Property Description

Plot C is a period Cotswold stone barn situated within a small courtyard comprising a Georgian former farmhouse and a further Cotswold barn.

It's Grade II Listing describes the barn as "Dated  1750 with minor later alterations.  The central gabled cart entrance to hte south with opposing entrance to the rear has 9 tiers of pigeon nesting holes and ledges."

Locally based architects have prepared an indicative scheme for a residential conversion suggesting it could provide a 3 bedroom house with additional garaging and ancillary space which could extend to approximately 2,300 sq ft. (See attached floor plan)

The barn is to be sold without planning but with strong potential for a new owner to secure a planning consent permitting a residential conversion - which is supported by Pre-Ap advice provided by West Oxfordshire District Council. (Please contact the marketing agent for a copy of the advice).

Our vendors previously sold a third Cotswold barn on which the new owners subsequently secured planning for conversion to a 3 bed dwelling, planning ref: 23/01824/FUL and 23/01825/LBC. A neighbouring period barn at Home Farm has also recently secured planinng for conversion to a single dwelling, planning ref: 23/01363/FUL and 23/01364/LBC.

Please note there is an overage clause imposed by the Church Commissioners which would be triggered once the building has a residential planning consent, the payment under which is assessed as being 30% of the differnce between the market value of the current barn before and after the planning permission. (Please contact the selling agents for any further clarity on this point.)

There is mains power and water within close proximity of the site. Foul sewage would need to be by way of a new Sewage Treament Plant.
