Luscombe Maye presents a promising opportunity with the Cattle Buildings at Great Cotton Farm, located on the fringes of Dartmouth. This property offers full planning consent for the conversion of existing farm structures into seven residential units, authorized under Class Q regulations. This transformation not only aims to enhance the site's aesthetic appeal with modern design elements but also incorporates sustainable landscaping and biodiversity improvements.
The proposed development includes converting a significant silage barn into four three-bedroom units, each spanning approximately 100 square meters. Additionally, a cluster of three smaller dairy buildings will be repurposed into two one-bedroom and one two-bedroom units, providing diverse living options that cater to various demographics. A structural appraisal by HB Surveying Ltd supports the viability of this project, confirming that the barns are structurally sound for conversion while preserving their original materials—a key advantage for cost-effective renovation.
The site has been meticulously evaluated, with detailed elevation drawings and floor plans outlining the anticipated layout and integrations. Ecological considerations have also been made; an appraisal indicates no adverse effects on protected species while including provisions for local wildlife through bat and bird box installations.
Dartmouth itself is steeped in history and charm, nestled within a scenic landscape defined by wooded hillsides and the picturesque River Dart. The town's rich heritage is showcased in its medieval architecture, including notable sites like the Cherub pub and Agincourt House. Additionally, residents can enjoy a vibrant atmosphere filled with unique shops, bistros, and a variety of recreational activities such as sailing and fishing.
With essential services such as water and electricity available nearby, new owners will find it straightforward to establish utilities on-site. This property represents not only an investment in residential development but also an opportunity to contribute to one of the region's most admired locales. For those seeking a project with solid renovation potential in an area that thrives on tourism and natural beauty, this offering holds significant promise.
