Situation
The property is situated in Owston Ferry, a popular village lying to the west of the River Trent in north Lincolnshire. The village has a long history dating back to the 11th century, with a number of historical sites still evident today including the remains of Kinaird Castle and St Martin’s Church.

Owston Ferry offers a range of facilities, including a convenience store, GP practice, post office and the highly regarded White Hart and Crooked Billet pubs. A more comprehensive selection can be found in Gainsborough, Scunthorpe and Doncaster, all of which can be reached in a little over 30 minutes.

Whilst nestling in the countryside, the village is well serviced with the M180 motorway around 15 minutes away, providing excellent connections up, down and across the country via the M18, M62 and A1.

Description
The property is a mixed residential development site benefiting from both full and outline planning permissions offering the opportunity for 10 units in total.

The site extends to about 2.75 acres (1.11 hectares) and comprises a large three storey brick building being former workers cottages associated with ‘hemp or flax growing trade’ that was popular in the area in the mid to late 18th century. The cottages are in varied conditions with some needing modernisation whilst others requiring renovation.

Adjoining is a two storey L-shaped threshing barn believed to have been constructed at a similar time to the workers cottages. The barn has suffered storm damage and is in need of full restoration but once completed, will provide an exceptional four-bedroom dwelling with an estimated internal floor area measuring 3,660 sq ft (340 sq m).

Behind the barn are two large modern steel-framed buildings covering approx.. 9,000 sq ft (836 sq m). Next to the buildings is a large hardstanding yard suitable for storage, and beyond is an area of amenity grassland.
