DESCRIPTION - AUCTION GUIDE £75,000 - £100,000

The property comprises a building incorporating 3 stables and a hay store, an overgrown manege and a gently sloping paddock - approximately 2.38 acres in all. The property is likely to appeal to amenity purchasers wanting a small equestrian unit, an investor/developer wanting to exploit any development potential or those just wanting to own some fantastic countryside with easy access to a train station, Dartmoor and the south coast. The land has potential for private camping/ holidays under the 28 Day Permitted Development Rules. The stables would benefit from some maintenance. 

DEVLOPMENT POTENTIAL 

A recent pre application enquiry was made for "Conversion of stables into 1 bed holiday let" under ref: 3642/22/PR4. In summary the idea of allowing visitors to bring their horse on holiday was unlikely to be acceptable, however it was confirmed that the site was probably close enough to the village to be considered for a more sustainable alternative, whereby visitors would have to come by train or other public transport and compliance of this would be monitored annually. Other tests such as demonstrating a need for such holiday accommodation would have to be proved. An emailed copy of the the Council's response can be provided upon request. 

OVERAGE PROVISION 

An Overage provision will be included within the contract, requiring the purchaser and their successors in title to pay the Vendor 25% of any uplift in value over and above agricultural value, triggered on the granting of planning permission of any residential or commercial use, within 21 years from completion of this purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, planning for any agricultural buildings or stables will not trigger the overage.
