Summary - Yarnscombe, Barnstaple EX31 3NB
1 bed 1 bath Land
Create a contemporary three-bedroom home with sweeping rural and distant sea views.
Full planning permission for a single-storey three-bedroom dwelling (Ref: 1/0562/2024/FUL)
This rare land parcel in North Devon is offered in two lots, with full planning permission granted (22 Aug 2024, Torridge DC Ref: 1/0562/2024/FUL) to replace an agricultural building with a single-storey, L-shaped three-bedroom home. The approved design (approx. 150m²) includes an open-plan living/kitchen/dining area, home office, large glazing for far-reaching views and a green roof, set within circa 9.2 acres (Lot 1) or up to about 15 acres (Lot 2).
The site delivers genuine privacy and rural character: tree-lined entrance, pasture, two natural ponds and panoramic countryside with distant sea glimpses. A new 250m stone track is planned for access and off-street parking. Mains water and electricity are understood to be nearby; a new private drainage system (septic tank or treatment plant) will be required.
Practical considerations are clear and important. Broadband speeds are very slow and the location is remote from urban centres, although mobile signal is excellent. The sale is freehold but the property is subject to existing wayleaves, rights of way and agreements. Prospective buyers should budget for the new drainage installation and any landscaping or finishing works to the proposed build.
This opportunity suits buyers seeking a self-build or bespoke countryside home, or investors looking to realise value from an approved residential conversion. The combination of permission in place, substantial land, and striking outlook offers scope for a sympathetic contemporary residence set within an established farming landscape.
