LISTED building consent for barn conversion to form a two-bed home has been submitted to North Yorkshire Council.

The property at Oak Grange Farm, Great North Road, Brompton On Swale, North Yorkshire, was a former agricultural barn and would be converted into a residential annex.

CLB Heritage has been commissioned to advise on the significance of the building which falls within the curtilage of the adjacent Oak Grange, which is a grade II Listed Building.

The outbuilding to the rear may contain elements of the early 19th century fabric, which includes the southern-most section of the building that has a lower cobblestone course on the west elevation from which a later structure of brick has been built.

The proposal seeks to repair the existing structure with a small element of rebuilding to form a residential annex to the main house.

The plans also aim to reuse the existing cobble and brick outbuilding which is of early and late 19th century date.

The outbuilding contributes to the historic evolution of Black Bull Inn to Black Bull Farm in the mid-late 19th century and visually contributes to the setting as a vernacular building to the rear of the house.
