Two buildings, six bedrooms and planning potential on a large plot near Bovingdon Green.
Detached barn conversion on a very large plot
A rare barn conversion set across two buildings on a sizeable plot close to Bovingdon Green. The main timber barn offers a large kitchen/sitting room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom; the brick former stables provide four double bedrooms each with its own external door and ensuite, currently arranged as an independent annexe. The site feels private and rural yet remains within walking distance of village amenities.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking rental income or development potential. There is clear scope — subject to planning — to create a separate 2–3 bedroom dwelling using part of the rear gravel area as a garden. The very large plot and former cart house/stables layout give practical space for subdivision, extra parking and outside storage.
Practical points to note: ceilings are low in parts of the timber barn and several rooms are compact. Broadband speeds are slow in this location. The rear gravelled parking area is generous but informal. Any conversion or new dwelling requires obtaining the necessary planning permissions and building works.
Overall this is a characterful, flexible property for an investor or buyer looking for a multi-unit home in a prosperous, low-crime rural setting. Its combination of independent suites, ample parking and development potential makes it a strong prospect, provided the purchaser budget allows for any adaptation and infrastructure improvements.
