Grade II Listed.Approx. 3000 sq. ft. internal floor area (T.B.C)The following information may be helpful:Background:The property belonged to an architect from Gloucestershire. He bought it in 2002 and intended to renovate and convert it over a long period and eventually retire and live in it.Unfortunately, he died before he was able to complete the project and his widow (our client) does not want to live in it.We have limited information about the progress of the conversion, because our client wasn't involved in the project.Method of sale:After a period of marketing, where we will allow access during block viewings, we will advertise a tender date. (September 6th) Prospective buyers will be invited to submit their informal tender bids – subject to contract, along with proof of funding. We would expect prospective buyers to carry out their own due diligence during this time, including any surveys etc.The successful bidder will be expected to exchange contracts within four weeks and complete within six weeks from the tender date.Our client will not be obliged to accept the highest, or indeed any offer.Planning:Planning permission and Listed Building Consent were originally granted in 2002 The ref. numbers are SW2001/1955/F and SW2001/1954/LPlease note that the barn “as built” differs from the original approved plans in the 2002 sales particulars, (there are an additional three mezzanine rooms and some fenestration that does not appear on the elevation drawings) so it is possible that retrospective Planning and Listed Building Consent will be required.Our client's solicitors have made enquiries with the Local Planning Authority and the most recent Planning Permissions or Building Regulations Completion Certificate could not be located, which is likely due to the age of the documents. It is apparent that there were some further negotiations regarding the plans in 2002, but nothing else can be found in this regard.Therefore it is proposed that an indemnity insurance policy, to be put in place upon completion will be offered to any prospective buyers.All the planning drawings and a draft indemnity policy are available from the agents.Mortgage security:We doubt that the current building will be suitable security for a standard residential mortgage, although it may be possible to obtain development finance.Utilities:Electricity is connected.We believe a Mains water supply is available, but not yet connected.There is no septic tank or treatment plant.Although some plumbing has been started, there is no boiler or heat pump etc.Some pipes have been installed for under-floor heating, radiators, and bathrooms but they are not connected.Please call Charles Probert if you have any further questions.
