DESCRIPTION
A rare opportunity to acquire a barn with planning permission applied for conversion to an additional residential property. Built in c1780, the building was formerly the original barns to the main house and as such there is a nod throughout the structure to its origins. Surrounded by open countryside, within An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is an idyllic rural location and the barn itself is positioned within grounds made up of a formal garden and a separate paddock. The proposed plans allow for a two-storey home at circa 3,700 Sq Ft, with considerable accommodation to include a magnificent open plan kitchen, dining room and cinema room and a formal drawing room. These rooms are vaulted with large elm beams. There are four/five bedrooms (three with en suites), a family bathroom, study and a large hobby room. The sensitivity to the original building has been retained throughout the plans with a contemporary, design-led finish to volume, space and light.
In all, a fine and rare chance to create the most beautiful dwelling in a picturesque rural landscape.
OUTSIDE
The barn is at the end of the mile-long Sandy Pluck Lane, with its small collection of detached cottages and houses, set in farmland. The proposed plans allow for garaging and off-road parking, with the garden and paddock set to the rear and side.
SITUATION
Situated on a pretty and quiet lane off Shurdington Road, close to reputable Leckhampton and the easy day to day shopping on Bath Road. This ideal location provides the perfect balance of country living with convenience and whilst distinctively semi-rural, is extremely close to Cheltenham. A cultural centre, the town is well known for its lively café and restaurant culture, festivals, excellent shopping and particularly, its exceptional schools. The Barn is within easy access to motorway links including the M5 and A417 Cirencester, Swindon and the M4. There are regular trains to London and other major cities from Cheltenham Spa train station a short commute in addition to a regular bus service at the end of the lane.
