Bank Barn offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial sandstone barn in a highly desirable village setting, with exceptional potential for residential development. Full planning permission has been granted for conversion into three distinctive dwellings (subject to the implementation of a nutrient neutrality mitigation strategy - ask agent for details), making it an ideal prospect for developers, investors, or anyone with the vision to create something truly special.Originally converted and later extended, the property has most recently served as a spacious commercial office and laboratory. Behind its traditional sandstone exterior, the interior combines character with functionality, featuring stone arches, exposed walls, arrow-slit windows, and original beams providing the perfect foundation for transformation into highly desirable homes with timeless appeal.The proposed plans and full planning conditions are available via the Cumberland Council website, reference 24/0134, and outline three residential dwellings: a 3-bed, 2-bath home; a 2-bed, 2-bath, both arranged over two floors; and then a characterful ground, single-level dwelling with 2 beds. Each is designed to maximise light, space, and individuality while retaining the charm of the original building.Alternatively, subject to a planning variation, the barn could be remodelled into a single, impressive family residence, offering the scale and character to become a signature home blending heritage architecture with modern luxury.Externally, the generous forecourt allows scope for private gardens and dedicated parking for each property, enhancing lifestyle appeal and long-term value. Located within easy reach of Carlisle and Brampton, the barn promises strong demand whether for sale or rental. Whether developed into multiple units or a single home, Bank Barn presents not just bricks and mortar but the opportunity to unlock significant value in one of the region's most attractive rural setting.How Mill is a charming rural hamlet set amidst the beautiful Cumbrian countryside, just a short distance from the villages of Corby Hill, Warwick Bridge and Hayton. The area offers a peaceful lifestyle while remaining conveniently close to everyday amenities such as local shops, butchers, garages and doctors' surgeries. Outdoor enthusiasts are well catered for, with Talkin Tarn Country Park and Castle Carrock Reservoir nearby, and the wider landscapes of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Lake District National Park within easy reach.
