Fit For A King – Or Queen !
Eilean Righ Island and Houses (c) 2012 Knight Frank.
It can be mildly annoying when some estate agents overly use the words ‘rarely’ available, or ‘stunning’. That is because it devalues these terms when something rare actually comes along.
Here we have the iconic unique property. An exceptional private island situated on the gorgeous coast line of Argyll in Loch Craignish. Loch Craignish is a quiet, sheltered and secluded sea loch. Remote, but at the same time, readily accessible by air, sea or road.

Barn Not Bought
Court Lodge Barn (c) 2012 Clive Emson & Co.
This is an example of our Back-To-The-Future principle. Simply put: Always keep an eye on what sells and what doesn’t in the past, as it might become your home in the future !
Here is a classic example. This barn recently failed to sell at auction, placing any buyer in a very good position, as the seller of property that doesn’t attract a buyer at auction is often “well motivated” to sell. So a cheeky offer might secure.
The Grade II Listed Barn listed here, with Planning Permission for residential conversion, is situated within the popular Willesborough District of Ashford, Kent, occupying a good size plot and with its own vehicular access off Sevington Lane.
The Barn is located at the bottom of Highfield, within a short drive of Junction 10 of the M20, providing access to the Channel Tunnel terminal and the ports of Folkestone and Dover beyond, as well as access to the M25 to the west.
Ashford lies on the Great River Stour and has a mainline/international railway station (including the HS1 – High Speed) making London easily accessible as well as rail links to the continent.
Planning
Planning Permission has been granted by Ashford Borough Council under ref: 08/01185/AS, dated 19th May 2009, for change of use to residential (C3) and conversion of redundant farm buildings to create five dwellings.
A copy of the Planning Consent, proposed plans and full timber survey are available for inspection at the Auctioneer’s Office.
Site Measurements
The plot extends to approximately 0.4 acres (0.16 hectares).
Proposed Accommodation Ground Floor
Main entrance, living area with two staircases, kitchen/breakfast area, study, bedroom, shower room and lobby.
Proposed First Floor – West Staircase
Landing, two bedrooms and shower room.
Proposed First Floor – East Staircase
Gallery landing, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
Outside
Front garden incorporating driveway and parking. Rear garden.
Auctioneer’s Note
The barn forms part of a larger complex for which Planning Consent has been granted and implemented. The three remaining units have been completed and sold.
Location: Court Lodge Barn One – Sevington Lane, Willesborogh, Ashford, Kent, TN24 0LB.
Tenure: Freehold.
Original Guide: £180,000 to £200,000 – worth a cheeky offer. Also make completely sure what IS included and what is NOT included in the Lot before even considering a post-auction bid.
