Description

A fantastic opportunity to acquire this former workshop with class MA approval for conversion to a 2 bedroom single story dwelling situated in a semi-rural location less than a mile from the popular village of Culmstock.

'The Workshop' has already undergone the first phase of work, including: New windows and doors fitted, new roof and guttering, new cladding to the perimeter, new electrics into the building (with small consumer board and plug point), new gate and fence to the perimeter, stoned and compacted yard area, new toilet, treatment tank and soak away, new water supply into the building. There is an existing bore hole and a buyer will just need to put in a water filtration system. There is now a great opportunity for someone to build out 'The Workshop' to their own taste.

The property is accessed via double five bar gates which lead to a large level area, ready to be landscaped into parking and gardens. The plot enjoys nice views over the surrounding countryside.

For full details - input reference 25/00501/PNCOU at

In line with condition 1 of the approved decision notice the conversion should be completed within 3 years of 27th May 2025.

Culmstock is a thriving village with a busy village stores with café and deli, well respected local pub, medieval church, and a playground, football pitch and community pavilion located on nearby Hunter’s hill. There are also excellent local walks, for example to the Elizabethan Beacon that overlooks the town and along the riverside to nearby Uffculme. The property is in the catchment of the well-respected, Ofsted Outstanding-rated Uffculme Secondary School. The village is friendly and welcoming and annually hosts its own fete and flower, craft and vegetable show. The village, although rural, is well connected with junction 26 of the M5 just 5 miles away. Wellington (5.5 miles) offers day to day amenities such as supermarkets, schools and recreational facilities. Mainline train stations can be found at Tiverton (5.5 miles) and Taunton (13 miles), both with fast rail links to Exeter, Bristol, and London (1hour40 from Taunton).
