Summary - SHORLEIGH BARN TAWSTOCK BARNSTAPLE EX31 3HX
4 bed 2 bath Land
Spacious rural plot with planning for a substantial family home.
Planning granted for two-storey 4-bed conversion (Ref 78049)
A substantial timber-framed barn set on about 0.61 acre with confirmed planning (North Devon Council ref. 78049) to convert into a two-storey, 4‑bedroom family home of approximately 343 sq m (3,692 sq ft). The permitted scheme creates generous living space including an open-plan family/dining/kitchen, separate sitting and games rooms, gym and home office — with ground-floor space large enough to form a self-contained annexe subject to any required planning change.
The site sits on high ground with wide valley views towards Barnstaple and is offered freehold with mains electricity available in the lane and a private borehole already on site. External finishes are specified in the consent (timber cladding/dung boards, corrugated metal roof, timber/aluminium doors and windows). There is provision for ample off-street parking and generous garden areas; adjoining agricultural land may be available by separate negotiation for buyers seeking more acreage.
Practical considerations are clear: planning permission must be implemented within three years of the March 20, 2024 approval, and the approved drawings and materials must be followed. Proposed foul drainage is to a packaged treatment plant; central heating is to purchaser’s choice. There are cameras on site and viewings must be arranged by appointment — do not access without permission.
This is best suited to a buyer wanting a large, contemporary rural home or a developer/homeowner able to manage a full conversion. The plot and barn offer an immediate blank canvas with high internal volumes, but expect a significant construction programme and costs to complete the conversion and install services, plus slow local broadband speeds.
