Description
A rare opportunity to purchase a barn which has consent for conversion
Situation - The Barn at New Park Farm lies in a beautifully peaceful, rural location on the Devon/Somerset border 4.5 miles south of Dulverton, a charming historic town with a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants, library, doctors surgery, pharmacy and schools. The larger market town of Tiverton lies approx. 12 miles to the south with further facilities including Blundell's School. The location is rural but not isolated. The A361 North Devon Link Road can be accessed within 4.5 miles and provides a direct link to the M5 motorway at Junction 27 and Tiverton Parkway Railway Station, with services to London (Paddington).
East Anstey has a primary school and parish church (St. Michael's)
Exmoor National Park is a short distance north of the farm and provides spectacular scenery and excellent walking, riding and fishing whilst the North Devon coast with its dramatic rugged coastline and sandy beaches at Putsborough, Saunton and Croyde, is also within easy reach.
Information - The barn for conversion consists of a steel frame with timber walls. The roof was new in 2021 and comprises of cement corrugated sheeting with skylights. The Gross Internal Area (GIA) of the existing building is 455m².
The planning granted is for the erection of a 6-bed property. Our clients would like a smaller property to be developed which better suits the site in the region of 4 bedrooms. They are open to discussions on site as to what that might look like and for the purchaser to go back in for alternative planning. This is an exciting opportunity to purchase a site with lots of potential for a bespoke new build property. Should the original planning be developed for a six bedroom property then a higher sales price is expected.
On the original planning it should be noted that a section of the existing building on the western end of the building is to be removed. This area totals approximately 21m². The removal of this area is required to ensure a suitable space between the garaging of the the approved residential dwelling to the west (ref: 74008). There are also no windows permitted on this elevation.
Also on the original planning is that prior to the building hereby approved being brought into first use, Two Vivara Pro Woodstone House Sparrow Nest Boxes (double chamber)10 or equivalent shall be installed as high as possible on the north or east elevation of the main house and; One bat box (such as the Elisa Bat Box) shall be installed on an east or south facing elevation in a position where it will be located away from artificial light sources. Any box installed shall be maintained and retained thereafter.
According to the Environment Agency's flood mapping service, the site lies within flood zone 1, meaning there is a low probability of the site flooding. The site is further located in an area of very low risk of surface water flooding.
