Description
Description
An exceptional commercial development opportunity comprising a 0.77-hectare (1.9-acre) greenfield site strategically positioned on the southwest edge of the vibrant town of Ottery St Mary. Prominently situated on the B3174 (Barrack Road), the main arterial route connecting Ottery St Mary directly to the A303 and Exeter, the site occupies a highly accessible gateway position. It sits within a well-established commercial and civic hub, bordered by the Finnimore Trading Estate to the east, Ottery St Mary Hospital and King’s School to the west, and thriving residential developments to the north and southwest. The site benefits from an exceptionally sustainable location, the site is directly adjacent to primary public transport links and within comfortable walking distance of the town centre. The approved outline scheme explicitly accommodates a pedestrian route from the nearby bus stop, as well as dedicated parking for cars, motorcycles, and bicycles.
Situation
The site lies approximately 2 miles from the A30 dual carriageway, a major arterial route connecting the region, and is just 9 miles from Junction 29 of the M5 motorway, facilitating efficient travel to and from the area. The city of Exeter is situated around 11 miles to the west, offering a wide range of amenities and services, while the market towns of Honiton and Sidmouth are both within a 5-mile radius, providing additional local conveniences.
The site adjoins the Finnimore Industrial Estate, which is home to a diverse mix of established businesses, including Move Forward Gym Ltd, a well-regarded fitness centre; Chunk of Devon, a specialist food producer; Smart Build Supplies Ltd, a supplier of construction materials; and Perkins Ltd, a company with a strong local presence.
Directions
From Exeter, proceed eastbound on the A30 for approximately 4 miles before taking the exit signposted for Ottery St. Mary. Carry on following signs to Ottery St Mary and continue straight over the following two roundabouts, joining Exeter Road. After approximately 2 miles, after Kings school and the hospital, you will find the site on your left hand side.
