Ready-made stables and temporary shepherd’s hut consent on secluded 5.4-acre holding.
Approximately 5.4 acres of south-facing pasture with far-reaching Dartmoor views
Set in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, this freehold equestrian holding extends to approximately 5.4 acres of south-facing, gently sloping pasture with far-reaching moorland views. A recently built stable block provides eight loose boxes, three foaling boxes, a tack room, store and hay barn — a ready-made base for a pony stud, livery or small breeding operation.
Services are off-grid: electricity via generator and solar panels, and water from a private borehole. In April 2024 planning permission was granted on appeal for temporary (three-year) mixed equine and residential use and siting of a shepherd’s hut, with occupation linked to a person employed in an equestrian business. The permission is time-limited and occupation-restricted; purchasers should note this constraint when considering longer-term residential plans.
The site is accessed via a private driveway/right of way and sits in an isolated hamlet setting, offering privacy and low local crime rates. Practical drawbacks include very slow broadband, average mobile signal and no mains services — factors important for anyone needing regular remote connectivity or mains utilities. The combination of modern stabling, strong location and temporary residential consent will suit buyers seeking an operational equine base, seasonal worker accommodation or a small-scale rural investment, but not those requiring immediate permanent residential use or full-service utilities.
Interested parties should verify planning details, rights of way and service arrangements independently. The property lies about four miles from Ashburton for local shops, with wider facilities in Newton Abbot and convenient access to the A38.
