Development Plot, St. Weonards, Hereford, Herefordshire

Description
An outstanding opportunity to acquire a residential development scheme of Grade II listed agricultural barns with full planning permission and Listed Building Consent for conversion into eight luxury homes. The scheme successfully combines the character and history of traditional farm buildings with high-quality contemporary design.

The development is already well progressed, with significant conversion works undertaken across the barns.

The approved designs have been thoughtfully prepared to showcase the unique architectural features of the historic buildings, including vaulted spaces, exposed timbers and original structural elements, whilst incorporating modern open-plan layouts suited to contemporary living.
The scheme will create a range of attractive single and two-storey dwellings, providing a balanced mix of 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes designed to appeal to a broad section of the market.

Each residence benefits from its own private garden with exceptional countryside views.
The scheme is accessed from quiet country lanes across a private farm track.

The scheme offers a rare chance to acquire and complete a distinctive collection of eight high-quality countryside homes within an attractive historic farmstead setting.

A website has been created to showcase the scheme and can be found at: (please see details in brochure)

Planning
The development falls within Herefordshire Local Planning Authority.

Planning permission for the development has been secured through a series of approvals, including the principal consents granted on 23 February 2022 under application references P202927/F and P202928/L. These approvals authorised the subdivision and conversion of the existing agricultural buildings to provide a total of eight residential dwellings, together with associated internal and external works and the enlargement of garden curtilages.

Further approvals obtained during 2024 approved variations of conditions and reserved matters submissions, reflecting the ongoing progression of the development with the continued support of the Local Planning Authority.

Most recently, application references P260839/F and P260842/L were approved on 21 May 2026, granting planning permission and listed building consent respectively. These consents regularise works undertaken on site and amend earlier permissions to align with the development in its current form.
