Description

A rare and increasingly scarce opportunity to acquire a ring-fenced parcel of pasture land extending to approximately 3.22 acres together with an existing stable building benefitting from full planning permission for conversion into a charming one-bedroom holiday cottage. Application No: 12/24/0012

Occupying a delightful rural position on the edge of the sought-after village of Corfe, Barton Stables enjoys a peaceful setting approached via a private driveway and commands a wonderful southerly outlook across its own land. The existing building sits on the western boundary of the paddock, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the open countryside views and the approved holiday accommodation scheme.

Planning permission was granted by Somerset Council on 19 May 2026 (Ref: 12/24/0012) for the change of use and conversion of the existing building into a one-bedroom holiday let. The approved plans provide for an open-plan sitting room and kitchen, bedroom, shower room, WC, private patio and parking, creating an attractive holiday retreat in a highly accessible yet tranquil location.

Beyond the development opportunity, the property offers an attractive and manageable block of pasture land extending to approximately 3.22 acres, making it equally appealing to purchasers with equestrian, lifestyle or smallholding interests. The combination of useful grazing land, an existing building and implementable planning consent is seldom available in such an accessible village-edge location.

Corfe lies approximately 3 miles South of Taunton and is ideally placed for access to the county town, the Blackdown Hills National Landscape, the Quantocks and the wider Somerset countryside. The M5 motorway and mainline rail services at Taunton provide excellent connectivity whilst the surrounding area offers a wealth of walking, riding and outdoor pursuits.
