Full planning permission (ref: 24/0433/FUL) has been granted for the conversion of a traditional agricultural building into a substantial four-bedroom home of approximately 2,583 sq ft (240 sqm).
The approved plans provide for a striking residence blending period charm with contemporary living. The proposed layout includes three ensuite bedrooms and a further double bedroom, together with a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. The ground floor will also accommodate a lounge, utility room, and home office, while a sympathetic timber-framed extension will enhance the building’s original character.
Significant preparatory work has already been completed, with conditions from a previous planning application (20/0199/FUL) discharged, including those relating to archaeology, fencing, landscaping, and courtyard surface finishes. A new private access road has been approved as part of the scheme, ensuring a sweeping and exclusive approach.
This barn presents an opportunity to create a bespoke family home in a peaceful yet accessible East Devon setting. For those wishing to explore a grand design concept, there may be scope (subject to the necessary consents) to combine with Lot 2 to form one impressive single residence.
