Description
An excellent opportunity to acquire a detached building standing in a quiet rural location, providing an interesting conversion opportunity. The building was originally constructed for military use during WW2 as part of the RAF Castle Camps airfield, but more recently has been used for general agricultural storage.
The four bay building is constructed of brick and concrete block elevations with internal brick walls under an asbestos sheet roof. The building measures 16 m x 8.6 m internally.
The property stands in a quiet rural location and is approached over a private concrete track leading to the barn with curtilage, concrete pad and a number of mature poplar trees, which enhance the amenity of the site. The plot extends in total to approx. 0.66 acres.
There are no services connected to the building.
Tenure
Freehold with vacant possession
Location
The barn stands in a quiet location just off a rural lane between the villages of Castle Camps and Helions Bumpstead.
The town of Haverhill (4 miles) provides an extensive range of facilities, with further shopping and leisure facilities available in the popular medieval market town of Saffron Walden (7.5 miles). The University City of Cambridge is approx. 20 miles to the north.
Lot Type
Residential
Planning
Prior approval for Class Q change of use of the building to a dwelling was granted by South Cambs. District Council on 29th March 2017 (Ref.S/0401/17/PA).
The approved scheme provides for conversion of the existing building to a 4 bedroom dwelling with a gross internal area of approx. 2,300 sq.ft. once completed.
