Barn conversion

Originally part of the Stables at Browsholme Farm the property represents an excellent opportunity for conversion and redevelopment in this popular location on the edge of Cottingham.  The site comprises the original 2 storey  Stable Block and adjoining single-storey ranges of brick and timber stables arranged around a concrete yard together with an area of land to the rear (the east).   In all the site extends to around 0.63 acres and is accessed from ‘Westmorland Garth’ on the adjoining ‘Charles Church’ development. 

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT

The property is allocated under Policy COT-A for residential development in the East Riding Local Plan.  Pre Application advice has been obtained from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council which supports conversion of the Stable Block to 4 dwellings together with a  further 2 new build dwellings to the rear (the east).  The indicative drawings (for illustration purposes only) show a sympathetic small scale development with a mix of single and 2 storey dwellings converted from the existing Stable buildings with access from Westmorland Garth.  To the rear (the east) a further 2 dwellings are shown as ‘new builds’ with access from a private drive.  

Alternatively in the Agent’s opinion, the property could be sensitively redeveloped, subject to the necessary planning consents, to create a single bespoke ‘dream home’.  

Please note that no planning application has been submitted to ERYC and the property is offered to the market with the benefit of the existing  COT-A allocation and a positive pre-application enquiry response.  A copy of the Pre Application response together with supporting drawings (for illustration purposes only) are included in the Pack.
