A Nissen hut with permission to be converted into a one-bedroom home will go up for sale next month.
The barns at Barrowfield Farm, Isleham Road, Fordham form a small farmyard extending to 0.34 acres.
They comprise a detached Nissen hut - a prefabricated steel structure for military use - and an open-fronted timber pole barn with lean-to.
Also included within the sale - which has a guide price of £140,000 - is a 30-foot shipping container.
Prior approval for change of use to residential was granted by East Cambridgeshire District Council in November 2020.
The approval allows the Nissen hut to be converted to a one-bedroom dwelling with open-plan living accommodation.
"The generous plot allows for ample opportunity to create off-street parking and establish gardens," added a Cheffins spokesperson.
