Barns At Lower Pilehayes Farm, Woodbury Salterton, Exeter, EX5

Location
The Barn at Lower Pilehayes Farm lies in the rural area between Woodbury Salterton and Woodbury and is less than a mile from the B3179. The B3179 allows for easy access onto the A376 and the M5.
Exeter city centre lies just over 7 miles away, and the south coast also lies approximately 7 miles away.

The Site
The site extends to approximately 0.85 ha (2.11 acres) in total. The barns currently measure approximately 246.52m2 internally, with planning allowing the conversion to two two-storey dwellings totalling approximately 447.30m2.

There is an adjoining pasture field totalling approximately 1.38 acres for sale with the barn.

Access
Access to the site is via a shared track through Lower Pilehayes Farm. The barn and field is located at the end of this track. The purchaser of the barn will be granted a right of way over this track.

Lower Pilehayes Farm is a working livestock farm. Please see the site plan for more information.

Services
A mains water supply and meter has been installed and is available to be connected into. Interested parties must make their own enquiries as to the availability, suitability and capacity of the other services.

Planning
Class Q Rights were granted in March 2024 for the full conversion of the traditional red brick and cob barn. The property can be converted into two four-bedroom, semi-detached properties.

The details for the Class Q Rights can be viewed on the East Devon District Council planning website under the reference 24/0018/PDQ. All potential purchasers must satisfy themselves with the conditions of these Rights.

The established Class Q Permitted Development Rights are a potentially material consideration for the Local Planning Authority to take into account when determining a potential planning application for an alternative new build residential development as an alternative development to the conversion of the barns. This is known as the ‘fallback’ position. Interested parties are to make their own enquiries with Local Planning Authority. If a prospective purchaser wishes to progress this alternative development option, some additional conditions of sale may need to be agreed.

The Adjoining Field
The field is down to permanent pasture. There are no agri-environment schemes on the land. The land is within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ).

The land will not be sold separately to the barns.

Within 3 months of completion, the purchaser will need to fence the boundaries labelled A-B and C-D on the site plan with suitable stock proof fencing. Please see the particulars for further information.
