The proposal at a glance
Orchard Barn has an interesting backstory. As the name suggests, the barn once stood on the site of an apple orchard but, during the Second World War, the land was re-purposed. The orchard was removed, and potatoes were planted as the national priority shifted - the nation needed to be fed and nourished and therefore the steel-frame barn was built to store the sought-after spuds.
Presently, Orchard Barn sits within a wildflower meadow and the setting exhibits 360-degree views across the far-reaching farmland, patchwork fields and a gorgeous valley.
Grand Designs Plans
The architect has previously designed properties that have been featured on the Channel 4 programme Grand Designs. For Orchard Barn, working drawings have been prepared for the construction of a show-stopping home which would feature a curved glass roof, open plan living, a spectacular central staircase, and a rooftop garden with terrace, together with a master bedroom with en suite and dressing room, three further double en suite bedrooms, a library and games room and a large office.
The energy-efficient property would also boast an array of solar PV panels within the garden, to ensure that the eco-home could be as close as possible to being carbon neutral.

Agent's note: We are advised by our client that the plot size is approximately an acre, but this would need to be verified by solicitors. An additional acre of garden is available, subject to negotiation.
