Offer are invited in excess of £600,000 subject to contract. We are advised that NO VAT is payable on the purchase price.

Planning

The immediate previous use of the Long Barn and the Stable Block was as an Auction Room with associated storage and administration space respectively.

Planning application N/05/00066/FUL was granted on 9th March 2005 for "conversion of farm buildings to B1 Use" . The application included the units now known as The Long Barn and The Stable Block. The Hay Barn does not appear to have any commercial planning consent, though is included within the Business Rates assessment for the site.

Prior to that, planning consent 18/07062/FUL and 15/08293/FUL (both now expired), were granted for the Change of Use of the Long Barn into 2 dwellings. We believe there may be scope to obtain a new change of use consent and/ or undertake new develpment on the site. We recommend that interested parties make their own planning enquiries direct to Wiltshire Council, County Hall, Bythesea Road, Trowbridge, BA14 8JN Tel - 0300 456 0100
