Overview

NOW SOLD

An excellent opportunity to create your forever family home, with Class Q planning permission granted for a detached 3 bedroom barn conversion, with excellent rural views over its own 10 acres of land.

The barn is situated on the quiet parish road joining Woolsery and Bideford enjoys a secluded and very private position within its own parcel of land. The barn is accessed via a private gateway crossing a small stream onto the land with a 50m track to the barn itself. Included with the barn are approaching 10 acres of accompanying ground with potential for a range of recreational or smallholding uses. An excellent self-build opportunity where purchasers can custom build their forever home or a developer look to add value in a prime location.

The Site

The building is set on its own within an area of mixed Woodland with pastureland to the south. The barn consists of a single storey building and an adjacent corrugated shed. The building is an ‘A’ framed portal, with masonry and timber cladding for the walls, timber joists and concrete uprights.

Proposed Accommodation 

The approved scheme provides a three-bedroom dwelling, family bathroom and a large, open plan, farmhouse style kitchen/dining room/sitting room.

To the side of the dwelling a proposed car port will provide storage for multiple vehicles.
It is presumed that the buyer will provide hard standing parking spaces to the side of the property whilst a separate domestic amenity area has been designed to the rear. Vehicular & pedestrian access to the proposed dwelling will be via the existing agricultural access.

The planned dwelling will retain the form of the original building. It is proposed to create new window openings, to facilitate the proposed development, & these will have a simple minimalist architectural style which will complement the existing aesthetics and design.
