Portway Barn

Description

Portway Barn offers the potential to create a stunning family home with far reaching views over the adjoining countryside to the hills beyond.

Consent was granted in July 2022 under the General Permitted Development Order 2015 Class Q to allow for the conversion of the existing agricultural barn in to a single dwelling with accommodation arranged over two floors.

The proposed accommodation will comprise an open plan sitting room, dining room and kitchen in an L-shaped configuration together with a separate reception room that could be used as a study or snug sitting room. Two of the four bedrooms are located on the ground floor with a bathroom and there is also a separate cloakroom and utility room.

On the first floor there are two further bedrooms, the master bedroom having an en suite shower room, a family bathroom and a balcony sitting area overlooking the reception space on the ground floor.

Subject to gaining the necessary consents the design and layout of the proposed dwelling could be altered to take in the wide ranging views. 

Outside

Portway Barn is set back from the road to Keevil along a private driveway and sits in a plot of approximately 1.17 acres. Part of the existing barn had been allocated as an under cover parking area with space for several vehicles.

The area surrounding the barn is currently used as an open storage area with a hard core base. It would allow space for the erection of stables or barns, again subject to any necessary consents being granted.

Additional land, as edged blue on the attached plan.

The vendors would consider selling the land edged blue to the purchasers of the barn. The area that runs alongside the driveway extends to approximately 0.5 acres and the parcel of land in front of the barn extends to approximately 3.95 acres. There is a degree of flexibility in the areas of land to be sold.

Location

Portway Barn is located between the very popular villages of Keevil and Great Hinton. Both villages offer thriving communities with a range of social activities and clubs. Keevil benefits from a primary school and church. Primary schools are available in West Ashton and Semington. The nearby towns of Trowbridge and Devizes both offer an excellent range of facilities and amenities including shopping, leisure and education. Both towns also provide a regular main line rail link to Bath, Bristol and London. Road links are excellent too with the A350 close by and the M4 accessed at Chippenham.

Services

Mains electricity has been brought onto the site but would need to be connected to the barn. If required an easement for a water supply will be granted by the vendors. Potential purchasers must rely on their own enquiries with regard to the location of any services and the making a connection into them.

Planning

Planning reference PL2022/03402. Copies of the plans and consent can be downloaded from the Wiltshire Council website.

Directions

Portway Barn will be found on the right hand side just before the village of Keevil when approaching from the Great Hinton direction.
