A substantial stone barn with detailed planning permission offers an exceptional chance to create an individual family home in a peaceful Devon setting. The approved conversion proposes around 5,000 sqft of accommodation, five bedrooms, three en-suite bathrooms and a self-contained annexe, all set within about 3 acres of predominantly grazing land with wide countryside views.
The site benefits from existing PV panels producing income, mains electricity and water, and planning permission granted May 2025 (App No. 24/2220/FUL). Ancillary proposals include a drive-through carport and garage/workshop, generous parking and landscaping; the barn is not listed which simplifies the conversion process.
Buyers should note practical requirements: the access is via a long unmade lane shared with three other properties with a contribution liability for upkeep, and a new treatment plant (sewage) will need installing. The barn is substantial and will require significant building work to complete the approved conversion and fit-out.
Positioned close to Axminster with rail links to Exeter and London, and within reach of the Jurassic Coast, the location suits families seeking countryside living with good schooling nearby, or buyers looking for a high-value bespoke rural property with development potential.
