Prospect Barn Middle Street, Laytham, York

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a partially developed barn with full planning permission to extend and create a delightful barn conversion with 2 or 3 en-suite double bedrooms. The property occupies a very generous plot totalling 0.8 of an acre, so if you are looking for a change of lifestyle and like the idea of rural living then this could be the perfect property for you. This is a wonderfully peaceful place to build a home.

The property is extremely versatile as the current layout would be perfect for a couple but if you do desire more space then it could be extended to add two further bedrooms with en-suites, ideal if you have children or like to entertain guests. There are a number of original timber beams throughout the barn so if character is important then they will certainly appeal.

It's unusually sizeable grounds give real privacy and an exciting prospect to create landscape features, plant feature or heritage trees or your very own orchard.

The property is located in the village of Laytham, 8.5 miles from the market town of Pocklington and 20 miles from the City of York. Direct trains to Leeds, Manchester, Hull and London (2 hours) run from Howden, 7 miles away.

It is not very often that opportunities like this come to the market, so if you are a property developer or just like the idea of doing your own project then this could be the property for you.
