The Property

Overview
The whole property is set within about 3 acres and access is provided via a right of way down a farm track.

Barn A is an existing agricultural building of about 3,250 sq ft with permission to convert into a high quality private dwelling under ref 25/00348/FUL, of 3 large double bedrooms, with a larger kitchen, dining room and 3 receptions rooms as well a courtyard parking area.
