<strong></strong> <strong></strong> The Dutch Barn 1<br/><br/>This Dutch barn, which has planning permission for division and conversion into a four-bed country home, boasts circa 0.4 acres of garden.<br/>The unconverted barn is set in a remote corner of the south Herefordshire countryside, in a setting that is unspoiled by any sound - except a delightful variety of birdsong, the gush of a nearby stream and a tranquil bubbling brook.<br/><br/>A mountain range offers a spectacular backdrop beyond the peaceful garden. It is also worth noting that there is a picturesque and idyllic village around one mile away by foot.<br/><br/>Location<br/>The nearest village of Longtown is set within the Olchon Valley, Herefordshire's best-kept secret. This scenic and diverse valley is enveloped by the Black Mountains of south Wales and boasts stunning views and rich wildlife.<br/>The village is well-appointed; there is a family-run country inn, an award-winning independent village shop and post office, a village hall, an art studio and a primary school that is graded 'Good' by Ofsted. There is also a 12th-century castle, clearly visible from the country lane leading to the plot.<br/>From the property, there is a scenic stroll into the heart of Longtown. It is also worth noting that the Offa's Dyke footpath - a walking trail that spans 177 miles along the English-Welsh border and passes through diverse landscapes - runs close to Longtown and therefore the hike is easily accessible.<br/><br/>The plot at a glance<br/>Herefordshire Council granted planning permission in December 2024 (reference 242765) to convert a large Dutch barn into two properties. By removing the central section of roof, this creates two fully detached properties.<br/>This particular property would be approximately 180 square metres in size.<br/>It would carry four bedrooms, and the master bedroom would also have an en-suite shower room. There would also be an open-plan living arrangement, a family bathroom, a utility room, a cloakroom and a first-floor home office.<br/>In terms of outside space, this home would boast approximately 0.4 acres of garden.<br/><br/>General<br/>Directions<br/>Beginning at Longtown Village Hall, turn right and, after 440m, at the junction, turn left towards The Crown Inn, then turn left again. Pass Hopes Village Shop on the right-hand side of the road, exit the village and keep to the single-lane county road for around 270m. After the hump-back bridge over a stream, take the right-hand turning towards Ewyas Harold and stay on this road for approximately one kilometre, before taking the right-hand turning onto a track, denoted as Brook Farm. Keep to this road for around one kilometre and the threshing barn will be found on the left-hand side.<br/><br/>What3Words: <a target="_blank" href="https://what3words.com/importing.private.kindness">importing.private.kindness</a><br/><br/>Longtown 1 mile • Abergavenny 10 miles • <br/>Hay on Wye 14 miles • Hereford 17 miles • Monmouth 19 miles • Ross-on-Wye 22 miles •<br/>Agent's note: The acreage would need to be verified by your solicitor.<br/>* The several images in this catalogue have been computer-generated to give an impression of how the finished barn would look.
