Planning

Bicton House Barns are Grade II listed. Planning permission and listed building consent were granted and have been implemented under references 21/01345/FUL and 21/01346/LBC for the conversion of the traditional barns into three residential dwellings with garages.

The approved plans and associated planning documents can be viewed on the Shropshire Council Planning Portal.

Use

The barns are to be used and developed for residential purposes only. Commercial and other uses will not be permitted, and the relevant restrictions will be included within the legal documentation.

Drainage

A new private treatment plant is to be installed in accordance with the planning permission and listed building consent.

Services

Mains water and electricity are available.

Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding the availability, capacity and suitability of all services.

Wayleaves, Easements and Rights of Way

A right of way will be granted over Bicton House Drive. A new access track will need to be constructed across land retained by the seller, between the existing drive and the barns. The purchaser will be granted the necessary rights of access over this land.

The property will be sold subject to, and with the benefit of, all existing wayleaves, easements and rights of way, whether public or private.
