The Property
3/4 BEDROOM SURREY BARN CONVERSION - PERMISSION GRANTED

Presenting a detached Grade II listed oak-framed Crown barn with approved planning permission for a 3/4 bedroom family home on a Private Lane in Surrey. Conveniently located near to Gatwick Airport, London Link Train stations, M23, M25, A24 and local amenities plus many Schools both Independent and State.

The barn itself is a rare and unique find—an Oak-framed Crown barn—one of only 45 believed to remain in all of England. Dating back to around 1517, the property was originally the first structure built as part of a Dairy Farm.

Originally a three-bay barn, it was later expanded to encompass five bays, complete with an upper mezzanine level and lower rooms. This type of barn is renowned for it's impressive height and exposed beams, the main defining feature and captivating conversation piece, once restored.

The existing planning permission allows for the transformation of this structure into a spacious family residence spanning just over 2500 square feet. The property boasts a sunny orientation, with gardens enveloping three sides and ample parking provisions.

As you drive up the private lane you are greeted by a picturesque scene with stunning post-and-rail fencing adorned with English laurels, charming barn gates, vintage rose bushes, and an abundance of parking to the front. Venture a bit further past the barn, and you'll discover a meticulously crafted private entrance fitted with electric gates, a video intercom, and comprehensive CCTV coverage.

The barn has six neighbouring properties who also share the private lane and are a mix of completed Barn Conversions and A Grade Listed Farm House with their own grounds/gardens.
