LOCATION
Occupying a rural position near the villages of St.Giles-On-The-Heath, Broadwoodwidger and Lifton which provide a range of local facilities including shops, post office, primary schools and public houses.    The dramatic North Cornish coast with its sandy beaches and surfing hotspots is a short distance away and in the opposite direction are the wide-open spaces for walking and riding upon Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. To the south are the hidden treasures of the Tamar Valley steeped in 18th Century mining history. Roadford Reservoir is nearby with its lakeside caf? and water sports centre. The former market town of Launceston is the nearest town providing a full range of social, recreational and shopping facilities. There are good private schools at Launceston, Tavistock and Truro.   At Launceston the A30 spine road enables prompt access throughout Cornwall and Devon and links with the M5 motorway network eastwards at Exeter (a further 37 miles) which provides good road, rail and airport links throughout the country.

DESCRIPTION
Full planning permission granted for a detached 3 bedroom barn conversion, with outstanding rural views from an elevated position, over its own 10 acres of land.

Outstanding rural views are afforded from this elevated site which currently contains the barn for conversion accessed via a private stoned track and concrete hard standing. Included with the barn are approaching 10 acres of accompanying ground with large pond at the bottom of the valley. An excellent self-build opportunity where purchasers can custom build their forever home or a developer look to add value in a prime location.

PLANNING
Planning permission was granted by Torridge District Council under cover of application number 1/1235/2022/FUL dated 21st March 2023. Conversion of redundant agricultural building into 1 no. dwelling (resubmission of 1/0214/2019/FUL).

A copy of the permission and associated drawing can be viewed on Torridge District Councils website at torridge.gov.uk.

THE SITE
The building is set on its own to the South East of Cobden Farm and consists of a single story duo-pitched building. It has been used in the past for agriculture, with its intended use to provide a dwelling house. The building is a steel framed portal, with masonry and timber cladding for the walls and cement sheeting on purlins for the roof. The foundations and floor slab are of concrete construction. The proposal is to provide additional external fenestration to the North East, South East and North West elevations, together with glazed openings as shown. A new roof will be required and the existing floor upgraded, together with new internal walls.

PROPOSED ACCOMMODATION
The approved scheme provides a three-bedroom dwelling, the master bedroom with ensuite facilities, separate family bathroom and a large, open plan, farmhouse style kitchen/dining room/sitting room.

Two parking spaces have been provided to the side of the property whilst a separate domestic amenity area has been designed to the rear. Vehicular & pedestrian access to the proposed dwelling will be via the existing agricultural access.

The planned dwelling will retain the form of the original building. It is proposed to create new window openings, to facilitate the proposed development, & these will have a simple
minimalist architectural style which will compliment the existing aesthetics and therefore the design should be considered acceptable.
The existing concrete profile sheet clad roof will be replaced with a steel profile sheet roofing system, in order to comply with current Building Regulations.
