Summary - Chantry House, Atherington, UMBERLEIGH EX37 9HN
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious modern barn with planning consent, 2.35 acres and far-reaching Exmoor views.
Planning consent granted Nov 2022 for 5-bed, reverse-living conversion
Chantry House is a substantial modern steel-framed barn set in about 2.35 acres with far-reaching Exmoor and Taw Valley views. Planning consent (North Devon Council ref 76254, Nov 2022) is already granted to convert the structure into a two-storey 5-bedroom home; the approved layout places five bedrooms and three bathrooms on the ground floor and living, kitchen/dining, study and cloakroom on the first floor to maximise the outlook.
The plot offers genuine scope: generous garden and paddock, ample off-street parking and room for landscaping or outbuildings. Practical services are partly in place — a private borehole is available, with provision for a mains water connection and a new electricity supply route, plus the option to join a new private drainage system.
Buyers should note this is a conversion opportunity rather than a ready house. The barn is held on a possessory title, forms part of a farm breakup, and the driveway ownership and rights of way are shared between lots (the lower access drive is freehold to this lot but other lots will have rights of way over part of it). Broadband is slow and the location is remote — ideal for privacy but less so for fast connectivity or frequent commuting.
This lot will suit purchasers seeking a rural conversion project with established planning in a secluded setting — families wanting long-term space, buyers after an equestrian or smallholding outpost, or investors aiming to complete the build. Costs and responsibilities associated with conversion, boundary fencing, services connections and shared access should be factored into offers.
