///replays.poullution.rice

Lot 2 encompasses a semi-detached substantial stone barn occupying two storey’s under a pitched roof, with potential for a range of alternative uses. Historically serving as a milking parlour, livestock building and fodder store, the barn is of a traditional stone construction under a part slate part sheeted roof with numerous openings and doorways. Externally, the barn enjoys a plot with adjoining amenity space and private off-road parking direct from the highway.

The property is understood to benefit from a mains water and electrical connection however these services have not been routinely used for many years.

Whilst the building is currently agricultural in use, it offers potential for conversion to an alternative use, subject to obtaining planning consent. The vendors have sought pre-application advice from South Hams District Council, the Local Planning Authority, in October 2025. The specific advice requested related to the building being eligible under Class Q provisions to convert from agricultural to residential use; the advice was as follows:

The barns are traditional stone barns and from my initial look at them, appear to be in good structural condition. Agricultural use was also evident at the time of my visit, and so I would consider that the building is capable of being converted under class Q, if you can demonstrate as part of any application for prior approval that the proposal meets the permitted development criteria set out in Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO.

Any such application would need to include a Structural Survey to demonstrate that the building(s) can be converted to residential use without any further structural intervention. A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal will also be needed, and any further surveys if necessary, following the PEA.

Purchasers are advised to seek their own independent planning advice in relation to this matter.

Lot 2 is shaded blue on the sale plan.
