Set within 4.77 acres on the edge of Exmoor, this plot comes with approved planning (ref 78197) for a new 107 sqm three-bedroom detached bungalow. The scheme includes open-plan living, ensuite to the master, family bathroom, cloakroom, two parking spaces and space for a private garden — mains water and electricity are already connected to the site.
The holding is partly laid out for small-scale livestock and productive planting: stables with running water, areas for sheep, chickens and goats, a 25-tree orchard, vegetable plots and 2,500 recently planted trees. A timber mobile home and outbuildings provide temporary accommodation, workshop/storage and utility space; the mobile unit must be removed once the new dwelling is complete, per the planning consent.
Practical considerations include the need for private drainage via a septic tank, and heating provision specified as an air source heat pump. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow and the driveway is privately owned by a neighbour, although legal right of access is in place. The plot sits roughly 20 minutes from Barnstaple and close to coastal villages, offering rural seclusion with reasonable road links.
This opportunity will suit buyers seeking a self-contained smallholding or a brand-new countryside home with significant outdoor space and development certainty. It is less suitable for those requiring fast internet, immediate permanent on-site accommodation, or unrestricted independent access without shared driveway arrangements.
