Description

This unique property presents an outstanding opportunity for renovation and development, set in a picturesque rural setting just under a mile from the charming village of Doddiscombsleigh. Known for its acclaimed pub, The Nobody Inn, this location is nestled within the stunning Teign Valley, surrounded by tranquil landscapes and only a short drive from several other villages that offer various local amenities. The site currently comprises a collection of existing agricultural structures, including a steel-framed Dutch barn and additional lean-tos, providing a solid foundation for transformation. Planning permission has been granted (application number 23/00519/FUL) for the construction of an impressive five-bedroom family home extending over 3,500 square feet. The proposed design features an inviting entrance hall, practical utility spaces, and an expansive open-plan kitchen/living area that flows into a sitting room and office space. The inclusion of a double garage and playroom further enhances the functionality of the layout. On the first floor, a master suite with en suite bathroom is complemented by four additional bedrooms—one with its own en suite—plus a family bathroom. The total land area includes 0.22 acres as part of the sale, with potential access to an additional 0.4 acres through separate negotiations. This expansion could provide further scope for landscaping or additional development projects. While no services are presently connected to the property, prospective buyers will have the flexibility to establish their own water source through borehole drilling and install private drainage systems as needed. Mains electricity is available nearby, subject to the necessary arrangements. With direct access from the council road and conveniently located just eight miles from Exeter—with its rich array of amenities—this site offers both a peaceful retreat and significant investment potential in a desirable area. For those seeking a project that combines rural charm with modern living possibilities, this property warrants serious consideration. Viewing is available by appointment only through our agency.
