Description

Phoenix Barn represents an extremely rare and exciting development opportunity with planning consent to convert the existing barn into a single dwelling.

Ideally situated on the edge of the village close to its border with Woodhouse Eaves this substantial barn stands roughly in the centre of around 1.8 acres and is surrounded by farmland and rolling countryside. To the front of the land is a spinney of trees, lilacs, snowdrops, daffodills and bluebells bounded in part by a Swithland dry stone wall. The land is also surrounded by a variety of mature trees including Oak, Ash, Lime, Apple, Cherry and Horse Chestnut. A further vehicular access is located towards the centre of the plot on Main Street.

Available with NO CHAIN this stone barn is built of slate stone and lime mortar with internal structural blockwork walls and an Oak frame and graduated, slate roof.

Opportunities for development in Swithland are rarely available, and even rarer so in such a romantic and charming setting. The possibilities for this character property going forward are immense and will offer the buyer an opportunity to potentially develop into one of the most prestigious properties in the Village.

Planning Consent

Consent was granted on 02 August 2023 for the conversion of an existing agricultural barn into a single dwelling of around 4000 sq ft P/23/1023/2.



Ground Floor

As proposed, the ground floor accommodation is centered around a large reception hall with open staircase and doors to rear garden. Two reception rooms are complemented by a large family kitchen with triple aspect and external doors enjoy a westerly aspect. A utility room and cloaks/WC complete the ground floor accommodation.



First Floor

The proposed first floor accommodation features six bedroom and separate family bathroom. Bedroom one is entered through a dressing room and features a large ensuite bathroom. Four further bedrooms also have their own ensuite.
