Unconverted barn with planning permission, Market Drayton, Shropshire

Victorian barn boasting a wealth of original features, with detailed planning permission for a four / five bedroom property with flexible accommodation, set in almost half an acre of land near Market Drayton in Shropshire

A seldom found opportunity to purchase a single barn conversion in this popular area. This Victorian barn forms one half of a larger unit and has planning permission for conversion to a four / five bedroom family home.

Planning permission

Full planning permission has been granted for conversion to a four / five bedroom, four reception room dwelling.

Building regulation approvals received and fees paid.

The barn forms one half of a larger unit, which has already been converted, and offers spacious family accommodation of approximately 2700 sq ft (gross internal area).

The buildings date back over one hundred years and have retained many period features including original ceiling trusses and a central feeding passage with superb semi circular archways which in the past allowed stock to be fed from this passageway.

The current plans allow these features to be retained and incorporated into the build, allowing traditional architectural features to meld with contemporary design. In addition the current plans and permission provide for additional openings to be added, to allow for windows to several of the bedrooms.

Accommodation

The accommodation is spread over two floors and has the potential for four or five spacious bedrooms, two of which are en suite as well as a family bathroom.

On the ground floor are three or four reception rooms with a large kitchen / dining room, utility room and cloak room.

This flexible accommodation offers the potential for a ground floor bedroom should it be required.

Outside

The barn is set in a large plot with a private enclosed rear courtyard, side garden and extensive front garden which, when landscaped, will also incorporate the driveway.

The site as a whole totals 0.45 acre.
