A substantial rural development opportunity with deemed Class Q prior approval for conversion to a single dwelling plus detached store. The site extends to approximately 5.54 acres in total (also available as Lot 1 at 0.28 acres), giving scope for a private home with extensive land or a smaller plot purchase. Deemed consent (Ref: 24/1665/PDQ) was granted on 27 November 2024 for change of use of two agricultural buildings to a single dwelling (Use Class C3).
The principal building is large (approx. 45’ x 45’) of steel, galvanised iron and fibre cement/asbestos construction proposed as a 4-bed dwelling; an adjacent stone and metal store is identified as domestic/wood store and a third structure is to be demolished. Services are not currently connected — mains water and electricity are understood to be nearby but purchasers must verify connections and costs. There is suspected asbestos in fibre cement sheets; specialist survey and removal will be necessary if present.
Access is via a right of way shown on the plan. If Lot 1 is bought separately, the purchaser will be responsible for erecting and maintaining a stock-proof boundary as marked. The property sits in attractive farmland near Feniton (approx. 1.5 miles) with Honiton about 4.4 miles away, offering countryside seclusion while retaining good road and rail links.
This is best suited to buyers with conversion experience, developers comfortable with rural Class Q works, or investors seeking a countryside project. Important practical points — utility connections, potential asbestos, fencing obligation and costs of conversion — should be clarified before offer.
