This large rural holding in Pyworthy is offered with full planning permission to create four four‑bedroom homes and a two‑bedroom holiday cottage across converted barns. The site extends to just over 3.33 acres, sits in an elevated position with far‑reaching countryside views, and includes a compact yard, existing stone and agricultural outbuildings, and a pond.
The permissions (Torridge District Council refs 1/0045/2022/FUL, 1/0046/2022/FUL and 1/0053/2022/FUL) allow conversion rather than rebuild, reducing construction risk and preserving character. Services noted include mains water and electricity and private foul drainage already installed to keep permissions active. The location is rural and remote but within two miles of Holsworthy and about nine miles from the North Cornish coast.
Important constraints and obligations are attached to the planning consents: reserved matters, access, landscaping, drainage and ecological mitigation must be approved and implemented, and one northerly barn is to be removed on completion. Broadband is very slow despite excellent mobile signal; the wider area is classified as remoter/agricultural and has a lower proportion of degree‑educated residents. Purchasers should expect developer‑level obligations, site preparation and construction costs before any saleable income is realised.
This is a clear development and investment opportunity for a buyer with planning experience or a developer seeking a rural conversion project. The permissions and sizeable plot give scope to create high‑quality countryside homes and a holiday let, but buyers must allow budget and time for reserved matters, ecology mitigation, drainage works and access improvements.
