An architecturally pleasing traditional barn with planning for conversion to a residential dwelling, in a 0.63 acre garden plot, in an attractive rural setting between Oundle & Huntingdon

Description
A fabulous opportunity to acquire an architecturally pleasing agricultural threshing barn with planning and change of use consents for conversion to a residential dwelling, within a garden plot of circa 0.63 of an acre.

A traditional building in appearance, the Welsh green oak constructed barn actually dates from as recently as the year 2000, when it was constructed by a group of highly skilled craftsmen, some of whom had recently been involved in the restoration of Windsor Castle following its fire, in 1992.

The oak structure is secured with traditional tapered oak pegs and is covered by a peg tiled roof with beautifully seasoned larch exterior cladding. Internally there is an attractive central herringbone brick floor, flanked by raised timber floors, with an oak staircase rising to a large mezzanine first floor.

The planning permission, granted by Huntingdonshire District Council, dated August 2023 (ref: 23/01104/P3JPA) permits the change of use of the light industrial building to residential, and its conversion to a four bedroom home, with contemporary open plan living; striking south facing glass front elevation, and bedrooms at both ground and first floor levels.

Location
The property occupies a stunning rural setting at the end of a lane that serves one cottage and one farmhouse, in addition to this site, past which a public footpath allows for scenic rural walks.

The property is 9 miles from Huntingdon (London Kings Cross from 50 mins) and Kimbolton, with its renown school, and 11 from the Georgian market town of Oundle, with Cambridge, Wellingborough, Oakham and Stamford within a 29 mile radius.
