Description
The Property - Set back from the A30 yet conveniently positioned, the property offers easy access and is within a short drive of the main A303 London–Exeter route, while the attractive Jurassic coastline is only around 15 miles away.
The building currently comprises an expansive block-built garage with a pitched roof and useful eaves storage. It is entered via an up-and-over door to the front, with a separate pedestrian door alongside.
The space may suit a wide range of uses, including additional secure parking, storage, hobby or studio space, or potentially future development, subject to the necessary consents and alterations.
Outside - At the front, a driveway area provides additional parking and access to the garage itself.
At the rear, French doors open onto external steps leading down to a private, sunny garden area.
Situation - Yarcombe is a small rural village in East Devon, England, located in the scenic Yarty Valley on the southern edge of the Blackdown Hills (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - now known as a National Landscape). It sits close to the A30 between the towns of Honiton and Chard. The village is small, with a population of around 500, and is centred around a Norman church (St John the Baptist), a village hall, and a historic inn.
It remains a strongly agricultural community, with surrounding farms and countryside playing a major role in local life and employment. The wider parish includes scattered hamlets and rural homes, giving it a dispersed, countryside character rather than a dense village centre. Yarcombe is also known for its countryside walking routes, and traditional village events, reflecting a close-knit rural community in the Devon countryside.
There are excellent road links nearby, connecting with the A303, A358 and onto the M5 at Taunton, whilst the beautiful Jurassic coastline is only 15 miles away.
