This spacious modern barn presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment, currently holding consent for conversion into a single dwelling with potential for dual occupation. Nestled within 6 acres of picturesque pastureland, the property offers stunning views on the outskirts of Bratton Fleming, conveniently located near Barnstaple, Exmoor National Park, and the North Devon coastline.
The semi-rural setting places the barn less than a mile from the village center, where residents can access a range of amenities including primary schooling, a local community store, and regular bus services to nearby towns such as Barnstaple and Lynton. The region boasts educational options like the highly regarded West Buckland School just 5 miles to the south. The bustling market town of South Molton is approximately 11 miles away, providing additional local services and recreational facilities.
The barn's position within its own grounds captures lovely countryside views, with a private spur driveway leading up to it. Recent planning consent allows for various enhancements, including improved access routes. Planned ground floor accommodations encompass an entrance hall, cloakroom, open-plan living spaces comprising of a family room/dining room/kitchen with pantry, as well as utility and boot rooms. Additional areas include an office, snug, games room, and an en-suite fourth bedroom that also supports the possibility of creating a self-contained annexe.
Upstairs features a master bedroom with en-suite facilities and private terrace along with two further bedrooms—all designed with en-suites for convenience. The layout includes flexible spaces that could accommodate additional bedrooms if needed. Furthermore, the approved planning application allows for a detached double garage measuring 74 sqm.
Outside space is ample; while there’s extensive parking available thanks to the new driveway, there's also substantial garden area alongside a gently sloping paddock—ideal for grazing livestock or other uses.
Utilities are well established with mains electricity and water already connected; additionally, plans incorporate provisions for a private sewage treatment plant on-site.
This property's potential is enhanced by its location in North Devon District Council's jurisdiction and proximity to scenic landscapes—perfectly situated for those looking to invest in transforming an agricultural structure into a modern family home or capitalize on rental opportunities through dual occupancy arrangements. The groundwork has been laid: both landscaping requirements have largely been completed under current consents and there’s even discussion about future modifications which could involve redesigning elements of the existing structure.
