Class Q barn with 1.75 acres, stunning rural views and option for more land.
Full Class Q prior approval for five-bedroom conversion (P250877/PA4)
Set off a private no-through lane in north Herefordshire, this substantial detached agricultural barn brings a rare Class Q prior approval (ref P250877/PA4) to convert to a five-bedroom home. The approved scheme shows generous open-plan living, separate lounge, home cinema, gym and three en-suites — a strong starting point for buyers wanting a bespoke rural residence or a developer seeking a conversion project with clear consent in place.
The site extends to about 1.75 acres of immediate paddock with sweeping countryside views, and there is an option to buy a further 4 acres for larger equestrian or agricultural use. Mains electricity is on site and mains water is nearby; drainage will require a private solution to be approved by the council. Mobile signal and broadband are reported excellent and fast, useful for those working remotely.
Buyers should be clear this is a conversion opportunity rather than a ready-made home. The barn is agricultural in character (steel-clad, metal roof, concrete yard) and will require comprehensive refurbishment to meet residential standards, including installation of services, internal fit-out and external landscaping. The sale is subject to existing easements, wayleaves and rights of way, and purchasers must satisfy themselves on these matters.
In short, the property suits buyers seeking a sizeable rural plot and an architectural project with planning in place — either to create an individual family home with substantial outside space or to realise value through careful conversion. Its remoter setting, excellent connectivity and flexible land option make it particularly attractive for those wanting a quiet, countryside base with modern living potential.
