Description

Luscombe Maye is pleased to present a promising development opportunity at Place Barton Barns in the quaint village of Moreleigh. This property boasts Full Planning Consent for the transformation of two agricultural structures into five residential units, approved under Class Q regulations. The proposed designs focus on modern living while integrating sustainable practices, including renewable energy solutions and biodiversity enhancements. **Barn 1** is set to be converted into four distinctive homes, each offering approximately 95 sqm of living space. Plans include two bedrooms per unit—one featuring an en-suite bathroom—and a family bathroom. The layout facilitates an open-plan kitchen and living area, supplemented by a utility room and a study. Aesthetic upgrades will enhance the exterior with zinc roof cladding and vertical timber finishes, complemented by high-quality powder-coated aluminium windows and doors. **Barn 2** presents an even broader scope for renovation, with plans to create a single spacious residence that accommodates five bedrooms, three of which are en-suite. This layout includes generously sized communal areas such as a kitchen/living/dining room, a games room, and additional flexible spaces like an office and snug. Central to this design is a covered courtyard that brings natural light and ventilation into the heart of the home. Externally, similar enhancements will be made as with Barn 1, ensuring cohesion in appearance while incorporating modern conveniences like electric vehicle charging points and air source heat pumps. Situated within Moreleigh—about six miles south of Totnes and conveniently located near major roads—the property benefits from easy access to both urban amenities and rural charm. The village fosters a strong community atmosphere with social events and sporting activities centered around establishments like the New Inn, known for its welcoming ambiance. Nearby towns such as Totnes, Kingsbridge, and Dartmouth offer excellent shopping options along with recreational facilities. For those commuting or traveling further afield, Totnes railway station provides mainline connections to London in approximately three-and-a-half hours. Basic services such as water and electricity are available nearby; prospective buyers are encouraged to reach out to South West Water and Western Power for further details regarding connection options. This property not only offers significant potential through its planned renovations but also situates itself within a desirable location poised for growth—making it an excellent investment prospect in today’s market.
