Fill it with old cars then in 15 to 20 years time go barn find crazy on ebay
I 've put an offer in on an old farmhouse near Bath. It has a fairly modern 10,000 sq ft warehouse which was priced at 150K but so far we have negotiated to have it included in the price. I've upped our offer today. I don't need a warehouse & I'm wondering what to do with it if I end up buying. My idea of having a micro-brewery didn't go down well with Mrs t-7. Demolition could be an option as it is a bit of an eyesore compared with the rest of the property. Any suggestions for possible use? I'm too afraid of getting caught to set up a Cannabis farm.

Store classic cars, on condition you can drive them to keep the batteries charged? 😉😉
Self storage, car,vehicle,caravan storage
Or
Indoor go kart track
Kids soft play area
Loads of options
Rent the space to locals. A farm near me has a full joinery workshop in the barn.
Kennels
Rent space for storage (caravans, cars etc)
Laser tag (is that still a thing?)
Kart track
Skate park
Brothel (probably difficult to get past the wife)
Awesome ideas so far!
Tennis court(s)
That would be my choice
Btw it's slightly off the beaten track. Good security. 6 miles from central Bath, 7 miles from Bristol. Probably would prefer not too much coming & going. I did think storage after my micro-brewery brainwave was shot down in flames
My old man has a 20,000 sq ft ‘low height’ warehouse and the current tenants are a self storage company who are very busy at the moment IMHO it’s definitely a growing market.

Why bother? Sounds a waste of capital. Offer less on the property you actually want. Otherwise you are paying for something you want to demolish?

Car, caravan & motorhome storage. Shouldn't be too high traffic as people aren't taking them in & out every day. Charge extra for power (battery charging etc). Charge extra for starting them up once a month.
Old skool 1988 style good old warehouse party venue. I’ll come.
Cheers..

CAA approval for Helicopter landing site.
Offer handling and hangarage.

Rent it out to Stratosphereguy so he can store his wallet...
An Indoor snow park..
People would pay good money to sledge, build snowmen and have snow ball fights all year round.. Well, I certainly would! :)
You could have indoor snow cannons and wind tunnels to create blizzard effects...
Only problem.. How does one create snow indoors...

Snooker hall, indoor lazer quest or escape rooms are doing very well at the moment.

Buy lots of bikes and cars. Then buy some more.
(Or start an internet sales company called Amazon.)
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Have a google of luxury cattery it’s a licence to print money and a lot quieter than a kennel.
Or an air rifle barn, there’s one near us.
I'd be thinking long and hard about firstly what level of involvement I wanted to have with any possible use of the building. Assuming your choice was little then I'd be considering what impact would letting it out to others would have on my home life.
(Out of sheer curiosity, north or south of Keynsham?).

Rehearsal/recording studios. You are close enough to Bath to expect decent demand and custom from local bands and musos. That's what I would do but it is capital intensive. You'd need to be a muso and/or in it for the love of it for it to work. Obvious issues with noise levels too. Well you did ask!

Shame about the micro-brewery – that would have been my first choice.
Bare-knuckle boxing arena? Boat museum? Living nude art gallery?
Check for asbestos - demolition or refurbishment work could be very costly.
I pay £275 every 6 mths to store a vehicle here. I worked he has over 100 vehicles in storage, its a working farm and you provide your own insurance so it must be a good money spinner

I don't know what made me think of this - but have you thought of using it to start a company selling a football pools prediction service, guaranteeing success?
Not been done in that area before has it?
My workshop is in a farm full of (at last count 37) small lettable workshop/enterprise units. It is a thriving little community, surprisingly self-regulating and low input requirement for the landlord, who is someone I have known for years.
You'll need good leccy supplies and a washroom / kitchen type area. You insure the building, the tenants do everything else.
One the other hand, my uncle has a few large old barn type units on his "farm" that are used for storage, the largest is always taken by people looking to store trade show stands when they are not in use.
If it were mine, it would be my workshop.

Watch box storage...
Build a 90,000 sq/ft warehouse inside?
I don't think anyone has mentioned a trampoline park yet - the one my kids go to is always mobbed. Just make sure you have a direct phone link to A&E...
Indoor rock climbing/boldering, gym, yoga, café type place.
