Description

A detached single-storey building in a picturesque setting on the outskirts of the Dartmoor village of Buckland-in-the-Moor

Tenure: Freehold

Description and Situation

This is an unusual opportunity to acquire a small building on the outskirts of the pretty Dartmoor village of Buckland-in-the-Moor.

The building is accessed from the lane and is raised up. It is built of single-skin blockwork with a pitched corrugated asbestos roof covering. It measures 16' x 11'4'' and has a timber entrance door with window opening to one side. There is a side window opening and earth floor.

We understand that the building has no planning potential for residential use.

Directions

From our offices, proceed out of Ashburton along North Street and at the end of the road bear left, over the bridge, signposted for Buckland-in-the-Moor. Stay on the road for just over three miles and take the right-hand turning, after the church, into Elliotts Hill. Continue up the lane and the building will be found after 0.4 of a mile on the right marked by our For Sale sign.

Viewing

Strictly by appointment please by contacting our offices.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance

To comply with UK Anti Money Laundering legislation, all estate agents are required to complete ID verification checks on all sellers and buyers, to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends and to verify the legitimate source of funds of every buyer. We conduct these checks through an independent specialist service provider, alongside our own internal due diligence, and there is a fee of £24 (£20 plus VAT) per person. This is not a credit check so it will have no effect on your credit history.
