This property offers a rare chance to transform two traditional agricultural barns, complete with planning permission, into a spacious four-bedroom residential home. Nestled within approximately 0.44 acres of serene countryside, the barns are conveniently accessed via a private double-gated entrance from a tranquil country road, providing both privacy and potential for ample off-street parking.
The barn structures showcase classic architectural elements with stone and partially rendered elevations beneath slate roofs. Internal measurements reveal generous spaces: the first barn is roughly 10.4m by 5m, linked by an interconnecting section measuring around 4.4m by 2.6m to the second barn, which spans about 8.3m by 4.7m. With approved plans for conversion into a bespoke two-story dwelling, the proposed design includes an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area featuring vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning stove on the ground floor. This floor also accommodates a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, an additional bedroom, and a family bathroom.
The first floor introduces a mezzanine lounge/study area illuminated by Velux roof lights, alongside two further double bedrooms and another bathroom. This layout provides flexibility in creating comfortable living spaces tailored to modern needs.
Recent additions on-site include a garage/workshop measuring approximately 5.35m by 3.76m plus an adjoining area of 4.56m by 2.30m with double timber doors and concrete flooring—a practical feature for those looking to undertake renovations or pursue hobbies.
Surrounding the barns is vast potential for landscaping; currently, the gently sloping grassed area offers picturesque views of the surrounding countryside. Future owners might envision private gardens or even a small orchard, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and recreational opportunities.
Located just outside Exmoor National Park but within easy reach of local amenities in Bratton Fleming—including shops and schools—this site combines rural charm with accessibility to larger towns like Barnstaple and South Molton for more comprehensive services. The proximity to major transport links (such as the A399) provides convenient access to Exeter's rail services and M5 motorway connections.
This property not only presents an exciting renovation opportunity but also offers investment potential given its attractive location amidst Devon's diverse countryside rich in outdoor pursuits from walking and cycling to fishing and golfing—all defining features that make this area appealing for lifestyle-focused buyers or investors looking to capitalize on regional demand for quality residential properties.
