The Big Barns

These barns are large-being by around 7 by 18 metres, and over two storeys high. Being an ex-milking parlour, there is water and electricity in situ and the building is structurally sound and in good clean condition with a good concrete floor. We have obtained full planning consent for this building to be turned into two separate three bedroomed dwellings-eg as gites. We've had architects drawings prepared for this, which includes plans for one of these dwellings to include a ground floor bedroom and bathroom suitable for use by someone with a physical disability. This would be a real bonus in this area, where there is a very limited supply of holiday accommodation for people who are wheelchair users.
At the side of the barn, we've fenced the area off for use as a dog pound/lawn mower servicing area. On the architects plans, this is shown as a possible communal laundry area...



...this view shows the interior of the upstairs part of the barns. If developed, there would be wonderful views from here-towards the forest at the front, and across to Sourdeval at the rear.
