Property description
An extremely rare barn with planning consent for conversion, standing in almost two acres with south facing views to the River Soar.
Proposed Accommodation
Planning Consent has been granted for conversion of the existing semi-derelict barn to a generous three bedroom dwelling. The proposed horse shoe shaped barn wraps around a central west facing courtyard and offers sprawling single storey accommodation and all the qualities you would expect with a barn conversion. Tall vaulted ceilings and large open plan living space make this the ideal opportunity for those looking to create their dream home. Situated close to its northern boundary the property is elevated and enjoys uninterrupted views over its gently sloping paddock that extends to almost two acres and the River Soar beyond. The proposed layout features a large central dining kitchen with two roof lights and bi-folding doors that open into the courtyard. Off the kitchen, double doors open into a double height sitting room with stunning south facing views towards the river. There are three double bedrooms, two having en suite shower rooms and large family bathroom. Outside there is ample car standing and a large outbuilding.
Agent's Note
The majority of the plot is classed as open paddock with a small area of garden land located along the north and east elevations
