Description
The site is situated along Main Street in the centre of the village and is bordered by post and rail fencing. It includes a number of mature trees, a range of brick and stone buildings, one of which is approved to be demolished as part of the planning permission to provide access to the site.
There is an extant planning permission on the site for the construction of a dwelling by virtue of a Certificate of Lawfulness (existing) (DA/2014/0011), granted by Daventry District Council on 20th February 2014, which confirms that planning permission DA/80/213 for the proposed dwelling, approved on the 23rd April 1980, was commenced within the required commencement period of the permission as a result of material operations undertaken by the vendor.
The adopted Ashby St Ledgers Conservation Area Appraisal refers to this building as follows: -
“There is an extant planning permission for demolition of the barn and the construction of a dwelling on the site. Should the planning permission for the dwelling not be implemented a separate planning application solely to demolish the barn will be required. The barn has the potential to enhance this part of the conservation area and should any alternative development opportunities for the site come forward in the future the following should be taken into account: the contribution of the barn to views along Main Street, its contribution to the rural character of the conservation area and how it reflects the village’s agricultural past, the contribution it makes to the setting of the listed building which stands opposite”.

Notwithstanding the approval for the demolition of this building under planning permission DA/80/213, in the event that changes to the extant planning permission were to be sought, any purchaser should be aware of the above comments about this building in any negotiations with the local planning authority.
According to the original planning permission DA/80/213 the detached four bedroom dwelling extends over two storeys and includes a hallway which leads to the drawing room, living room and kitchen. The connected garage can be accessed through the utility room adjacent to the kitchen. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, the master having an en suite and a family bathroom.
The size of the approved dwelling is estimated to extend to approximately 3,650 sq.ft, with the site extending to approximately 0.71 acres or thereabouts.
