Description

Kittymoor Barn comprises a detached stone barn standing in a total of approximately 2.76 acres (1.12 hectares) of agricultural land, as outlined in red on the site plan.

Situated outside of the South Devon National Landscape (previously known as the South Devon aonb), the barn has formerly been used agricultural purposes to include the storage of hay on the first floor.

Kittymoor Barn benefits from direct sunlight for 12 hours of the day, principally the evening sun making it a very attractive prospect for any prospective purchaser.

Offering potential for change of use to residential (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent), Kittymoor Barn is set in a truly idyllic rural location surrounded by other agricultural land on the north, west and southern boundaries and running along the eastern boundary is the South Devon main line railway.

The land is currently down to permanent pasture and is of a gentle south facing gradient, bound by mature Devon bank hedges. Except for the garden curtilage on the north side of the barn which is approximately marked out by the fence posts between points A, B and C (as shown on the site plan).

The barn is of a solid stone wall construction under a corrugated roof with barn openings which face to the north. Moreover, the barn extends to approximately 15m x 6m over 2 floors giving a total gross external floor area of approximately 180 square metres (1,937 square feet). Under no circumstances should any prospective purchaser go on the first floor of the barn for health and safety reasons and any prospective purchasers are inspecting the property at their own risk (see Health and Safety paragraph below).
