Introduction
Barston Farm Barn comprises an extensive brick and part half timbered traditional Warwickshire threshing barn with attached, mainly single storey former cow pens, stable and storage buildings dating back 200/250 years. The barn has the benefit of planning permission for a change of use from an agricultural building to residential, under the Town & Country Planning
(GPD) Order 2015 schedule 2 Part 3. Planning Application No: PL/2019/02680/PNCUDW from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council dated 14th January 2020. Subject to certain conditions, full details are available on the Solihull MBC website. An added benefit is that the property is located within a plot extending to approximately 1.00 Acre (0.44 ha) part of which is permanent pasture and ideal for the Equestrian enthusiast.
The approval gives the purchaser the opportunity to develop one of the last remaining, large unconverted Warwickshire threshing barns in the area into a substantial residential property extending to approximately 2274.84 sq ft (211.34m sq) GIA. Set in a very rural location, yet having easy access to Birmingham City Centre some 9 miles North West, Coventry 7 miles East, Solihull 3 miles North West and Knowle 1 1/2 miles to the West. The National Motorway Network M6, M40 and M42 junctions 5 & 6 are within easy reach. Birmingham International Airport and the proposed HS2 Interchange Terminal are but a few miles drive away. A good range of services are available locally in Solihull, Knowle and, Balsall Common.

The barn is approached off Hob lane via a separate gated access and is set well back from the lane. It has permission to be converted to a, part two storey, 3 bedroom residential dwelling of approximately 2274.84 sq ft (211.34m sq m) GIA. Although the final interior layout is yet to be decided. The following accommodation is proposed:- Ground Floor, entrance hall with WC and cloaks, open plan living/ family/dining room, with stairs off, kitchen, utility, store, games room and further storage. The first floor provides for the three double bedrooms, all of which have en-suites.
The land to the north and west is permanent pasture, ideal as a Horse/pony paddock. Within the field there is a pond that could be further developed to become a particular feature of the property. Between the lane and the barn is a wide grassed area with Willow, Oak, Horse Chestnut and Cherry trees which all add to the secluded and private 'feel' of the property.
