Summary - 20, ST GEORGES ROAD EX32 7AU
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Development
Large town‑edge site with pre‑application positive for residential use.
Approximately 1.31 ha (circa 2.59 acres) contiguous development parcel
A substantial town‑edge development parcel in Barnstaple, offered freehold with vacant possession and direct highway frontage. The site of approximately 1.31 hectares (circa 2.59 acres as described) combines mostly brownfield frontage with a green former playing field to the rear and benefits from mains services on site. A recent pre‑application response (12 Feb 2024) indicates the principle of residential development is likely to be acceptable within the Barnstaple development boundary.
This is a clear opportunity for a developer or investor seeking a medium‑density residential scheme close to town amenities: the town centre is about 0.5 miles away, and local primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. The vendor has indicated the buildings could be demolished, subject to funding, so the site can be delivered cleared or uncleared depending on offer terms.
Known constraints are material and should be factored into proposals: the site is in a high flood‑risk area, and the locality records elevated deprivation levels. Prospective purchasers must undertake full technical due diligence on flood mitigation, access, and planning, and verify service capacities despite mains connections being present.
Offers are invited by informal tender (conditional or unconditional) with potential for phased acquisition if adjoining plots become available. This broad, contiguous parcel suits residential development, mixed use, or alternative uses subject to planning — attractive to buyers who can move quickly on planning and flood‑risk solutions.
