There is an excellent range of recreational facilities in the area, being near the boundary of the park, whether it is walking, riding or many other attractions. There is also access to the famous beaches and coast of North Devon, together with many equestrian and sporting opportunities throughout the area. At Tiverton, Tiverton Parkway offers a fast rail link to London Paddington in just over 2 hours as well as access to Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway.

DESCRIPTION
This charming barn presents elevations of stone beneath a corrugated tin roof. The ground floor benefits from two openings and original cobbled floor. There is a timber floor between the ground and first floor. Planning permission was granted on 18/08/22 under North Devon Council Planning Reference 75505 for conversion of the existing building in to a unrestricted residential dwelling. The proposed property would be two storey and incorporate on the ground floor open plan living room/kitchen with staircase rising to first floor where there would be three bedrooms, one en suite and family bathroom. Latest documentation relating to the application can be viewed on the North Devon Planning Website using the aforementioned planning reference for access. Externally the barn benefits from gated access off the lane, a sweeping drive leads to a large concrete hardstanding giving access to a large amount of parking.

SERVICES
Two private boreholes have been sunk by the vendor. Electricity to be installed by purchaser.

DIRECTIONS
W3W///reissued.pulp.income
If approaching from the A361 North Devon Link Road, follow the A399 in a northerly direction towards Ilfracombe, passing above the village of Brayford and following the main road to the Four Cross Way junction. Turn right at this junction, signed Challacombe and take the next turn right signposted Fullaford. Follow this road for about 1 mile into the bottom of the valley, cross the stream and the gated access to the barn can be seen on the right hand side as you climb the hill.

WATER SUPPLY
Two boreholes have been installed to deliver adequate drinking water supply - complete and in place, supplied by Lamare Services Ltd Water Engineers & Specialist off mains drinking water plant installers.

Lamare Services obtained the water quality test and have provided the specification and a quote for the installation of an appropriate water treatment plant, with buffer tanks etc, to provide an adequate supply for the house.

POWER SUPPLY
There are two options:
A - Connection to mains supply. The vendors obtained a quote for this from SSE.
B - Installing an off-grid solution. This was their preferred option as it aligns with the desire to be independent of mains services, and once installed would provide the power needs of the property 'free'. This was researched carefully and the quote and details of the provider they had selected Off-grid engineering, who offered an excellent solution for their needs, which included capacity sufficient for electric car charging. Their intention was to install the solar array with the battery storage and system management.

WASTE WATER/FOUL WATER TREATMENT
The vendors had planned to install a septic tank in the field below the property, in line with environmental requirements.

The rainwater soakaway to manage the roof run-off has already been installed, ready for connection to the barn once conversion is complete.

WAYLEAVES & RIGHTS OF WAY
