There is a local disused farm in our village (South Wales) which is nigh on derelict. It looks like its now little more than a shell, but could quite simply be made into a stunning period home. It has a couple of outbuildings which I have big plans for and is not too vast in terms of land but would make a lovely home.
As someone who has never done any property development but always been captivated by the idea, would it be a feasible first project to undertake?
It’s a Grade II listed building, and I appreciate most of the restrictions that comes with renovating a listed building, but this really could be a fantastic project and I imagine the sense of achievement to be immense if it ever made it to completion.
I’ve read through Greg Stevensons Renovation Diary on this site and that has simply fuelled my hunger to undertake this project. I’ve arranged to contact the local council regarding a potential purchase and although this is at the very first feasibility stage, I'm quite excited.
What I wanted to know was whether some more experiences personnel in this sort of thing think this may be trying to run before I can walk, or whether it can be done if approached properly.
Any information, reading or resources on such a project is most certainly welcomed.
Thanks
