Set on about 0.74 acres on the eastern edge of Galmington Farm, this large agricultural barn sits in open North Devon countryside with strong privacy and panoramic rural outlooks. Full planning was granted on 5 April 2023 (Torridge ref 1/1188/2022/FUL) for a contemporary five‑bedroom detached house, creating a rare chance to build a substantial family home in a tranquil setting. Services include mains water and planning for septic tank drainage; the plot is large enough for gardens, landscaping and small‑scale hobby farming.
The provision of full planning permission removes a major hurdle and accelerates delivery for buyers who want to progress a bespoke conversion or rebuild. The proposed layout includes large open‑plan living, separate sitting room, snug/garden room and study, offering flexible family accommodation and generous internal space (circa 1,350 sq ft as proposed).
Buyers should note practical constraints of the site: there is no mobile signal and broadband speeds are very slow, so remote working will need alternative solutions. The location is quiet and relatively isolated, with low local services density (area classified as remoter communities and deprived), which suits those prioritising peace over urban convenience. Drainage is by septic system as per planning. This is a distinctive opportunity for a purchaser seeking a countryside project with planning already in place.
