Description

SITUATION

Brook Farm is situated in the parish of Ermington between the town of Ivybridge and the village of Yealmpton in the South Hams area of South Devon.

Ivybridge is about 3 miles to the north, Yealmpton about 3 miles to the south and the nearest city being Plymouth about 10 miles to the west.

DESCRIPTION

Extending to a total of 17.39 acres (7.04 hectares), Brook Farm comprises an equestrian/residential smallholding in a hidden location, yet within easy access of the A38 dual carriageway expressway, connecting to the M5 motorway and national road network.

Since the current owners acquired the property in 2014, they have carried out a significant amount of work to the property and this particularly applies to the land.

The former farmhouse (in need of modernisation and refurbishment) has been granted planning consent to be extended on the west elevations and for the existing barn (attached to the house on the east elevation) to be converted into residential accommodation (see "Planning Consents" below).

By reference to the floorplan the house extends to approximately 200.8 square metres (2,161 square feet) and the accommodation may be summarised as follows:-

Planning Consents in relation to the House, Detached Stone Barn and other buildings

Conditional planning consent (application number 3510/21/FUL) has been granted by South Hams District Council (SHDC) on 25 April 2022 for "extension and modifications to existing farmhouse, demolition of existing barn/store, erection of new store and annexed accommodation (resubmission of 1064/21/HHO)".

Planning consent (application number 21/1707/15/F) was also granted by SHDC on 19 October 2015 for "alterations to adjoining farmhouse for residential use. Conversion of barn to residential use. Change of use of existing farm shed for equestrian use (stables)".

The net internal area of the detached stone barn amounts to 60.68 square metres (652 square feet) and is located directly opposite the farm house. The proposed accommodation would include an extension on the south elevation to provide a kitchen/dining room, in addition to the two bedrooms, bathroom and living room proposed for the existing barn.
