Situation - The site is an existing redundant and disused barn located in Kingscott, near Great Torrington. Kingscott is a small hamlet close to the rural settlement and civil parish of St Giles in the Wood. The site is within walking distance (approximately 1km) of the village and its bus/ public transport links and community facilities. The site is also within cycling distance (2.5 miles) of the main centre of Great Torrington which has a wide range of amenities for its size including butchers, bakeries, Post Office, greengrocers, public houses, places of worship and the renowned Plough Arts Centre, which combines theatre, cinema, art gallery and more. There are also primary and secondary schools, golf course and tourist attractions including RHS Rosemoor. The Tarka Trail is also nearby with many miles of delightful walking and cycling along the old railway line. Bideford offers a wider range of amenities including schooling for all ages (public and private) and 5 supermarkets. Barnstaple town offers all of the area's main business, shopping and commercial venues. There is also good transport opportunities via the A361 link road which connects the motorway or via rail and the Tarka Line.
Description - A wonderful opportunity to purchase two modern detached barns with consent on the larger of the two for conversion into a 5-bedroom unrestricted residential dwelling together with around 5 acres and boasting stunning countryside views in all directions with Dartmoor in the distance. Planning permission was achieved under Torridge District Council Planning Reference 1/0592/2023/FUL on 11th October 2023
The proposed gross internal floor space of the converted dwelling is around 337m2, which is about equal to the gross internal floor area of the existing barn. The vast floor area provided by the existing barn would allow for a good-sized 5-bedroom family house on the site, complete with a separate home office to represent current working patterns and an open plan living, kitchen, and dining room to match modern lifestyle trends. There will be a good-sized garden space comparable with the size of the proposed residence, plenty of off-street parking, and the second detached barn with attached garages could be transformed into further garaging/studio/annex/Airbnb, etc., subject to requisite planning clearance.
The front door of the dwelling would lead to a good size entrance lobby with boot and coat storage and that would give access to an open plan living, kitchen, dining area and separate lounge/ family room. The sleeping accommodation would be located on the North side of the building and all bedrooms would have ensuite facilities. A separate family bathroom would be provided for guests.
The walls would be encased in natural timber and painted, which is a popular local material. The windows and doors would be made of polyester powder coated aluminium, which is a high-quality window material and finish. The proposed barn design and look would be similar to that of the existing barn in order to represent and maintain the building's intrinsic agricultural and rural character and surroundings.
Services - It is envisaged that a new septic tank or sewage treatment plant will need to be installed.
Boundary Plan - A boundary plan which is not to scale, is included with these sale particulars for identification purposes only.
