DESCRIPTION 

Luscombe Maye are delighted to bring this single building plot to market, offering a rare opportunity for a self build in the sought after area of Woodlands in Ivybridge. The 0.079 acre plot (according to ProMap) has conditional planning approval to replace the derelict barn on site and construct one new residential dwelling. The proposed plans intend to retain parts of the traditional Devon stone walls and create a generous detached 4 bedroom home of approximately 1,470 square foot or 137m2 with a master en-suite, kitchen-dining room, reception room, utility room, downstairs WC and study.

The floor plans have been carefully thought out, however should you wish to alter the room proportions, there should be the ability to do this. 

The plot is located on the Western side of Ivybridge and is situated a stones throw from Woodland Park, a great green space which has children's play areas and good walks. Woodlands Primary School is around the corner and within walking distance and Ivybridge Community College is approximately one mile away. 

Please note some of the photos were taken prior to the wooden frame of the barn/ roof trusses being taken down as part of the demolition. 

GARDEN

With landscaping required, a garden will be situated to what will be the side of the dwelling and enjoy a Westerly outlook which will capture sun throughout the day. The plans intend to feature the retention of parts of the traditional Devon stone wall. 

PARKING

Off road parking, to what will be the front of the dwelling.

CONDITIONAL PLANNING APPROVAL

Planning application reference: 1503/20/FUL to construct 1 new residential dwelling to replace derelict barn. Note some ground works have already commenced on the site, so the permission cannot lapse. 

VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT)

It is understood that there is not enough structure of the barn left for the development of it to be considered a "barn conversion" and is therefore treated as a "new build". This comes with the benefit of a reduction in the chargeable VAT to 0% and it is understood the cost of labour and materials can be claimed back, representing around a 20% saving over costs of a renovation or extension. All interested parties are advised to seek their own advice on this point. 

SERVICES

It is understood that there is a mains electricity cable in the yard which runs up the access track from Woodland Road. Mains water and gas pipes are also understood to run up the same access track as well as a combined foul and surface drain pipe in the accessway which the old barn’s gutters were previously connected to. There is also a BT pole nearby for internet connection. The purchaser has the opportunity to install service media and connect to these services, however should peruse the documents in the legal pack properly to ascertain the locations of the services and seek advice on connecting to the same.
