A rare development plot in the heart of Great Bardfield, offered with full planning consent for multiple large four-bedroom homes. The site includes a Grade II listed barn (approx. 4,400 sq ft) with consent to form two four‑bedroom houses, an office conversion to a four‑bedroom dwelling (approx. 2,000 sq ft) and a new-build 1,762 sq ft four‑bedroom plot. Field views and a very large plot create strong scope for attractive, marketable homes in a picturesque village setting.
This is a straightforward acquisition for a developer or investor comfortable working with listed buildings. The listed status preserves historic character but will bring additional listed-building consent requirements, specialist contractors, and potential costs during conversion. Planning permissions and two recent variation applications (driveway/access and retention of substation) are already recorded against the site, reducing some delivery risk.
Practical considerations include VAT (particulars reference £1,195,000 plus VAT) and an alternate price figure of £995,000 shown here; buyers should confirm current asking terms and title details (Title No. EX584482). Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent; flood risk is nil and local crime is low, supporting long-term saleability. School provision nearby is rated Good, and the surrounding area is affluent countryside with sympathetic residential conversions.
Suitable buyers are experienced developers or investors seeking a character-led, rural conversion project rather than a quick speculative build. Expect listed‑building liaison, potential higher build costs, and a procurement period for specialist trades, balanced by the rarity and size of the site and the strength of planning consents in place.
