Situation & Amenities - Chantry farm overlooks the Taw Valley in North Devon with far reaching views towards Exmoor, the property is a short distance north of the village of Atherington which has a village church, whilst the neighbouring village of High Bickington offers a primary school, two village pubs, and Libbaton Golf Course. On the A377 Exeter Road nearby, there is a small supermarket and petrol station. The town of Barnstaple lies approximately 7 miles to the north and at Umberleigh (2.5 miles) there is a railway station with services to Barnstaple and Exeter. Exeter City Centre is around an hour away by car. Access to the North Devon Link Road (A361) is available at Barnstaple and South Molton (9 miles away). From the farm there is easy access to the Exmoor National Park, known for its hundreds of square miles of superb unspoilt scenery and the North Devon beaches of Instow, Westward Ho!, Putsborough, Saunton (with championship golf course), Croyde and Woolacombe are all within easy access. The A361 provides access from Barnstaple, in around 45 minutes, to Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway. Close by, Tiverton Parkway offers a fast service of trains to London (Paddington), in around 2 hours. The nearest international airports are at Bristol and Exeter. The area is well served by state and private schools, including West Buckland School, with local pick up points.
Description - This building presents elevations of stone, with brick surrounds to the window and door apertures, beneath a slate roof, with a range of solar panels that are currently disconnected. We understand that planning permission was granted at the same time as the two cottages adjoining, which have since been converted. In the opinion of the vendor’s architect, consent to convert the Shippen has commenced, and some internal works have already been undertaken. The original consent for the three units, was as holiday accommodation, but this was overturned to a residential consent covered in two planning references, under North Devon Council, 20150 (dated 14/02/1995) and 1042/1(dated 14/11/1995). Plans have been drawn up for the proposed scheme over the years, which include a single-storey, others include extensions (part of which would have replaced a former agricultural store that used to stand to the left of the Shippen as one looks at it from the access drive). Irrespective of any extension, there appears to be scope to convert the loft space, and possibly therefore create four bedrooms in total. It is recommended that any prospective purchaser, seeks their own advice as to the proposed internal layout of the accommodation to suit their own requirements (subject to planning). This property is being sold together with parking for several vehicles and private garden. There is no garden to the rear of the property but there will be access rights for conversion/ongoing maintenance purposes.
Services & Access - This lot will benefit from new connections for electricity, water and drainage.
Lot 2 [The Modern Barn] will own the freehold of the existing lower access drive but the new owners of lots 3,4 and 5 will enjoy right of way over the initial part of this driveway, which then becomes private to lot 2 only. The vendors intend to ensure that the width of said drive will be sufficient for any purchaser of lot 2 to be able to negotiate machinery over it to their property. Depending on how lot 6 (the land) is sold, there may well be other rights of way required over the early part of the driveway.
Tenure - The farm is owned freehold, vacant procession will be available from the completion date. We understand that some of the properties are already on separate titles but others may need to be separated as the property is sold.
