***BEST AND FINAL OFFERS BY 11TH DECEMBER 2026***
An exciting rural development opportunity comprising a substantial collection of former agricultural buildings together with approximately 4.40 acres of land, offering potential for residential conversion subject to the necessary planning and statutory approvals.
Occupying an attractive position on the edge of West Haddlesey, the property enjoys a particularly appealing rural setting, with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and a canal forming part of the wider landscape.
Foreword - The site comprises a varied collection of existing agricultural buildings, together with extensive areas of grassland, established vegetation and associated land. The buildings provide an interesting opportunity for a purchaser to explore their potential for residential conversion, with Class Q permitted development identified as the principal potential planning route, subject to the buildings and proposed scheme satisfying the relevant statutory requirements and securing the necessary prior approval.
The combination of the existing buildings, extensive land and attractive rural setting makes this an unusual and potentially exciting opportunity for developers, investors or purchasers looking for a property with future residential development potential.
Development Potential - Given the existing agricultural buildings and their established use, the principal development opportunity identified at this stage is the potential for residential conversion under Class Q permitted development rights, subject to the individual buildings and proposed development satisfying the applicable statutory requirements and the necessary prior approval process.
The owners have commissioned preliminary professional advice from a planning consultant, architect and structural surveyor, and the information available indicates that the existing buildings warrant further consideration in respect of their potential residential conversion. Supporting reports and professional advice will be made available to interested parties.
No representation is made that Class Q rights are available or that any particular number, size or configuration of residential units will ultimately be achievable. Any proposed conversion will remain subject to the relevant legislation, the characteristics and qualifying status of the individual buildings, the extent of works proposed and the determination of the Local Planning Authority through the appropriate process.
Prospective purchasers are therefore advised to undertake their own planning investigations and obtain independent professional advice before submitting an offer.

Other Infomation - The selling agents are informed that no previous planning application or Class Q prior approval application for residential conversion has been submitted in respect of the buildings.
Any scheme, plans, layouts, elevations, CGI images or other material prepared by the architect or other professional advisers and included within the sales particulars are provided for illustrative purposes only.

Overage - The land situated towards the northern boundary of the barns, as identified within the blue-lined area on the enclosed plan, is being included within the sale and subject to an overage provision. The overage will become payable in the event that planning permission or other planning consent is obtained which permits the implementation of one or more residential dwelling houses upon the relevant overage land. Please note that the area edged blue is not to scale and for identification purposes only at this stage.
Upon the occurrence of the overage trigger, the Vendor will be entitled to receive 25% of the increase in the value of the relevant land attributable to the grant of such residential planning consent, calculated by reference to the value of the land in its existing use as pasture land immediately prior to the relevant planning consent.
The overage provision will remain in force for a period of 35 years from the date of completion of the sale. The precise terms, definitions, valuation methodology, trigger events, payment provisions, enforcement mechanisms and other matters relating to the overage will be set out within the legal documentation and will be confirmed by the Vendor's solicitors prior to exchange of contracts.
