A modern barn with planning approval for conversion to a residential dwelling together with a block of gently sloping pasture land. Plans for hall, utility, open-plan kitchen/dining/living room and 3 bedrooms (all en-suite). Total about 7.80 acres.

Situation - The barn and land is set on the western outskirts of the small village of Charles, a settlement set on the western side of the Bray Valley. The nearby village of Brayford lies about two miles away and has a primary school and village hall whilst the village of West Buckland, which is well known for its school, is within easy reach. Approximately six miles to the south is the historic market town of South Molton, which boasts an excellent range of day-to-day amenities including shopping, banking and schooling to secondary level. The town still holds weekly livestock and twice weekly pannier markets. 
The regional centre and ancient borough of Barnstaple is about eight miles to the west and has an extensive range of amenities. The A361 lies just to the north of South Molton and links to Tiverton and the M5 (Junction 27) to the east where there is also a station on the London Paddington line.
The magnificent Exmoor National Park is close by and the North Devon coastline is within easy reach by car.

Description - The barn provides an exciting opportunity to create an individual rural home with the added benefit of an adjoining block of gently sloping and well-fenced pasture land with the whole property approaching 8 acres. Set on a level site at the northern end of the land, the barn is a modern-style building of steel farmed construction and currently houses a run of modular stable partitions which are not included in the sale and will be removed by the vendor.

Planning Permission - Planning approval was granted by North Devon Council on 22th December, 2025 for the CONVERSION OF REDUNDANT RURAL BUILDING TO DWELLING. (Reference 80983). Further details and plans are available via the Council's planning portal at northdevon.gov.uk.

Approved Plans - The plans indicate provision for an open car port with the accommodation comprising an entrance hall, utility room, open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, three double bedrooms (all en-suite) with the master bedroom also having a dressing room.
