This property is a barn conversion opportunity located in Brill, Oxfordshire, with planning permission for a substantial residential dwelling. The barn itself is currently in a dilapidated condition, requiring extensive refurbishment or a complete rebuild to create the proposed 3,500 sq ft home. The property includes two acres of land, with the possibility of acquiring more land through separate negotiation. This presents significant potential for a large family home in a quiet rural location.

The location offers a degree of seclusion but is within a reasonable distance of towns offering better access to amenities and transport links such as Bicester Village and Bicester North train stations. There are also several well-regarded primary schools nearby, albeit not within walking distance.

The current condition of the barn is poor, requiring significant investment. The cost of conversion to the proposed dwelling should be factored into the overall value assessment. The photos display a building which needs considerable work. Given the size of the plot and the potential for the completed development, the list price of £550,000 appears to be within the expected range for similar sized projects in the area. However, prospective buyers must be prepared for substantial renovation costs. The lack of immediate garden space should also be noted.

Potential buyers should carefully consider the cost of the conversion, planning permissions and the long-term commitment involved before making an offer. The availability of additional land adds to the appeal but requires separate negotiation and consideration of the overall cost. The absence of a garden should be factored into the final decision. Detailed surveys and professional consultations are advised before committing to purchase.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
