Property description & features
- A level 1.6 acre village edge development site
- Outline planning for 10 dwellings
- Looking out over countryside with some Dartmoor views
- Excellent opportunity to create quality homes
- Potential phase 2 (STP)
- Joint ventures welcome
On the edge of the pretty Devon village of Folly Gate, just 3 miles from Okehampton is this 1.6 acre development site for 10 dwellings. It has outline planning for 10 units, passed at appeal in September 2021. Due to the size and location of the site, it warrants building some quality housing, rather than more regulation homes to make the most of the plot sizes and rare village edge location.
The planning is outline only and therefore the final site layouts and house styles are yet to be determined which gives excellent scope for a developer to make the most of the site. In the agents’ opinion, a mix of 3 and 4 bedroom barn conversion style new builds would fit in well in the locality whilst creating a point of difference and raising values beyond a standard house build. As part of the planning, 4 dwellings are full open market and 6 are to be sold at a 20% discount. There is no restriction on the values (as long as they’re correctly discounted) and therefore there is an opportunity to create further high quality dwellings to compliment to the site.
There is surrounding land available to run services (such as a new sewerage line to the main foul) in place but all other services will need to be investigated by the buyer. The land owners also own the adjacent field and this may too come forward for planning and as such, a deal could be done across the two sites (STP).
Agents’ Notes:
1. The owners of the land would be prepared to enter into a joint venture should suitable terms be reached.
2. The “Phase 2” land is within the same ownership and a “subject to planning” purchase/joint venture deal is welcomed.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
