This traditional agricultural building presents a compelling opportunity for transformation, with full planning permission (ref: 24/0433/FUL) already secured for its conversion into a spacious four-bedroom residence spanning approximately 2,583 sq ft (240 sqm). The proposed design aims to harmoniously merge the rustic charm of the original structure with modern living requirements. Plans include three ensuite bedrooms and an additional double bedroom, complemented by an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. The ground floor is thoughtfully laid out to feature a lounge, utility room, and dedicated home office space. A carefully designed timber-framed extension will further enhance the property’s character while maintaining its historical essence.
Notably, significant preparatory work has been accomplished under previous planning considerations (20/0199/FUL), addressing crucial aspects such as archaeology and landscaping. An approved private access road will provide an elegant approach to the property. This barn conversion not only offers the chance to create a personalized family home in the serene East Devon countryside but also holds potential for expansion—there may be opportunities (subject to approvals) to integrate with Lot 2, resulting in an expansive single dwelling.
Situated in Lower Cheriton, this property benefits from excellent connectivity; major routes like the A30 and M5 are easily accessible, while Exeter Airport and Tiverton Parkway ensure convenient travel options to various destinations including London Paddington in just under two hours and thirty minutes. Residents will also appreciate the proximity to the exquisite Jurassic Coast, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
