An exciting rural development opportunity to convert this substantial former farm building into two attached dwellings or possibly one large dwelling.

The barn is a former farmbuilding used for housing livestock. It is of concrete portal frame construction, measures about 31.5m x 12.5m (giving a total floor area of just under 400 sq metres) and sits within the former farmyard area to Mill Farm. It is approached off Radfall Road over a shared road access with a dedicated entrance gate and driveway to the barn and its land.

The barn enjoys a very pleasant outlook over the adjoining land with the additional land beyond.

Close to the barn is a large stable building with internal stables. This may have to be removed as part of the future development.
