The site at Corfe Farm, on the B3170 on the northern side of the village of Corfe, has planning consent to convert the range of one and two storey period barns into 7 new homes, to develop 6 new houses and modernise the existing Grade II listed five bedroom farmhouse, which has great character and dates back to the 18th century. The total site area extends to approximately 1.24 acres and the new development will provide a range of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom properties offering unit sizes of broad market appeal.

Nigel Coyle from Bruton Knowles comments: “This is a tremendous opportunity to acquire a large scale residential development site in a very popular rural location such as Corfe which benefits from a first class location with its proximity to Taunton just 3.5 miles away with its educational, cultural and commercial facilities and ready rail links to London. It is rare for such a site to come to the market with a planning consent which offers developers the chance to undertake both renovation conversion and new build. He continues: “Barn conversions have proven to have enduring market appeal, particularly when they are sited in such a sought after position. The substantial farmhouse dating back to the 18th century also has tremendous potential, and could make a great family home.

The property is on the market with Bruton Knowles and joint agents Hewitts.  Informal tenders are invited by interested parties no later than midday on Friday 30th May. A technical pack containing copies of surveys, plans, planning consents, section 106 agreement and service enquiries is available from Bruton Knowles or can be viewed at their offices in Taunton.
