AN Opportunity has arisen for buyers to build two ‘grand design’ homes on land at Heal Farm in Umberleigh, north Devon.

The land at Heal Farm in Kings Nympton, Umberleigh, has outline planning permission for two open market building plots.

The land, which is being marketed jointly by Savills and Geoffrey Clapp Associates, is situated in the rolling North Devon countryside approximately 1.5 miles north of Kings Nympton.

In total, the site area extends to approximately 1.6 acres (0.65 hectares). The land slopes gently from north to south and is accessed off an unclassified road near Yeotown Cross.

The land is available as a whole on in two lots, each with outline planning permission. Lot one extends to approximately 0.74 acres, while lot two is approximately 0.86 acres and also includes an orchard with a linhay.

The land abuts to an unclassified road to the north, to an adjoining farm (Yeotown Cross Farm) to the west, to another unclassified road to the east and to the south the original Heal Farm farmhouse and outbuildings.

Mark Chugg of Savills says, “This land at Heal Farm offers buyers the chance to build two homes in an idyllic situation offering southerly views across the countryside towards the village.

“The freehold of the land is for sale by informal tender with vacant possession on completion. If the land is sold in two lots, the vendor will erect a post and rail fence between the lots.”

The village of Kings Nympton has a basic range of facilities and amenities, including a parish church (St James’), a Methodist church, village hall, pre-school and primary school and public house (Grove Inn). Kings Nympton is a sought after village, due to its local community, surrounding countryside and road and rail connections.
