A BARN near Street is up for sale – and could be converted into a five-bedroom house.

Auctioneer Greenslade Taylor Hunt (GTH) is expecting strong demand for the plot – which comes with detailed planning permission to convert a barn into a home.

“This is an exceptional conversion opportunity in a rural location, with views over open countryside yet within close proximity to Street and Millfield School,” a GTH spokesperson said.

The plot, at Ivythorn Lane, near Street, extends to around 0.16 hectares (0.39 acres) and is on the market with a guide of offers in the region of £265,000.

“It is in a rural location within a short drive of Street and its amenities,” the spokesperson said.

“In November 2023, detailed planning consent was granted for the conversion of the barn into an attractive five-bedroom home together with a new build double garage and garden store.”

The approved property will have a gross internal floor area of approximately 241.76sqm (2,602sq ft).

The ground floor will feature an open-plan living, kitchen and dining room with vaulted ceiling, separate sitting room, utility/boot room, bathroom and four bedrooms – two ensuite. The first floor will be devoted to another ensuite bedroom.

Ahead of the deadline for offers, on Friday, January 24, people can view the site on Tuesday, January 7, and Tuesday, January 14, between 9am and 11am. The viewings must be pre-booked and are by appointment only.
