Paunt House Barn * This attractive and well-constructed traditional barn is probably of Victorian origin. The barn is clear, tidy and is in good order. A full structural report was conducted in June 2023 and reports the barn to be in sound order and suitable for conversion.
* This large barn occupies an elevated position and overlooks the paddock which borders the building curtilage.
* Planning consent provides for 4 generous ensuite bedrooms, 2 each to ground and first floor. An open plan kitchen and living area fills the remaining ground floor area. To the rear of the property will be a single storey entrance lobby and utility room.
* There is the opportunity to install a mezzanine floor above the kitchen to create additional living/reception space.
* A new entrance drive across the paddock is planned which will create an amenity and residential curtilage area of 0.67 acres, including the pond area.
* The adjoining pastureland is about 5¾ Acres in one ring fenced field.
Conversion Practicalities * Utility supplies will need to be connected. There is a modern mains water supply connected and a quotation provided for mains electricity connection (c.£6,250). A new drainage treatment plant will need to be installed, as will a suitable telecoms connection.
* The location of the new access drive is shown on the architects site plan, full details are available on the planning portal - https://publicaccess.fdean.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=S2YZU8HIG1L00
