Description
EXCEPTIONAL STONE BARN WITH PLANNING PERMISSION IN AN IDYLLIC NORTH DEVON COASTAL SETTING
Set in an enviable coastal position with breathtaking views across rolling countryside to the sea beyond, this substantial derelict stone barn presents a rare and exciting opportunity to create a striking four-bedroom residence in one of North Devon’s most picturesque locations.
The property benefits from full planning consent for conversion to a generous four-bedroom dwelling, with the planning permission already implemented, providing the reassurance of perpetual planning status. Once complete, the approved design promises a unique blend of traditional character and contemporary rural living, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the spectacular outlook.
The barn sits adjacent to an enclosed paddock which extends to approximately 2.9 acres, making it ideal for equestrian use, livestock, or a smallholding lifestyle. The land enjoys stunning views throughout and offers both privacy and a strong sense of connection to the surrounding landscape.
With its elevated position, dramatic vistas, and proximity to the North Devon coast, this is a truly exceptional development opportunity—ideal for those seeking to create a bespoke countryside home in a setting of outstanding natural beauty.
Services: Water, electricty and drainage are all on site.
Applicants are advised to proceed from Barnstaple on the main A361 sign posted Braunton and Ilfracombe. Follow the road through Braunton for approximately 10 miles to Mullacott Cross roundabout. At the roundabout take the first left-hand exit sign posted Woolacombe & Mortehoe and continue along this road for approximately 1 1/2 miles to Turnpike Cross. Shortly after Turnpike Cross, turn right, sign posted Mortehoe, onto Mortehoe Station Road. Follow this road for 1 1/4 miles where the entrance to Yarde Farm will be found on the right-hand side shortly after Damage Barton. The Stone Barn is accessed via a long sweeping shared driveway that leads down to the property.
