Situated in a peaceful, sleepy hamlet of half a dozen properties on a quiet, country lane, Acorn Barn blends the tranquillity of a rural setting with close proximity to a town. This is an superb opportunity to purchase a plot with full planning for either a new build or conversion that feels a long way from the bustle of everyday life, yet is less than 3 miles from all the amenities at Roundswell, Barnstaple.
Nestled on the edge of this former traditional yard setting the plot extends to just under half an acre, enjoying views over the surrounding countryside.
Both planning applications were positively received by the local authority and completed smoothly - providing real choice as to how the site is developed - or indeed opportunity to re/apply amend. Currently, the two opportunities are as follows:-
1) Full residential planning consent was granted in November 2022 for a conversion of the existing barn into a large two storey 5 bedroomed dwelling extending to about 360 sq m (3873 sq ft).
OR
2) Full residential planning consent has been granted in March 2023 for a replacement 4/5 bedroomed dwelling to make better use of the footprint and space providing a conventional and more traditional design to the finished home. - The proposed accommodation extending to about 178 sq m (1912 sq ft).
The existing barn extends to approx. 340.8 sq m (3668 sq ft).
It is also thought there may be the scope to obtain consent for more than one dwelling, if required.
In all, Acorn Barn extends to approx. 0.49 of an Acre. Further land up to an additional 0.54 acres is available by negotiation. (1.03 Acres in Total). Please contact us to discuss further.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
