This property presents a unique opportunity for a buyer looking for a substantial renovation project in a desirable Lincolnshire village setting. The listing comprises a former butcher’s shop and two cottages, all in need of complete refurbishment, situated on a large 0.38-acre plot in the heart of Barrowby, Lincolnshire.

The external appearance suggests a sound structure, but the interior photographs reveal extensive damage and outdated features throughout the butcher’s shop and cottages. Walls require repair or replacement, and all fixtures and fittings would need to be upgraded or replaced. This will require significant financial investment and project management expertise.

The substantial plot size is a key attraction, offering ample space for potential development or expansion beyond the existing structures. There could be scope to convert the butcher’s shop into additional residential or commercial space, subject to planning permission. Given the desirable location close to the highly-rated Barrowby Church of England Primary School, and Grantham’s train station, this property will appeal to buyers in the market for a large-scale project and/or commercial investor. The proximity to Grantham also adds value due to its amenities and transport links.

Ultimately, the success of this investment will depend heavily on the buyer’s ability to manage a large-scale renovation project and successfully obtain any necessary planning permissions for development. A thorough survey and detailed cost estimates are absolutely vital before proceeding.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
