Jacobs Creek, Pyworthy

A fantastic opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom barn conversion project, positioned in an elevated setting and enjoying views across its own 6.78 acres of land, nestled within a picturesque rural valley in the far west of Devon.

Building notice was granted by Torridge District Council on 2nd September 2026 (reference 1/0275/2026/FUL), allowing three years from this date to commence works. A copy of the building notice can be provided upon request, and plans for the proposed conversion will be available to view during accompanied viewings.

The appeal of this property lies in its private and secluded position, enjoying far-reaching valley and countryside views alongside excellent potential for a variety of uses. With its generous acreage, the property would particularly suit equestrian buyers or those seeking a rural, outdoor lifestyle.

In recent years, Jacobs Creek has been operated as an eco-camping site, and the current owner has maintained business rate relief with Torridge District Council. As such, buyers looking to establish a campsite, glamping venture, or other outdoor-based business may find the process more straightforward.

The sale will also include the mobile home currently on site, together with various sheds and outbuildings, and there is ample off-road parking available.

The 6.78 acres of land are divided into two paddocks. The larger field gently slopes away from the barn and is fully visible from it, creating an attractive outlook. Towards the lower boundary there is a pond and stream, with a gate leading through to the second paddock. This area is level, bordered by a stream and river, and enjoys pleasant views towards the deer enclosure opposite.

The nearby friendly village of Pyworthy has a village hall, and popular village pub. The bustling market town of Holsworthy has a weekly Pannier Market, good range of national and local shops together with a Waitrose supermarket, BP filling station, Marks & Spencers Simply Food and Wild Bean café. There are a whole range of amenities within the town including a heated swimming pool, sports hall, bowling green, cricket club, 18 hole golf course etc. Bude on the North Cornish coast is some 9 miles. Okehampton, Dartmoor National Park and the market town of Bideford are some 20 miles distant, whilst Barnstaple, the Regional North Devon Centre is some 30 miles. Launceston, Cornwall's ancient capital, is some 14 miles distant. Holsworthy is in the heart of “Ruby Country”, named after the famous local Red Ruby cattle.
