6 bedroom detached house for sale

A rare opportunity to purchase a barn which has consent for conversion into a 6 bedroom dwelling

Situation - The Barn at New Park Farm lies in a beautifully peaceful, rural location on the Devon/Somerset border just 4.5 miles south of the Dulverton, a charming historic town with a great variety of shops, popular pubs, restaurants, library, doctors surgery, pharmacy and schools. The larger market town of Tiverton lies approx. 12 miles to the south with further facilities including Blundell's School and dual carriageway access to Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway and Tiverton Parkway mainline station with services to London (Paddington 2 hours). The area offers superb walking, riding and cycling routes being situated on the edge of the Exmoor National Park.

East Anstey has a primary school and parish church (St. Michael's)

The location yet rural is not isolated and the A361 North Devon Link Road can be accessed within 4.5 miles and provides a direct link to the M5 motorway at Junction 27 and Tiverton Parkway Railway Station.

Exmoor National Park is a short distance north of the farm and provides spectacular scenery and excellent walking, riding and fishing whilst the North Devon coast with its dramatic rugged coastline and sandy beaches at Putsborough, Saunton and Croyde, is also within easy reach.

Information - The barn for conversion consists of a steel frame with timber walls. The roof is comprised of cement corrugated sheeting with skylights. The Gross Internal Area (GIA) of the existing building is 455m².

The planning granted is for the erection of a 6-bed dwelling, 4 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, complete with attached triple garage and indoor amenity space in the form of a games room and cinema.

Externally, to the north elevation, it is proposed that 3 dormer windows be installed to allow additional natural light into the proposed dwelling. At a lower level, it is further proposed to install a series of windows along the north elevation to allow the building to function as a dwelling. Where metal doors now stand along the east elevation, it is proposed to install three large patio doors below a large 6-paned window, again to allow in additional natural light. Further to this, it is proposed that the additional metal door be replaced and a roller garage door be installed


The proposal will see the GIA of the former poultry shed increase from 455m² in its current form to 599m² (including the proposed triple garage) in its proposed form. It should be noted that a section of the existing building on the western end of the building is to be removed. This area totals approximately 21m². The removal of this area is required to ensure a suitable space between the garaging of the the approved residential dwelling to the west (ref: 74008)

Prior to the building hereby approved being brought into first use, Two Vivara Pro Woodstone House Sparrow Nest Boxes (double chamber)10 or equivalent shall be installed as high as possible on the north or east elevation of the main house and; One bat box (such as the Elisa Bat Box) shall be installed on an east or south facing elevation in a position where it will be located away from atrifical light sources. Any box installed shall be maintained and retained thereafter

According to the Environment Agency's flood mapping service, the site lies within flood zone 1, meaning there is a low probability of the site flooding. The site is further located in an area of very low risk of surface water flooding.
