A perfect setting for a barn conversion, in the middle of
glorious Devon, just minutes from the A30 for easy travel and set
in its own 2 acres of land with a stream and copse woodland.
The barn was granted planning permission to convert into a 1500sqft
holiday home in 2021 currently designed to have open plan living
spaces, 3 double bedrooms all with ensuites and plenty of large
windows to enjoy the setting. Staying within the footprint and
adhering to building regulations, it should be possible to re
configure the internal layout to suit although we believe the
current layout works well.
There is a private drive from the country lane initially shared
with the neighbouring property but this is then for the sole use of
the barn, winding down into the approx. 2 acre parcel of land. It
has currently been left to nature but is a mainly level plot with
former grassed paddock and a small area of copse including the
stream along the south east boundary.
A preliminary design has been produced to show what may be
possible here with a second access track leading to some glamping
sites in the rear acre thus leaving the barn to enjoy the peace of
its own access and land. Of course, a new owner may have their own
ideas and any additional plans would need approval. An angle for
many, with the size of the plot, may be equestrian holidays with
access to be able to explore Dartmoor and Exmoor or even ride on
the beaches.
A barn for conversion of this size and location would usually
command a significantly higher price if it had full residential
permissions so it s a great opportunity to have a large barn for a
holiday home holiday business plus with the land attached, the room
to create a true Devon experience for those visiting and of course,
to further enhance.
Please see the layout plans.

entrance to Horizon will be found on your left.
SPREYTON is a pastoral village, a whisker to the north of
Dartmoor National Park. The lands here are high and open, with
sweeping views, dry stone walls and roving winds. The village is
legendary for its connection to the cherished character Uncle Tom
Cobley of Devon folklore. It is thought that his infamous trip to
Widecombe Fair from the song may have started in what is now the
Tom Cobley Tavern a family run pub, with a distinctive thatched bar
and winner of the 2016 and 2015 Exeter and East Devon s CAMRA Rural
Pub of the Year award. Supposedly, the local churchyard is also the
final resting place of Tom Cobley but who really knows? Spreyton
primary school is small, with a handful of pupils and benefits from
attentive, dedicated teachers. For amenities there is a friendly,
well stocked village shop.
