** BARN WITH PP FOR CONVERSION ** 6.5 ACRES OF FARM LAND ** PRIVATE ACCESS ROAD ** SEVERAL LARGE OUTBUILDINGS ** POND ** EQUESTRIAN INTEREST ** Whitney's are delighted to bring to the market this rural small holding in Thornton that offers over 6 acres of grazing land, a stone barn to convert, a good degree of privacy, stunning rural views and so much more!
The barn had planning approved for a three bedroom property and a detached garage. The owners had begun to prepare the barn for conversion but due to ill-health they have decided to sell. Permission was approved for a static caravan to be placed on-site whilst the building work was carried out, and this is included in the sale. The caravan has two bedrooms and full gas central heating, along with a raised deck seating area enjoying the rural views.
There are several large farm buildings also included in the sale, the largest of which are 60' x 33' and another 42' x 15', plus a 'chicken shack'. The site offers great potential for a family to live self-sufficiently and the currently owners have already (at considerable expense) installed a water bore hole and filtration system, electric solar panels, a large watering hole/pond, fruit trees, chicken coops, cattle barn, access road and several water supplies located at different points across the site.
Likewise, the plot could also lend itself to further development, subject to the required planning consents. The site is fully enclosed with stonewall boundaries and benefits from mains sewerage plus a private access drive from Upper Heights Road. A highly desirable proposition with stunning rural views and obvious potential. Arrange your viewing before it's too late!
