Plot with Planning for 5 Q-Class Barn Conversions, plus Existing Farmhouse - Orcop, Hereford

A Rare, Exceptional Rural Development Opportunity with Class Q Approval for 5 Contemporary Barn Conversions, enjoying a tranquil elevated setting on Garway Hill, near Orcop in South Herefordshire.

Barn A: 3 Bedroom Semi-Detached x 2 – Barn B: 3 Bedroom Detached & 2 Bedroom Detached – Barn C: 3 Bedroom Detached – Private Gardens – Farmhouse – Designated Parking – Elevated Countryside Setting – Full Structural Survey – Class Q Approval for Residential Use – Existing Access & Hardstanding

Little Camdore Farm lies between the rural hamlets of Garway Hill and Orcop, offering a peaceful yet accessible countryside setting with expansive views and total privacy. The nearby villages provide access to local amenities and schools, while Hereford and Monmouth are within comfortable driving distance for broader shopping, leisure and transport links.

The Development

Barn A: Two high quality semi-detached conversions, each offering 3 double bedrooms including an ensuite principal bedroom, large open plan kitchen/living areas and downstairs cloakrooms. Each unit benefits from full-height glazing, private garden space, and designated off-road parking.

Barn B: A versatile structure offering two distinct dwellings. One is a substantial 3 bedroom detached home with dual living zones, study/office, and utility. The other is a well-proportioned 2 bedroom conversion, ideal as a downsize or holiday let, with bright living space and modern layout.

Barn C: A single-storey detached barn conversion with 3 bedrooms, including ensuite to principal bedroom. The open plan living/kitchen area spans over 40 sq. m, while wide windows and contemporary features bring in excellent natural light and countryside views.

All units are served by existing access tracks and hardstanding areas suitable for driveways, turning and private gardens. Plans include well defined parking for each dwelling and generous plot layouts.

Location

The site occupies a peaceful, slightly elevated position on Garway Hill, a picturesque part of Herefordshire with unspoilt views, nearby public footpaths and strong appeal to lifestyle buyers and those relocating. Garway and Orcop both offer pubs and community facilities, while the market towns of Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye, and the Cathedral City of Hereford, are within 30 minutes by car.

Planning & Structure

Approved under Class Q Permitted Development (Ref: 251259), the site benefits from full prior approval for conversion of the barns to residential use. A full structural report (Andrew Collinson, May 2025) confirms all buildings are sound and require no major structural changes beyond standard domestic upgrades. The proposed plans by Greenleaf Architecture outline thoughtfully arranged interiors and striking yet sympathetic exteriors, allowing for a modern rural development that complements its setting.
