Description
The Barns at Barrowfield Farm form a small farmyard extending to 0.34 acres or thereabouts and provide a unique development opportunity in this semi-rural location between the villages of Fordham and Isleham. The property offers appeal to self-builders and developers.
The barns comprise a detached Nissen hut (15m x 5.35m) and an open fronted timber pole barn, with lean-to (15.6m x 7.7m).
Prior Approval for change of use to residential was granted by the East Cambridgeshire District Council on 18th November 2020 (ref: 20/00603/ARN). The approval allows the Nissen hut to be converted to a one-bedroom dwelling with open-plan living accommodation.
The generous plot allows for ample opportunity to create off-street parking and establish gardens whilst offering scope to enhance the development opportunity and design subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
Included within the sale is a 30-foot shipping container.
