Agents Introduction
Opportunities such as this do not come along very often! This attractive barn constructed of traditional stone has been granted full planning consent for a conversion into a three bedroom property.

Subject to the necessary planning consent the property could also be used as a holiday let.

Situated on Pen Doycae Farm, the current owner has drawn up ambitious plans to re-design and convert the once agricultural barns sited on the land. With one barn recently being sold, Upper Barn is now available for sale and will offer fabulous and spacious accommodation.

From the main farm roadway a separate newly laid, easily accessible track brings vehicles to the rear of the barn where parking can easily be created. To the side a block built wood store can be found, which is a useful space for storage or, subject to the necessary planning consent, could be converted to a garage. The land available with this barn extends to approximately 5.7 acres which comprises of gently sloping pasture land and mature woodland.
