Ashreigney, Chulmleigh, Devon, EX18

Planning to increase height by 3 blocks to allow for a large 2 storey property. Built to housing regulations in 2011/12 (insulated double block) will require a further 50mm of insulation to bring it in with current regs. Equestrian potential with a bridleway 1 field away (no roads to transverse).

The uniqueness of this location cannot be over estimated as to get there, access is pass two farms, through a field with a track running at the side and then onto a second track of some distance running between the vendors fields/paddocks on one side. On arriving off to the left from the barn is the vendors Devon longhouse which is set at an angle away from the barn, so both can enjoy their own private outlook across the farmland to Dartmoor on the horizon.

The design and layout that has gone through planning with Torridge District Council (1/0307/2024/FUL) is all about being energy efficient and self-sufficient with 20 Photovoltaic panels to be sat upon the roof, private bore hole for the water supply and private drainage.

As drawn, the downstairs is a large open plan sitting/dining/kitchen with bi fold doors opening onto a large decking ideal for al fresco entertaining making the most of the views towards Dartmoor. A utility room with door to the outside, a boiler room and cloakroom are found on one side with a gym and two ground floor double bedrooms with a family bathroom opposite finishing off the accommodation.

With the roof being lifted by over 1 metre as part of the planning a 180 degree turn staircase leads up to a large central landing with deep airing cupboard. The master suite extends right across the barn having a large double aspect double bedroom, dressing room and ensuite with bath, shower WC and twin wash hand basins. As well as bedroom four and a shower room being found on this floor there are also double aspect rooms designated as an office and crafts room.

Outside
At either end of the barn, provision has been made for outside entertaining whilst on the eastern side is an expanse of grassland set behind the Devon bank and line of broad leaf trees. The paddock of about 1.5 acres gently slopes in front of the barn and in part in one corner allows for the driveway to arrive at the barn.

Agents note
There is a 2-bedroom static caravan that is available via separate negotiation if the incoming purchaser requires it for accommodation, otherwise it will be removed. The driveway from gates accessing Bolts Farm to Tor View is to be jointly maintained on a percentage share basis. Covenants will include a restriction on external business operation and the keeping of farm animals/livestock on a commercial farming business.
