Property description
Situated in an idyllic rural setting – a rare opportunity to acquire traditional barns, with conditional planning permission to create a single dwelling.
These attractive brick built barns occupy a superb setting within this rural East Devon hamlet. Northmostown is situated to the east side of Newton Poppleford and is within one mile of the village centre, where there are local amenities and regular bus services to the surrounding area. Amenities include a Village Store, Restaurants, a Church, Public House and a Primary School. Also nearby are the picturesque villages of Otterton and Harpford. The popular coastal resort of Sidmouth, which has an excellent range of day to day amenities and the seafront, is approximately three miles away.
The Cathedral City of Exeter is approximately fourteen miles to the west, with the nearest link with the M5 motorway (Junction 30) being approximately eleven miles. Exeter Airport, with its national and international connections, is approximately eight miles away.
Little Northmostown Barns enjoy a southerly aspect and immediately adjoining the barns is a good size, partly walled courtyard. Beyond this, in a southerly direction, is a further area of ground which is sloping and extends to approximately half an acre.
DIRECTIONS
