1.22 acres, backing onto open countryside with long views to the north and east. The approved design makes the most of natural light with full-height picture windows, a large kitchen-dining-living space, a principal first-floor suite, four further en-suite bedrooms and useful study/store space — offering clear appeal to buyers after a high-spec family home or a premium rental product.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the building is a former agricultural structure so significant conversion work is required to create the finished home. The access track is shared with two other owners and a maintenance agreement will be drawn up; boundaries are noted as subject to change. Services and connectivity are average, and council tax is currently unknown.
This plot suits a developer, investor or purchaser wanting a high-spec rural dwelling with planning already in place. For those comfortable managing a conversion and shared-access arrangements, the location and generous plot provide strong upside and scope to deliver a distinctive countryside home.
