A delightful small equestrian unit, with fine views and perhaps with potential for other uses (STP).

Situation - The land is situated on the northern edge of the popular village of Bere Alston, within the beautiful Bere Peninsula with fine far reaching views towards Kit Hill and Calstock It lies within the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Bere Alston provides most local amenities and the railway station links nearby Plymouth with its large range of shops and mainline train services to Paddington in just over 3 hours. The location provides excellent opportunities for boating and other outdoor recreation. Weir Quay lies just 2 miles away, which is home to active sailing and gig rowing clubs. Dartmoor National Park lies just 6 miles to the east. The local area is renown for its excellent walking and riding opportunities.

Description - The property comprises a building incorporating 3 stables and a hay store, an overgrown manege and a gently sloping paddock - approximately 2.38 acres in all. The property is likely to appeal to amenity purchasers wanting a small equestrian unit, an investor/developer wanting to exploit any development potential or those just wanting to own some fantastic countryside with easy access to a train station, Dartmoor and the south coast. The land has potential for private camping/ holidays under the 28 Day Permitted Development Rules. The stables would benefit from some maintenance.

Devlopment Potential - A recent pre application enquiry was made for "Conversion of stables into 1 bed holiday let" under ref: 3642/22/PR4. In summary the idea of allowing visitors to bring their horse on holiday was unlikely to be acceptable, however it was confirmed that the site was probably close enough to the village to be considered for a more sustainable alternative, whereby visitors would have to come by train or other public transport and compliance of this would be monitored annually. Other tests such as demonstrating a need for such holiday accommodation would have to be proved. An emailed copy of the the Council's response can be provided upon request.

Given the edge of village position and the village amenities and train station within walking distance there maybe residential opportunities.

Overage Provision - An Overage provision will be included within the contract, requiring the purchaser and their successors in title to pay the Vendor 25% of any uplift in value over and above agricultural value, triggered on the granting of planning permission of any residential or commercial use, within 21 years from completion of this purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, planning for any agricultural buildings or stables will not trigger the overage.

Services - Water is currently provided via a rainwater harvesting system. Mains electricity looks to be available for connection nearby. Purchasers must satisfy themselves on these matters.

Local Authority - West Devon District Council (Borough Council).

Tenure & Completion - The land is sold freehold with vacant possession on completion.

Buyers & Administration Fee - The successful purchaser(s) will be liable to pay an "administration" fee of £1,800 including VAT. This will be separately invoiced by Stags. The purchasers shall also reimburse the vendor the cost of the searches carried out, on Completion. (This would usually be paid by a buyer in a private treaty sale).
