Agents Notes

We are aware of a small burial site positioned behind the stables which the deceased family have informal rights of access. They also have a 10% covenant on the top section of the top field ( which is seen in grey on the images) on the land value if houses were built and then sold. It is understood that this would be transferred to her family upon passing.

There is a public footpath that leads down the far perimeter edge of the lower field

There has been a previous planning application submitted to change the use of the stables to a residential dwelling which has been withdrawn. Potential Purchasers can find all the details under 1_0473_2024FUL on the Torridge Planning Portal.
