Description
Nestled within Devons countryside, on the edge of the sought after village of Ashwater is an opportunity to acquire a development site. 'Q Class' planning has been granted to convert 2 separate former agricultural buildings into 4 x 2 bedroom semi detached barn conversions, both with garden and parking. The barns have been passed with residential development and could be enhanced with alternative plans subject to gaining the necessary contents. An additional barn has great potential for further development, subject to gaining the neccassery consents.
The barns for development at Priestacott Farm are situated on the outskirts of the small friendly village of Ashwater with its traditional picturesque green which is bordered at one end by a popular local Inn, and at the other by the historic parish church. Amenities include a community shop/Post Office, weekly bus service, nearby primary school, and a most impressive/well supported modern village hall. The village is surrounded by rolling Devon farmland with the nearby market town of Holsworthy being the main centre for the locality with its first class range of professional services, shops, leisure amenities, schools, and weekly market. Bude on the North Cornish coast is some 16 miles, and Cornwall's Ancient Capital of Launceston, and the A30 is some 9 miles. Roadford Lake Watersports Centre is about 5 miles.
Directions
From Holsworthy proceed on the A388 towards Launceston for about 3 miles, and upon reaching Clawton turn left signed Ashwater. Proceed for 1.5 miles and upon reaching Sprys Shop Cross turn right and follow the signs to Broadwoodwidger for just over 2 miles. Upon entering the village of Ashwater, the barns for development at Priestacott Farm can be found on the right hand side with a Bond Oxborough Phillips "For Sale" sign clearly displayed.
