Traditional Barns with Planning 
Attached to the Granary and opposite the Granary and Stables, making up the other half of the courtyard are the two traditional barns, one fully enclosed and one open fronted. The original three barns including the now built out Granary and Stables, and "Unit1" barns were originally granted permission to be converted under planning reference M/4566 dated 7th September 2000. An additional consent was achieved to convert the fourth barn "Unit 4"to residential under the same scheme in June 2003 under planning reference M08237.

The approved elevations & floorplans of the dwellings are set out in this brochure. Unit 1 is set over two floors comprising an entrance hallway, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility room and shower room. The first-floor accommodation includes four double bedrooms all fitted with ensuite bathrooms. Unit 4 comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen, family bathroom and three double bedrooms. Unit 4 also benefits from an attached garage.

The permission provides a rare opportunity to secure a property which can benefit from two additional residential dwellings in a highly attractive open countryside location.
