Description
In all about 0.38 acres (0.15 ha) Static caravan for storage and two barns in the rolling Blackdown Hills AONB. Freehold. Barn A - Approx 65 sqm (700 sqft). Electric and Water available.
Situation - The barns and land are located in a wonderfully quiet, rural position not far from the popular village of Stockland just off the road towards the market town of Honiton.
Stockland is set within the Blackdown Hills National Landscape (formerly AONB), the village has a fantastic pub, The Kings Arms Inn, church, village hall and a well respected primary school.
The market towns of Honiton and Axminster offer a good range of amenities and stations on the London Waterloo line. The A30 provides access to the M5 and Exeter, which has excellent facilities and an international airport.
The nearby south coast provides a range of coastal pursuits with beaches at Lyme Regis, Branscombe, Seaton, Beer and Sidmouth.
Static Caravans - There are two static caravans on site, whilst one has been used without consent to live in, an application for regularisation (Ref 21/0463/FUL dated 15th Feb 2021) was refused and dismissed at appeal (Ref APP/U1105/W/22/3294817 dated 7th November 2022.) This allowed for a caravan to remain for agricultural storage purposes.
Barn A - Formerly a parlour and dairy to the nearby Hornshayes Farm, this unique part-curved roofed barn is of rendered elevations. The ground floor consists of two rooms consisting of the former dairy and the separate milking parlour. The majority of the dairy and parlour fittings have been removed from both rooms, and there is a former grain-store/loft

This use has not so far been implemented and the building is presently being used to house poultry. We believe the building should benefit from Class R opportunities for a change of use into commercial uses, subject to consent for necessary alterations and other consents.
The footprint of the barn extends to about 65 sqm (700 sqft).
