Whoa! What's a party barn? Secret handshakes on entry, Throw your car keys into the bowl and all that?
There seems to be rather a lot of chrome poles in there. I can't imagine what they're for.
Largest dancefloor in Cambridgeshire. Fact!
They must have taken the picture of the road out the front at 4:30AM, it is really really busy and will usually have a queue of traffic round it.

The place used to be home to a dealer in F1 cars, in fact perhaps still is looking at the pics

Partly but, more for the testing of deep cleaning deodorizing products.

What do you guys think of this potential Grand Design? I have been put off a lot by contempory design recently but I like this a lot.

Its massive and you would have a hard time making it feel homely but I would like to give it a try.

Any ideas on the likely build cost?

https://www.onthemarket.com/details/1632079/

Make sure you check out the brochure at the bottom of the listing for full details and pics
That would make a great episode of Grand Designs. Or even a whole series!

It's a monster at 32000 sqft. First floor layout looks a bit chaotic, though. Just need to get rid of the stables for more garaging.

Would probably cost a few million to build?

Also has planning granted for - http://xenmarlow.com/areas.html

Currently trying to explain to the girlfriend that this has the potential to make a fantastic weekend bolt hole.

From the brochure
"The purchase of a closed church can be a lengthy and
involved procedure which is governed by the Mission and
Pastoral Measure 2011."

It's listed, in an AONB, has no pp for conversion and you have to appoint an architect to sketch conversion plans to submit with your offer. If you have time and cash aplenty, by all means have a go, otherwise there must be tons of rural cottages/farmhouses that would be less of a headache.

And expect every neighbour to have an objection to what you are doing.

I was looking at buying a church a while ago. The ex parson showed me round. He said that all the locals were up in arms about it being sold, and added pithily, "but they weren't bloody interested when it was open".

I like that a lot, it's not much over budget as what we are in the process of buying in London at the moment, a hell of a lot bigger, and Bedford gets me to Farringdon (and thus very close to work) in 40 minutes.

And Lady F insisted we stay in South London.

THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!!

You're not making this any better. That garage could house a very nice track toy...

Horrendous wall to floor ratio. The heating and maintenance bills will be interesting.

Plot 1 & 2 seem to dissect the barn so what are the respective buyers intended to do? split it down the middle and in any case, what are they selling for the £1.5m? All 4 plots or one...?

Given that I'm half way through a 25 minute journey home from the office, yes. It does.

Same here , very odd layout. From the outside just looks like a lot of sheds bolted together. I'd pass for that sort of money

8 acres, wonder how many houses you could put there.. developer opportunity?

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/prope...

Driven by this every day for a few years and you can barely see the house down its private gated road with all the weeds/small trees or plants growing through the driveway

Its Huge, and looks like a project to renovate it ran out of money, bathrooms look like they are missing taps.
