DESCRIPTION
Under the current plans the barn when converted will comprise 2 single storey 2 bedroom properties and 3 two storey 3 bedroom properties.

The barn enjoys a rural location down a long track off of the B4011 between Blackthorn and Brill. Brill itself is 2.1 miles, Arncott 1 mile, and Piddington 1 mile.

We offer the barn with circa 2 acres (0.40 ha) of level land which will form garden and paddock. The view from the site is countryside and a distant tree line and there is one nearby neighbouring property to the south.
The existing structure is steel framed with part blockwork and steel sheeting walls beneath a fibre cement roof and it has a footprint of 373 square metres (4000 sq ft)

Access to the barn is via a long track which is owned by the neighbouring property with full access rights granted. The users of the track jointly maintain it.

SERVICES
The owners have received estimated costs of circa ?5,000 for mains water to be connected and circa ?36,000 for phase three electricity to be connected although interested parties will have to make their own enquiries.

VIEWING
The site is secure and appointments are strictly through W Humphries Ltd by prior arrangement.

LOCATION
Brill is a compound of two words, the first part being Celtic for hill and the second part (hyll) being old English.

The village sits on a hill and has commanding views over Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire and is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty. There is a pretty High Street and a village green with a seventeenth century windmill that is one of the most photographed windmills in the country.

Brill has a colourful history and it is thought that the Saxon kings had a palace there that was a favourite residence of Edward the Confessor. During the Civil War King Charles established a garrison at Brill, which was unsuccessfully attacked by the Parliamentarians, led by Hampden the famous patriot.

There are a number of clubs and groups in the village including scouts, cricket and football teams, a branch of the W.I, and lots of activities in the Memorial Hall. For day to needs Brill has two convenience stores and a post office, an award winning butcher, and there are also two well regarded pub/restaurants.
