Description
Set in the heart of the picturesque village of Atherington, on the edge of the Taw Valley, these two detached Grade II Listed stone buildings offer a rare opportunity for residential conversion, both benefiting from approved planning consent. The properties can be purchased together or individually.
The former Baptist Church measures approximately 29' x 20' internally, with an impressive 16' ceiling height, providing scope for a mezzanine floor if desired. A shared path leads past the Church to the Old School Room, which has an internal ground floor area of around 50' x 17' and a ceiling height of 14', again offering potential for a mezzanine. Between the two buildings lies a level, grassed former graveyard area, shaped in an 'L', which will be apportioned between the two units.
Both buildings have planning and Listed Building consent for residential use, granted by North Devon Council under application numbers 60960/1/2/3
Atherington is a charming, historic village centered around its ancient parish church and a small village square, home to a post office, local store, and hairdresser. Just over a mile south is High Bickington, offering a village school, local inns, and an 18-hole golf course. To the east, Umberleigh (approx. 1.5 miles) has another village school, a noted inn, and a train station on the Barnstaple–Exeter Sprinter line.
For wider access, South Molton is about 8 miles east with direct access to the A361/North Devon Link Road, while Barnstaple, around 8 miles north, serves as North Devon’s administrative and commercial hub, offering shopping, leisure facilities, and excellent road links. The dramatic North Devon coastline, with its sandy beaches, cliffs, and renowned golf courses at Saunton, Croyde, Putsborough, and Instow, lies just 5–8 miles to the west.
This is a unique chance to transform two historic buildings in a highly sought-after location, combining character, scale, and development potential in one of North Devon’s most charming villages.
