Here in Mid Devon, were blessed with plenty of fantastic countryside and lots of amazing homes, but now and again, something comes to market thats a little different. For those in the know, Upton Hellions is a quiet hamlet, just to the East of Sandford and is nestled among some beautiful countryside. Being only minutes from Crediton and away from main roads, its a real haven. So to have the opportunity to build your own home in such an incredible location doesnt come up very often! The site borders onto open countryside looking to the west and the vista over the fields is stunning.
The permission is for a Class Q conversion (Mid Devon reference is 22/01685/PNCOU) of a former agricultural barn into a dwelling. The current plans allow for a 4 bedroom layout over the single floor with open plan living spaces taking in the views. The barn measures 21.3m x 9.7m internally (2223 sqft) so its a big space to utilise. A lot of work has already been done on the site with the drive and boundaries being well established, water, electric and drainage all in place, openings created and footings dug which is a major expense that has already been made.
In addition to the building to convert, theres 2 further barns on the site. The first is a 14m x 8m agricultural barn which is ideal for storage or equipment or vehicles and with a huge 4.5m internal clearance has lots of scope. Theres also a two storey barn with a workshop and large utility space on the ground floor and a hay loft runs over the top. Again this is excellent additional space that doesnt have to be built. Theres a modern 2 bedroom mobile home on the site which is very comfortable, clean and tidy and could be used as a home while building or indeed to rent out.
In total the plot extends to approx. 1.6 acres (including buildings and yards). The land offers plenty of scope too with large parking areas, an elevated terrace from which to enjoy the view and areas of lawn. The fenced boundaries are clear and theres been planting to enhance the aesthetic. Theres a paddock to the south of the barn which extends to approx. 0.6 acres and ideal for those wanting to keep a few animals.
It‘s a wonderful set-up and with a lot of work done, the infrastructure in place, its sure to appeal to those wishing to live on site and self build as well as seasoned developers.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
