Set in an idyllic hamlet setting, this large 0.23-acre plot benefits from full planning permission (ref: 24/01295/FULL) to replace a redundant commercial building with a single-storey, two-bedroom dwelling. The proposed design offers generous open-plan living and large windows to capture panoramic rural views across productive Devon farmland. Mains water and electricity are connected; a private drainage solution is expected with any build.
This is a strong opportunity for an investor or self-builder seeking value-add in a quiet location. The site is accessed from an adopted country lane and is enclosed by mature hedgerows and trees that enhance privacy and integrate the house into the landscape. The permission is currently the subject of a modest revision (ref: 25/01178/FULL) to alter the dwelling position — buyers should review the revised plans and council decision documents.
Material points to note: broadband speeds at the site are very slow, so planning for alternative connectivity (e.g., fixed wireless or satellite) may be required. The plot is in a remote hamlet with limited local services, though Bow (1.6 miles) and Crediton (7.5 miles) provide amenities, schools and transport links; Exeter is approximately 15 miles away. Prospective purchasers should allow for demolition of the existing commercial structure and installation of a private drainage system as part of construction costs.
In all, the site offers substantial uplift potential for the purchaser who can capitalise on planning consent, the elevated rural aspect and strong privacy. It will suit an experienced developer, a self-builder seeking a bespoke countryside home, or an investor targeting refurbishment and resale once built.
