3 Bed Detached House, Planning Permission, Towcester, NN12 7ND £850,000

The property’s true jewel, however, lies in its development potential. Planning permission is in place to convert the large detached barn, offering exciting scope for an annexe, studio, office, or additional living space. Permission also exists to build a separate three-bedroom detached home in the orchard – making this a superb investment opportunity or an ideal solution for multi-generational living. With no overage/uplift clause on the land, the full potential can be realised without restriction.

The barn currently has consent to be converted into a one-bedroom annexe with office space. Originally, permission was granted to convert and extend it into a three-bedroom home, which remains an option. This flexibility could provide excellent rental potential, particularly given Silverstone is less than five miles away. Both the barn conversion and the construction of the detached three-bedroom dwelling in the orchard formed part of a wider planning application that has already been implemented, meaning the permissions remain valid indefinitely.

Original planning from 2011 - S/2010/1556/FUL Updated planning which is currently in place, approved in 2023 - WNS/2021/2154/FUL
