This substantial plot at Avalon in Welcombe is offered with full planning permission (Torridge District Council application 1/0069/2025/FUL dated 13 May 2025) to convert an agricultural barn into a single dwelling. Elevated above the valley, the site delivers dramatic coastal and countryside views and sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a rare development opportunity in a sought-after village location near the Cornwall–Devon border.
The approved scheme retains the barn’s form and character and provides spacious open-plan living with bifold doors, a rear garden area and off-street parking. The building is steel-framed with wood cladding; the large gravelled yard offers parking or a potential patio, while the rear land is suitable for landscaping, a small orchard or additional garden (subject to relevant consents).
Practical considerations are clear: mains electric and water are understood to be nearby but prospective purchasers must verify connection availability and costs. The development may be liable for a Community Infrastructure Levy; buyers should confirm any charges. The site benefits from no flood risk, excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and very low local crime, but its remoter village setting means services and amenities are limited compared with urban locations.
This plot will suit a buyer seeking a bespoke home or holiday property with strong scenery and privacy, or a developer/investor able to manage service connections and any developer charges. The planning package reduces risk compared with a speculative consent, but purchasers must satisfy themselves on technical and statutory matters before exchange.
