Hugely historically significant Cruck Barn with tremendous architecturally significant features
Full planning permission granted for conversion to a 4 bedroom, 4 ensuite family home
Approx. 1.45 acres of gardens & grounds
Additional 2.27 acre paddock
Beautiful tranquil situation
Bage Mill Cruck Barn lies approx. 7 km north west of the village of Madley and comprises a Listed Grade II Cruck Barn constructed as a threshing barn, probably dating from the mid to late 16th Century. As such, it is a fine example of a vernacular farm building of this region. The Cruck trusses are in remarkably good condition considering their age. Approx. 70m north east of the barn are the vestigial remains of the overshot water mill which was associated with the barn and the powerful stream which operated the mill still flows through the acreage being sold with the barn. Planning permission was granted on the 5th March 2024 for "proposed residential conversion of existing dilapidated cruck frame barn and its associated outbuildings into four bed dwelling". The barn is now being sold, together with approx. 4 acres so th at the purchaser buying th is historically significant barn can sympathetically convert and prolong the life of this special building.
| PROPOSED ACCOMMODATION – CRUCK BARN | The proposed conversion of the Cruck Barn extends to 4 double bedrooms including two ensuite bedrooms on the ground floor. A feature entrance lobby, leading to a formal dining area, an open-plan kitchen diner with separate pantry, with an adjoining snug, and a separate formal living room form the remaining accommodation on the ground floor. On the first floor there are two further ensuite bathrooms, one having its own stair case, the main space of the first floor will be void over the feature dining room to maximise the glorious character features. | |||

| GRADE 2 LISTING | The Grade 2 listing from English Heritage reads as “Barn. Possibly C15 with later extensions. Timber-frame with weatherboards, corrugated iron and stone slate roof. Four bays aligned roughly north/south. East elevation has weatherboarded lean-to with three entries, one to left and two, juxtaposed, to right of centre. West elevation has full-height wagon entry to threshing floor in second bay from left. Interior has bays defined by crucks with collars and cruck spurs; second truss from south end has tie- beam; wall-frames are of heavy scantling with square panels between cill and wall-plate. Bage Mill Farmhouse is not included in this list.” | |||
| ACCESS | The barn benefits from two separate roadside accesses, located either side of the main barn. The farmhouse will be sold with a separate point of access. | |||
| SERVICES | Bage Mill, to date, has always been served from a natural spring located in the property boundary which has never failed to the knowledge of the vendors. It is anticipated that a mains connection to this property would be straightforward, but buyers are to make their own enquiries with Welsh Water. The Barn will have a mains electricity connection, and the planning permission includes the installation of a package treatement plant for foul drainage. | |||
| TENURE | Freehold with vacant possession upon completion of sale. |
