Plot

An interesting residential development opportunity comprising two substantial stone built farm buildings with full planning consent for conversion to form two dwellings.

The barns benefit from an attractive rural setting overlooking open farmland yet with convenient access to the major business centres of Leeds and Bradford.

Oak Farm Barns are accessed from Scotland Lane via an existing private lane providing a sense of rural isolation.

Despite the rural setting, Oak Farm Barns are located within a short drive of Horsforth and Cookridge, both popular and sought after conurbations with a good range of amenities and public transport links. Oaks Farm Barns are also very close (1 mile) to Leeds Bradford Airport.

Unit 1: A stone built former mistal with planning consent to create a four bedroomed property over two floors with proposed accommodation comprising:

Ground Floor: Entrance Boot Room/Utility; Family Bathroom; Large Lounge; Dining Room; Four Double Bedrooms, three with En-Suite Bathrooms.

Lower Ground Floor: Open Plan Dining/Kitchen with double bi-fold doors looking out onto open countryside.

Total approx. Gross Internal Floor Area: 220 sq metres (2, 376 sq feet).

Unit 2: A former general purpose agricultural building with traditional arched cart doorways and timber roof trusses with planning consent to create a three bedroomed property over two floors with proposed accommodation comprising:

Ground Floor: Utility & WC; Kitchen; Large Galleried Hallway and Dining Room; Spacious Lounge and Living Area; Office or Snug.

First Floor: Feature Staircase leading to a Galleried Landing; Spacious Master Suite with Dressing Room and En-Suite; Family Bathroom; Two further Bedrooms, one with En-Suite.

Total approx. Gross Internal Floor Area: 222 (2,388 sq feet).

PLANNING

Full planning permission has been approved by Leeds City Council - Decision No 23/05115/FU dated 9 November 2023.

TENURE

We understand the property is held freehold with vacant possession available upon completion.

SERVICES

None of the services have been tested and we cannot comment on availability or capacity. Purchasers must make their own enquiries of the relevant service providers as part of the development process.

The Vendors would like to make any potential purchasers aware that as part of the development the gas and electrical meters and equipment will require relocating from Unit 2 into the Vendor’s retained property known as Oaks Farmhouse which directly adjoins Unit 2. The foul waste from Oaks Farmhouse currently discharges to a sewer which then runs underneath Unit 2 to a manhole to the east and then onto a mains sewer.

The Vendors are happy to collaborate with the purchaser in order to deal with the necessary service alterations.

WAYLEAVES, EASEMENTS & RIGHTS OF WAY

The property is sold subject to all wayleaves, easements and rights of way, both public and private, which may affect or benefit the property for the purposes of development.
