The Old Store | High Street | Waddington | Lincoln
Full Planning Permission Granted for conversion to form 3 homes
Full planning permission has been granted by North Kesteven District Council for the change of use and conversion of this historic village shop to form three new homes in the heart of Waddington village - and our clients couldn't be happier!
The Old Village Store, which dates back to the late eighteenth century, is a distinctive stone-built and part brick-built, ‘L’ shaped 2-storey building, located on the corner of High Street and Bar Lane in Waddington.
The building has been vacant since 2020 after new stores opened elsewhere in the village leading to the eventual closure of the former convenience store. It was then acquired by our clients Bailfarm Ltd, local property developers based in Lincoln.
The site lies within Waddington Conservation Area and the adjacent (and adjoining) dwelling, Stone View, is Grade II listed. Therefore a sensitive and careful restoration and conversion is planned to give this empty property a new life and provide three well proportioned homes.
"Excellent and pragmatic approach by Fytche-Taylor Planning, ultimately ending in success with planning permission granted". 5* Google Review, Amy Lynch, Bailfarm Ltd
The conversion works will utilise the main stone store that faces on to the High Street, which previously had residential living quarters at the first floor, plus a large extended stone projection to the rear that extends back along Bar Lane.
The interlinked stone buildings will be subdivided to form three homes, with a large modern lean-to at the rear removed to form new private yards for each home. With private off-road parking, and being a short distance to schools, local shops and public transport links the new homes will make a great contribution to the area.
