Situation - The site is located at Ashton, a small rural hamlet around 2 miles to the southeast of Callington and just over a mile to the west of the popular village of St Dominick. The property is within easy reach of the beautiful Tamar Valley National Landscape (formerly AONB) and the river Tamar itself, with access to the river itself available at Cargreen (6 miles) or Calstock (7 miles).

The town of Callington offers a comprehensive range of amenities including supermarkets, schools, doctors and veterinary surgeries. Tavistock, 11.5 miles away, is a thriving market town in West Devon at the foothills of Dartmoor National Park, offering a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly. The maritime city of Plymouth is 14 miles to the south and Exeter lies 53 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.

Description - This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a rural development site with full planning consent in place for the creation of two new open-market homes through the conversion of some redundant farm buildings. The principal conversion is of a 2-storey, largely traditional stone barn with attractive stone detailing and slated roof, into a substantial 5-double-bedroom, 4-bathroom dwelling totalling some 2,000sq.ft. Large gardens will surround the barn and there will be provision for extensive parking within a large yard on its western side, in addition to several general-purpose outbuildings including a former bullpen, Nissen hut and linhay.

The second conversion is of a former milking parlour, which we understand was constructed during the 1970s of blockwork, and an adjacent stone barn. The resulting dwelling will be a contemporary cottage-style dwelling of around 1,000sq.ft, comprising two double bedrooms (including a sizeable master suite with dressing space and an en-suite), a kitchen/diner, a separate living room and a standalone bathroom. Externally, again there will be a garden and provision for parking, as well as a blockwork shippon to the northeast of the milking parlour itself. In all, the site amounts to approximately 0.94 acres.

Planning Consent - Full planning consent was granted by Cornwall Council on 12th July 2024, under application reference PA24/02462, for the "Conversion of barns to form 2no. dwellinghouses". A complete package of the relevant planning documentation, including technical materials and a full list of the conditions of the consent, can be obtained from the Council's planning portal, , or by enquiry with Stags.
