This property presents a unique opportunity for someone seeking a renovation project in a desirable rural setting. Located in the village of East Harptree, Somerset, the barn benefits from planning permission for conversion into a two-bedroom dwelling. The property sits on a 0.22-acre plot, offering ample space. However, it’s crucial to note the property’s current condition. Photos reveal significant structural damage, including a dilapidated roof and general disrepair. The property requires substantial renovation before it can be occupied. The proximity to several primary schools within a reasonable driving distance could make this property appealing to families. However, potential buyers need to be prepared to invest significantly in renovation. The lack of available information regarding precise square footage and the absence of details on nearby transportation facilities restrict a more comprehensive assessment. Further research into potential build costs, considering the property’s condition and local material prices, is essential to evaluate the true cost and feasibility of this project. The absence of bathrooms and bedrooms, only relevant if construction is completed according to plan, should be noted. The list price of £250,000 considers the land value and planning permission but does not factor in the substantial costs of the renovation. The nearby property prices, while indicative of the high value of housing in the area, do not provide a direct comparison due to the differing property types. It is recommended that a full structural survey be undertaken to determine the precise level of renovation costs and to asses the potential structural issues which may affect the cost.

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