1 bed 1 bath Land
Character barn court with consent for two homes in the Otter Valley, 0.54 acre plot..
Conditional consent to convert barns to two dwellings (EDDC 23/2231/FUL)
A rare courtyard of traditional stone and slate agricultural buildings in the Otter Valley, offered with conditional full planning consent to convert to two dwellings. The site extends to approximately 0.54 acres and presents strong development potential for a buyer comfortable with a barn conversion project and rural working-site refurbishment.
Planning permission (EDDC ref 23/2231/FUL) was granted on 6 March 2024 for change of use and conversion to two dwellings, demolition of modern farm buildings, construction of a bat roost and formation of parking, gardens and landscaping — subject to 13 conditions. There is no Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) liability understood for the scheme. Mains services should be independently verified by prospective purchasers.
Notable constraints include a medium flood risk, a high local crime indicator, and a suspected presence of asbestos-containing fibre cement sheets in some outbuildings — professional surveys are recommended. The buildings are derelict in places and will require significant repair, refurbishment and compliance with planning conditions before occupation. The remote hamlet location provides privacy and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, but limited immediate amenities.
This opportunity is aimed at developers, investors or experienced self-builders seeking a characterful conversion within a designated Blackdown Hills National Landscape setting. The site’s conversion consent and large courtyard setting offer a clear route to two rural homes, but the project requires hands-on management, budget for remediation works, and navigation of the planning conditions and environmental obligations (including bat roost provision).
