DESCRIPTIONAn increasingly rare opportunity to convert a collection of 3adjoining former farm buildings, which include a 2 storeyperiod stone barn, 2 storey steel frame barn and single storeysteel frame barn. Planning permission was achieved on the

12th December 2016 under North Devon Council planningreference 61980 for change of use to a dwelling (Class QAand B). There is scope to create a highly individual andcontemporary 'Grand Design' which will be well detached andset in park like grounds, pasture and woodland, ofapproximately 10.94 acres which can merely provideprotection but alternatively may be suitable for use as a smallequestrian establishment.

The Barns are approached via a private 5 bar gated entrance,initially through a copse and then over a central firm trackwhich crosses a large private pasture field which is generallylevel. A bridge then crosses a stream and the barn complexenjoys a slightly elevated site built into the hillside and enjoysviews down the valley to the front over its own land and intothe distance. Beyond there are a series of smaller enclosuresall fence enclosed. The 2 storey stone barn measures 37' x17'over 2 floors, the modern 2 storey barn in front of it 30' x 23'and the single storey section to the right 58' x 35'. Weunderstand that the current proposals allow foraccommodation covering approximately 436sq m or 4693 sqft. Copies of the proposed plans, elevation, drawings etc canbe viewed on North Devon Council Planning Tracker websiteby entering the planning reference previously provided inthese particulars.
