Lot E, Kelmscott, Lechlade, Oxfordshire, GL7 3HD

Plot E comprises two single storey period  stone barns along with a large steel frame general purpose barn,  situated within a cluster of period properties including a Georgian farmhouse.

The site is within Kelmscott Conservation Area and lies on the edge of the village.

Locally based architects have prepared an indicative scheme for a residential conversion suggesting the period barns could provide three 2 bedroom cottages together with a possible replacement dwelling in lieu of demolishing the general purpose barn, in all potentially extending to approximately 5,700 sq ft. (See attached floor plan)

These barns are to be sold without planning but with strong potential for a new owner to secure a planning consent permitting a residential conversion - supported by Pre-Ap advice provided by West Oxfordshire District Council noting that the advice was more positive for residential conversion of the wider barns than for employment or holiday use.  (Please contact the marketing agent for a copy of the advice).

Note: Our vendors previously sold a Cotswold barn located on their property and 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 buildings have a residential planning consent, the payment under which is assessed as being 30% of the difference between the market value of the current barns 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
