Welcome to MELLING FARM BARN Melling, LA6 2RA The Lune Valley is a much sought after residential location with the desirable market town of Kirkby Lonsdale to the north and the busy county town of Lancaster to the south. It is well served by the M6 (junction 34 being only 8.5 miles away from the property) and the main west coast railway line (Lancaster station is 11.3 miles distant and offers a frequent service to London Euston in around 2 hours, 35 minutes). Barns with planning permission are increasingly rare these days, especially when there are no occupancy conditions attached. Planning permission was granted by Lancaster City Council on the 2nd March 2018 (reference number 18/00022/CU) for "Change of use of barn and land to create one residential dwelling (Use class C3)". A copy of the consent as well as the approved plans is available from the Agents. A formal Section 106 agreement has now been removed from the permission. The purchaser will not need to pay a financial contribution to the council towards the provision of affordable housing prior to first occupation of the development. The result is a cost saving upon development of approximately £11,000 compared to the previous planning consent. . Please note: the boundary plan shows area granted residential consent shaded red, c. 0.11 hectares (0.27 acres); the area edged red, c. 1.63 acres (0.66 hectares) has agricultural status and would require formal change of use to be used for residential purposes. There is mains water which services the trough adjacent to the barn on the site. There is no electricity at present but it has been previously connected. There is no drainage connected. From Lancaster, proceed north on the A683 and travel through the villages of Caton, Claughton and Hornby. Upon entering Melling, the barn is on the left hand side of the road, turn in to the shared entrance just after the village institute. The barn and surrounding land is currently let and so access on site is strictly by prior arrangement with the office. Money Laundering Prospective buyers should be aware that in the event that they make an offer for the property, they will be required to provide the agent with documents in relation to the Money Laundering Regulations; one being photographic ID, i.e. driving licence or passport and the other being a utility bill showing their address. These can be provided in the following ways: by calling into the agents' office with copies or by way of a certified copy provided via their solicitor. In addition prospective buyers will be required to provide information regarding the source of funding as part of the agent’s offer procedure.
