It is likely that the property will benefit from small business rates relief subject to a qualifying occupation. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with the Local Authority to ascertain the rates payable, if any.
Agent's Notes - The property benefits from a grant of Listed Building Consent under Application Ref: 23/1180/LBC for conversion to a characterful three bedroomed home, the master bedroom being en-suite on the top floor. However, residential development is currently embargoed in this location as evidenced by the refusal of application 23/1179/FUL for full planning, essentially on the grounds of the River Axe and its Nitrate and Phosphate issues awaiting a solution. The conversion plans are available for inspection on the East Devon District Council Planning Portal, under both application numbers. For those with particular interest regarding the delegated report and decision notice for 23/1179/FUL these are also available via the Planning Portal.
