INTRODUCTION

An exciting opportunity to acquire a residential development site in a highly accessible position on the edge of Ivybridge, combining the potential to create a rural detached home with a generous area of adjoining pasture land. The property offers an attractive proposition for developers, investors or owner-occupiers seeking to create a contemporary home in a countryside setting with the convenience of being close to Ivybridge.

DESCRIPTION

The property comprises an existing agricultural building set within a rural location on the fringe of Ivybridge, together with approximately 3.08 acres (1.25 hectares) of pasture. The building benefits from planning consent for demolition and replacement with a substantial two-bedroom detached dwelling, with associated parking and amenity areas, offering purchasers the opportunity to create a well-proportioned home in an accessible countryside setting.

Superbly positioned on the fringe of Ivybridge, the site offers an ideal prospect for a self-builder or small developer to create a bespoke home, whilst remaining within easy reach of Ivybridge, the A38 and the wider amenities of Plymouth and the South Hams.

SITUATION

Its excellent transport links include close proximity to the A38 dual carriageway, providing easy access to Plymouth to the west and the M5 at Exeter to the east.

The town offers a wealth of amenities, with most shops and services centred around Fore Street and Glanville’s Mill, the main shopping centre. Residents can enjoy a variety of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, as well as scenic walks along the River Erme which winds through the town centre. The area is well served by local schools, with Ivybridge Community College being a highly regarded secondary school.

PLANNING CONSENT

Full planning permission has been granted by South Hams District Council under application reference 1868/25/FUL, dated 4 June 2026, for the demolition of the existing agricultural building and its replacement with a single-storey, two-bedroom detached dwelling.

The planning permission follows a previous approval under Class Q.

The approved scheme comprises a detached single-storey dwelling extending to approximately 95 sq m Gross Internal Area, together with associated vehicular access, parking, private residential curtilage and external works. The proposed accommodation provides two bedrooms alongside the principal living accommodation and is designed to make effective use of the existing developed footprint.

The proposals also incorporate a range of sustainable energy measures, including solar photovoltaic panels, an air source heat pump and electric vehicle charging provision.

We believe that all elements have been constructed with planning consent or have been in place for sufficient time that a certificate of lawful existing use could be secured.

Prospective buyers are urged to review the decision notice and officer’s report along with any related application documents, to have a thorough understanding of the consent granted.

DEVELOPMENT UPLIFT CLAUSE

The property will be sold subject to a Development Uplift Clause, providing for an agreed payment in the event of any future increase in value arising from additional development of the property.

The clause will apply to any future planning consent or development opportunity beyond the existing planning consent, which will be expressly excluded. Full details, including the trigger, percentage and duration, can be discussed with the selling agents.

METHOD OF SALE

The property is offered for sale by Private Treaty.
