Description
A rare and exciting opportunity, this site offers two independent Class Q conversion projects, each with direct access and significant potential. Whether you are a developer seeking a proven scheme or a self-builder looking for a bespoke rural home, the flexibility, scale, and established planning position of this property make it a compelling investment in the heart of Devon.
Barn One – Agricultural Barn with Class Q Approval for Four Dwellings
This impressive barn benefits from secure Class Q planning consent for conversion into four spacious family homes, each measuring approximately 150 sqm. The proposed layouts have been carefully considered to maximise natural light and flow, with open-plan living spaces, well-proportioned bedrooms, and ample scope for high-quality contemporary finishes. The resulting homes will combine the character of their agricultural setting with modern comfort, providing a unique collection of three-bedroom houses in the Devon countryside. Each property will have its own private entrance and garden, with shared parking and access designed for practicality and convenience. Importantly, the principle of residential use on this site has been firmly established, offering developers the option of pursuing alternative schemes under the “fall back” position should they wish. Buyers also have the opportunity to acquire up to an additional acre of land, well-suited for allotment-style gardens or extended grounds.
Together, these barns present a rare dual opportunity: a proven multi-unit scheme with clear development potential alongside a charming standalone home with land. The established planning consents and attractive rural setting combine to create a project of exceptional appeal for developers, investors, or individuals keen to create a home in the Devon countryside.
