Ashburton, Devon, TQ13

THE PROPERTY A unique opportunity to purchase a detached timber building, close to Ashburton in the hamlet of Dolbeare. While the site currently benefits from planning permission for the timber summerhouse to be used as a home office/store, this permission is granted as ancillary accommodation to Dandelion House. If Castle Gate is to be sold independently or used for purposes other than as ancillary to the main dwelling, further planning permission for a change of use would be required. Buyers are encouraged to make their own enquiries with the local planning authority to explore the potential for alternative uses, which could include a variety of possibilities, subject to the necessary consents. 

PLANNING The property has planning permission, through Teignbridge District Council under application number 08/04503 . Individuals looking to purchase this unique dwelling are advised to make their own enquiries for the purposes they wish to use it for.  

SERVICES The property is freehold.
The site has mains electric.
Drainage is not currently connected and therefore we would suggest any potential buyer make their own enquiries as the current planning application does not include the addition of facilities to the building.
The property does not require an Energy Performance Certificate.
