NORTHLEW DEVON EX20 3PD - FORMER MILKING PARLOUR FOR CONVERSION & c. 6 ACRES / 2.43 HECTARES

THE PROPERTY - EX20 3PD

The property comprises a former milking parlour with approximately 6 acres / 2.43 hectares of agricultural land located on the southern fringe of the rural village of Northlew, Nr Okehampton. The property has a Certificate of Lawfulness for commencement of the full approval to convert the former milking parlour into a 3 bedroom dwelling obtained under application 3815/16/FUL. The approved dwelling extends to c.98sqm / 1055sqft arranged over two storeys, located on the south edge of the property, accessed via an unmade track which also serves other properties. The agricultural land comprises two pastural fields. A public footpath runs north/south through the west field and offers pedestrian access to the village centre.

Our client subsequently submitted two applications in 2022. Application 3486/22/FUL for a new large 3 bedroom dwelling (c.216sqm/2325sqft) located c.50M to the east of the parlour and application 3651/22/FUL for a wellness centre located c.25M to the north of the former milking parlour. Both these applications are the subject to current appeals via written representations, for non-determination.

Our clients had intended to run a Wellness Centre from the property however their plans have now changed, hence the sale. Our clients will continue to progress the appeals until the property is sold (completed), thereafter the purchaser can choose to either continue with the appeals or not. In the event one or both are allowed before the property is sold, the benefit of the grant of planning permission will be included with the sale.
