Set in a secluded pocket of Stokeinteignhead, this substantial agricultural barn benefits from Class Q planning permission (Ref: 25/00475/NPA) granted 21 March 2025 for a four-bedroom conversion of approximately 400–450 sqm. The existing steel portal frame (built 2001) and timber cladding present a robust starting point for a large bespoke countryside home with significant internal space. The plot offers extensive hardstanding and additional land to the south suitable for gardens, parking and landscaping.
The location will appeal to buyers seeking rural tranquillity without isolation: very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, within easy driving distance of Newton Abbot rail links and Devon’s coastal towns. The village has an active community, a good primary school, shop, pub and bridleways for country pursuits. Flood risk is recorded as none, and tenure is freehold.
Important practical points are straightforward: there are currently no mains services connected, and access is via a shared private track. Any conversion will require utility connections and compliance with the approved Class Q conditions and local authority requirements. Buyers should budget for full conversion costs, external landscaping and any planning pre-commencement obligations.
For those seeking a large, characterful country conversion with planning already in place, this site offers rare scale and privacy at an accessible price point. It is best suited to a purchaser prepared to manage a significant build project or an investor targeting high-value rural residential conversion.
