INTRODUCTION
A rare opportunity to purchase a private and well-situated smallholding close to the popular village of Tedburn St Mary and the city of Exeter, centred on a large barn conversion and an excellent range of adaptable outbuildings, together with extensive surrounding lands totalling around 19.74 acres. The holding offers the opportunity for improvement and/or alternative development opportunities (subject to necessary planning consents).

DESCRIPTIONS
Coming to the market for the first time since its creation, the farmstead (comprising a courtyard of modern agricultural and equestrian buildings) was first constructed around 25 years ago. The dwelling was later converted in two phases out of one of the buildings, between 2000 and 2013 when the works were completed. The remaining buildings provide adaptable covered space, and may themselves offer potential for alternative uses (subject to all necessary planning permission/s). The holding would be suited to those with agricultural/smallholding, equestrian or environmental interests.

The Barn Conversion:
This has been converted from a former steel framed agricultural building, with some insulated and rendered block work, and some insulated timber frame construction to 1st floor, beneath a pitched fibre cement roof. It was originally converted as a first floor flat accessed via the external metal staircase to the north, and accordingly still benefits from living areas and kitchen facilities on both floors, providing for flexible living or letting income potential if desired. The accommodation extends to approx. 309.4 sq.m. (3,331 sq.ft.) and may be further described as follows (see accompanying floor plan for approximate room dimensions):

The Outbuildings:
These lie to the west of the barn conversion, all fronting onto the central concreted yard, which itself is accessed via a hardened private trackway leading from the public highway to the south, “Five Mile Hill” (the former A30). The buildings may be further described as follows:-

Building 1 – 4-bay steel portal framed general purpose building with pitched fibre cement roof, block work to part height and profile steel cladding over to three sides. To the front, there is one open bay and timber space boarding over the remainder. Concrete floor throughout.

Building 3 – workshop and loose houses of steel framed construction with block work to part height and timber space boarding or profile steel cladding over, beneath a pitched fire cement roof, with concreted floors. Divided internally into two sections by a OSB boarded internal wall.

Building 4 – further range of loose boxes of similar construction comprising two loose boxes and a tack room.

Building 5 – block built garden store.

Some of the buildings may offer potential for alternative uses, such as conversion to residential accommodation, subject to all necessary planning consents/approvals first being obtained.

The Land:
This comprises mainly of productive permanent pasture land, divided into convenient field enclosures, together with some attractive areas of woodland, particularly to the roadside edge through which the private driveway runs. The boundaries are generally characterised by traditional banks and hedgerows, together with some stock fencing. The holding extends in total to around 19.74 acres or thereabouts, as shown for identification purposes only on the accompanying site plan.

Planning Permission: The conversion works to create the dwelling were not undertaken with planning permission, however the vendors have obtained two Certificates of Lawful Existing Use or Development (CLEUD’s) which serve to make lawful and regularise the conversion works that have been undertaken.

Planning Ref’s: 10/03263/CLDE and 24/01082/CLDE

The vendors undertake to pay for a suitable indemnity policy in this respect, if required by a buyer. Prospective purchasers should be aware that borrowing against the property using conventional lending institutions may be difficult.
