A freehold re-development site of 0.64 of an acre, with original consent to convert 4 redundant detached barns, superseded by a revised consent to demolish all and build 3 new detached open market dwellings, including; 4 bedroom house, 3 bedroom bungalow and 3 bedroom house. Off a quiet country lane in tranquil rural surroundings, with fine views over open countryside.
Situation & Amenities - On high ground, off a quiet, little used country lane with superb views over open countryside, yet within 15 minutes’ drive of Barnstaple. As the regional centre, Barnstaple houses the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues, as well as the district hospital and live theatre. At Barnstaple there is access to the North Devon Link Road, which runs on in a further 45 minutes or so to Junction 27 of the M5, and where Tiverton Parkway nearby offers a fast train service to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. From Barnstaple there are also train services to Exeter, which can be accessed nearer to the site at Umberleigh and other secondary locations. The market towns of Bideford and South Molton are also within easy access, as is the coast at Instow and Westward Ho! about ½ hour away, with the surfing beaches of Croyde, Saunton (also with a Championship Golf Course), Putsborough and Woolacombe a little further. Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks are easily accessible, as is the Cornish border.
Description & Planning - The site is currently a courtyard of barns, comprising 4 detached units – mainly timber framed and clad in corrugated iron. The original planning consent references 77906 and 77899 under North Devon District Council were for conversion of these barns into 4 separate unrestricted residential dwellings. This consent was superseded by the latest reference 78995, granted on 23/12/2024 for the demolition of barns and erection of 3 open market dwellings and associated works. The plans provide for a central access and shared driveway, initial forecourt leading to the 3 separate dwellings.
Plot 1 - To the East of the site, a detached house provides for the following accommodation: Ground Floor - ENTRANCE HALL, HOME OFFICE, open plan LIVING/DINING ROOM/KITCHEN, UTILITY ROOM, CLOAKROOM. First Floor -4 BEDROOMS, 2 BATHROOMS. Attached DOUBLE GARAGE and appropriately sized plot.
Plot 2 - North of the site, provides for a detached Bungalow with accommodation incorporating: ENTRANCE HALL, open plan LIVING/DINING ROOM/KITCHEN, UTILITY/BOOT ROOM, 3 BEDROOMS, 2 BATHROOMS, detached DOUBLE GARAGE.
Plot 3 - To the West of the site, a detached house provides for the following accommodation: Ground Floor – ENTRANCE HALL, CLOAKROOM, UTILITY ROOM, HOME OFFICE/BEDROOM 4, open plan LIVING/DINING ROOM/KITCHEN. First Floor – 3 BEDROOMS, 2 BATHROOMS. Attached DOUBLE GARAGE and appropriate plot.
Services - The consent provides for a sewage treatment plant, which will be sited on retained land. The vendors would like to work with a purchaser to make mains electricity and water available to the site in the most cost effective way. We understand that both these services are available nearby but will need to cross retained land.
Special Note - The revised consent is subject to a Section 106 Agreement, with the liability for the purchaser to pay approximately £9,000.00.
The plan of the area of land being sold differs from the existing physical boundaries. Purchasers therefore need to envisage the demolition of the existing structures with new boundaries in place, separating the adjoining property to the West known as Fairview. There may be a need to incorporate a manhole cover/easement/right of way for Fairview and a new drainage system, which is scheduled to be installed. However, the system itself will be within the curtilage of Fairview.
Viewings - Strictly by appointment with the selling agent.
Directions - What3Words: ///interviewer.agents.lives
Leaving Barnstaple on the A377 Exeter road, pass through Bishops Tawton, cross the Taw River over New Bridge, ignore the turning to Lake on your right but take the next turning signed Newton Tracey. Climb the hill for approximately ¾ mile, bear sharp left at Fairview and the site will be found just beyond on the left-hand side.
