Set on about 0.74 acres in rolling North Devon countryside, this large agricultural barn plot has full planning to deliver a contemporary five-bedroom detached home. The site sits privately on the edge of Galmington Farm with open rural views, generous outdoor space and scope for landscaping or small-scale hobby farming.
Planning permission was granted on 5 April 2023 (Torridge ref 1/1188/2022/FUL) for a substantial open-plan living design with separate sitting room, snug/garden room and study. Mains water is available and permission covers septic tank drainage; the existing barn and outbuildings provide storage during development or offer conversion potential subject to permissions.
Practical limitations are important to note: the location is remote with no mobile signal and very slow broadband, and the wider area records higher deprivation statistics. These factors suit buyers seeking rural seclusion rather than connectivity-dependent living. Flood risk is low and crime is very low.
This is a rare rural development opportunity for a family seeking a bespoke home, or an investor/developer comfortable with countryside projects and on-site servicing needs. Full planning documents are available on the Torridge District Council website using the reference above for independent review.
