• Rare opportunity to self-build a substantial family home
• Rural location
• Generously sized garden
• 4 acre paddock via separate negotiation

A truly exciting and rare opportunity to create your dream home in the country. Being sold is a standalone Dutch style barn with class Q planning permission for conversion and furthermore benefiting from a four acre paddock which adjoins the barn at the side and rear. The latter is an excellent field ideal for equestrian purposes and animal husbandry, enjoying a largely flat orientation and bordered by delightful surrounding countryside. The barn itself is extensive in size and once converted will offer a huge amount of living accommodation over two floors totalling well in excess of 3,000 square feet.

Please contact the agent to discuss the potential options of purchasing the land and barn separately.


The subject property enjoys ease of access from the A456 via a shared driveway which services this and two other properties.

The proposed conversion will feature a parking and turning area conveniently located to the front of the barn, whilst at the rear of the property will be a patio area with views of the grounds and countryside beyond.

Internally, the proposed layout will feature an extensive range of versatile accommodation which will offer substantial open-plan living space complimented by 4/5 bedrooms and multiple bathrooms across the two floors. There will be a separate study/snug/family room on the ground floor, along with a separate utility room and WC. The first floor master bedroom is designed to also incorporate a dressing room.

Upton entering the property via the main front door one will be greeted by an impressive reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor and doors leading to the living space, family kitchen area, study and ground floor guest bedroom suite. The extensive living room will flow nicely on to the rear grounds and will no doubt benefit from nice views across the field to nearby countryside. The living room is designed to be open plan on to the adjoining dining kitchen which in turn will provide access to a separate utility room nicely tucked away.

Nicely tucked away from the rest of the living space will be a cosy study also ideal as a family TV room or snug, and next door to that is a ground floor fifth bedroom great for guests as it comes complete with en suite shower room facilities. A downstairs cloakroom/WC off the hallway will also feature.

On the first floor will be four bedrooms, including an expansive master bedroom which has been designed to encompass en suite facilities and also a useful dressing area. Also on this floor will be the family bathroom. This upper floor will benefit from great views of the surrounding area, taking in rolling fields and wooded valleys.

The outside space will be a hugely important part of this property, as detached barns with multiple acres suitable for horses and livestock are a rare commodity. The adjoining field will appeal to those wishing to pursue this country lifestyle, especially with the close proximity of nearby bridleways and the Wyre Forest. The extensive grounds will also be great for purchasers simply wanting space around them and the seclusion that comes with it.
