Description - An excellent opportunity to acquire this individual attached two storey period building with planning permission to convert into three full residential dwellings. Located in a tucked away position, this former workshop and coach house is attached to rear of a period Victorian building and is understood to have been once used as a gallery, a former solicitor's office and also a wine merchants.

This is an ideal prospect for a buyer who is looking for a unique property to develop and put their stamp on with the finished products being ideal for residential letting, holiday letting or sold individually once completed.

Planning Permission - In December 2019, full planning permission was granted to allow for the conversion of this redundant building into three properties which include a one bedroom, two storey mews house, a two bedroom, two storey mews house and a one bedroom single storey ground floor apartment.

Full details regarding the planning can be found on North Devon planning website using the planning reference 66952. Material commencement has been secured to hold the consent.

We understand the architects initial design to achieve planning permission gave each property open plan living/kitchen areas, bedrooms and bathrooms but could be adapted to create two larger properties if required subject to the relevant planning amendments.

Special Note - The Planning Decision Notice states that the planning expired on the 2nd December 2022. However, we have a letter from the North Devon Council's solicitor dated 7th March 2023 which states the following; 'I understand from Andrew Howard (Principal Building Control Surveyor) that the building regulation application commencement date was 10th October 2022'.

Directions - Leave Barnstaple on the A361 following the signs for Ilfracombe via Braunton. As you enter the town take the right hand turn at the roundabout into Church Road, then take the first left into Wilder Road. Turn Right into Brookfield Road where the property can be found at the end of this no through road. Alternately the property can be found on foot by walking through a covered walkway between 60 and 61 High Street.
