Our Summary

• There is an attached Grade II listed barn with potential to convert to ancillary accommodation (subject to planning permission), there is also an attached two storey granary building, which incorporates workshops/stores as well as a former cow sheds which have lost their roofs
• We understand that plans have been drawn up for a proposed conversion of the period barn into ancillary accommodation or a potential holiday let (subject to planning permission)
• Barn for conversion with 2
• Consent was achieved in November 2022 under North Devon Council, planning reference 76254, for conversion of this steel framed barn into a two-storey detached dwelling, with accommodation arranged on a reverse living basis, in order that the reception area enjoys the best of the wonderful views
• We understand that planning permission was granted at the same time as the two cottages adjoining, which have since been converted
• In the opinion of the vendor’s architect, consent to convert the Shippen has commenced, and some internal works have already been undertaken
• The original consent for the three units, was as holiday accommodation, but this was overturned to a residential consent covered in two planning references, under North Devon Council, 20150 (dated 14/02/1995) and 1042/1(dated 14/11/1995)
• Irrespective of any extension, there appears to be scope to convert the loft space, and possibly therefore create four bedrooms in total
• It is recommended that any prospective purchaser, seeks their own advice as to the proposed internal layout of the accommodation to suit their own requirements (subject to planning)
• There is no garden to the rear of the property but there will be access rights for conversion/ongoing maintenance purposes
