Overview

*** STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY ***

Windrush Farm Barn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial rural property with considerable potential for residential redevelopment.

Set within a peaceful and tranquil environment, the property forms part of a small and established community of neighbouring properties, whilst enjoying an exceptional sense of openness and privacy.

Favourable pre-application advice has been received in relation to the creation of two residential dwellings, presenting an exciting opportunity for a developer, investor or private purchaser seeking a scheme with clear residential potential.

The site could also lend itself particularly well to the creation of a single substantial dwelling, with the scale and character of the existing building providing scope for an individual home incorporating generous ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property's position is a particular attraction. Set away from the main road network and surrounded by open countryside, Windrush Farm Barn enjoys a peaceful rural atmosphere and impressive far-reaching views extending across the surrounding landscape towards the nearby estate. The outlook provides a superb backdrop and gives the site an unusually strong sense of place.

The existing setting, together with the relationship between the barn and the neighbouring properties, creates the feel of a small rural community rather than an isolated development site. This combination of tranquillity, attractive surroundings and proximity to established residential properties makes the opportunity particularly interesting for those looking to create a bespoke country residence or a small collection of high-quality homes.

Development Opportunity:

The favourable pre-application position for two residential dwellings provides a valuable starting point for the future development of the site, although prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with the relevant planning authority regarding the current position and any future proposals. Alternatively, the property could appeal to a private purchaser looking to create one substantial country home.

The site offers the potential to develop a generous principal residence with extensive ancillary accommodation, subject to planning, providing an opportunity to create a highly individual home tailored to modern family living. The property's rural setting, views and existing community context provide a strong foundation for a sensitively designed scheme that makes the most of its surroundings.

Development Potential: Favourable pre-application advice for two residential dwellings

Alternative Use: Potential for a single substantial residence with ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents

Access: Private driveway may be available by separate discussion.

Planning: Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries with the relevant planning authority in respect of the pre-application position, development proposals and any necessary consents.

Viewings: Strictly by appointment through the vendor's selling agents.

Important Information

The favourable pre-application position should not be regarded as planning permission. Purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the planning status of the property, the scope of any proposed development, access arrangements, services and all other matters relating to the future use and development of the site.

This property has 1.68 acres of land.
