Unconverted barn with 10 acres of land near Barnard Castle, Teesdale
A smallholding with 10 acres of land and an L-shaped barn with a new roof close to the towns of Bishop Auckland and Barnard Castle. The barn has no planning permission at present but offers a multitude of options for a rural lifestyle
This is a unique opportunity to buy a 10 acre smallholding in an idyllic setting in Teesdale with a multitude of options for a rural lifestyle, including equestrian.
The land
Approximately 10 acres of flat pasture; the southern border is adjacent to a quiet B road.
The buildings
An L shaped byre, stone built in good condition with the benefit of a new tiled roof. This building would be an easy conversion into a two bed dormer bungalow. Plans are available.
There is also a large steel built shed approximately 50' x 25' suitable for multiple uses.
Services
Electricity and water are available at the B roadside.
History
An application for change of use to residential was made to the local authority under permitted development rules but was declined. Due to administration error on the part of my planning consultants the deadline for an appeal was missed.
I am convinced that if a new owner applied again permission would be granted even if it needed to go to appeal. The reason for this confidence is that the property complies with the rules regarding permitted development.
I would like to have done the work myself but age and ill health have caught up with me.
Location
The property is 4 miles from Bishop Auckland and 12 miles from Darlington and Barnard Castle.
Price
£95,000 with £145,000 pounds clawback when planning permission is granted.
