Description

Occupying an elevated position within the highly sought-after Devon village of Highampton, this exceptional former stable enjoys breathtaking far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside towards the majestic landscape of Dartmoor National Park. Offering an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke countryside home, the property benefits from planning permission for conversion into a spacious three-bedroom detached residence.

Constructed with future conversion in mind, we understand the existing structure, including the roof, walls and foundations, was built to the necessary standard, providing an excellent starting point for those looking to bring their dream home to life. The approved plans have been thoughtfully designed to offer well-balanced accommodation, comprising a generous principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, a further double bedroom, a versatile third bedroom or home office, a contemporary family bathroom, a separate kitchen/dining room and an impressive living room, perfectly positioned to make the most of the outstanding rural outlook.

Set within approximately 2.5 acres, the property offers an enviable lifestyle opportunity with a generous paddock ideal for those wishing to keep horses or livestock, alongside garden areas and ample off-road parking. Whether you are seeking an equestrian retreat, a smallholding lifestyle or simply the peace and tranquillity of Devon's rolling countryside, this unique development presents a rare chance to create a stunning home in an idyllic rural setting while remaining within easy reach of village amenities.
