CRANBROOK, NR EXETER, EX5 7FJ - SITE FOR 12 DWELLINGS (10 NEW BUILD AND 2 CONVERSION) For Sale by INFORMAL TENDER

THE PROPERTY - EX5 7FJ

The property comprises the former Tillhouse Farm buildings on land extending to approximately 0.45 ha / 1.1 acre, located on the northern fringe of Cranbrook. The site is generally level with recent new residential development abutting the east, south and west boundaries; to the north is the open space of Cranbrook Country Park.

The approved development requires the demolition of the majority of the existing dilapidated farm buildings, retaining only the former dairy building located on the SW corner. The approved layout shows a terrace of 5 x 3 bedroom two storey houses, a terrace of 4 x 2 bedroom two story houses, a 2 bedroom coach house over garaging and the conversion of the former dairy building into 2 x single storey 2 bedroom dwellings.

Vehicular access is proposed via the southern boundary and off Yarlington Mill with parking provided in a parking area, roadside or in garages. Parking for the occupiers of the converted dairy building would be accessed off Yarlington Mill. There is also proposed a pedestrian link from the site on to an existing path within the country park.

CRANBROOK, DEVON

Cranbrook is a new town on the outskirts of Exeter, approximately 7 miles from the city centre. It's a great new community with good amenities, including schools, shops, and transport links. It's within easy commuting distance of the city, close to Exeter Airport, as well as to the unspoilt East Coast of Devon.

Its also a great location for getting out and about as well as into Exeter. The M5, A30 and A303 are within easy reach for journeys across Devon and to Cornwall, or for Bristol and London. Exeter is a thriving small city, with a pedestrianised shopping centre for all the high street brands, as well as Gandy Street and The Quay for something a bit different. Having a main line train station is a great asset too, with a convenient link from Cranbrook which is on the West of England Main Line.
