Local authorities have approved plans to convert a set of rural farm buildings in Northamptonshire into a holiday accommodation site. The site, situated near Blatherwycke, northeast of Corby, will transform five mid-19th-century barns and stables into six holiday homes. The development also includes plans for a café and retail space.
The proposed holiday homes will vary in size from one to three bedrooms and will feature fully equipped living spaces, kitchens, bathrooms, and terraces. A café offering food and drinks and a bicycle rental service in one of the larger units will be included.
The applicant, F & A George Ltd noted the local demand for tourist accommodation, citing nearby attractions such as Fineshade Woods and Rutland Water, as well as the market towns of Stamford and Oundle.
The site will retain existing access from Blatherwycke Road, with a new car park to be constructed to accommodate guests.
