2 bed barn conversion for sale

The Cart Shed, Bockleton Road, Oldwood, Tenbury Wells WR15

A listed barn with planning permission to convert in to a stunning home, retaining much of its original structure and period detailing. If you ever fancied building your own property but not sure how to go about it then this could well be the property for you.

Introduction

The Cart Shed forms part of a larger complex of period barn conversions most of which have already been converted by the owner. Located in a wonderful rural position close to Tenbury Wells. The planning permission was granted originally in 2009 and as some of the barns have already been converted the planning permission is considered live and therefore there are no timescales to complete the remaining conversions.

Build Options

The property is for sale on a self build basis, where the purchaser will have the option of converting it themselves or engaging the services of a builder. This will reduce the stamp duty element as this is only paid on the purchase price of the barn (but remember that no stamp duty is payable on properties under £250,000 unless it is purchased as a second home) and provide an opportunity to claim back the VAT.

The anticipated build cost is in the region of £300,000 (subject to personal choices and alterations) with a final value expected to be in the region of £525,000 (based on comparable properties sold and for sale in May 2024). Prices and costs can go up and down and buyers should anticipate some contingencies may be necessary. The anticipated build time is approximately 12 months

For more information on how a self build scheme works please contact the agent but for financial clarification on the tax implications please seek the advice of an accountant.

The Accommodation

This barn will measure approximately 1600 sq. Ft. And comprise of a stunning sitting room with one wall fully glazed and a vaulted ceiling. There is a utility room, huge kitchen/dining room again with a partially vaulted ceiling and a double bedroom. There is a staircase leading to a half landing where there is a bathroom and the staircase splits in two, one leading to a mezzanine office/study or occasional guest bedroom and the other to a second double bedroom with ensuite bathroom.

The floor plan is indicative of what can be achieved with the space but the beauty of being the developer is that, within reason, the internal layout could be altered to suit and some flexibility on finish. The floor plan has been created from architects drawings as it is impossible to measure accurately at this time and the finished property may vary.

Outside

The property benefits from ample parking for 3 or 4 cars and to the rear is an enclosed garden which is of a good size.
