Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a historic former industrial building situated within the thriving market town of Holsworthy. The Former Bakery is offered with full planning permission for conversion into two thoughtfully designed two-bedroom residential dwellings. An internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character and potential of this unique building. All viewings are to be strictly accompanied by Bond Oxborough Phillips.

The approved plans for Unit 1 propose an attractive reverse-level layout, with two generous double bedrooms and a contemporary shower room located on the ground floor. Stairs lead to the first floor, which features a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, ideal for modern living.

Unit 2 is the larger of the two proposed dwellings and will offer a versatile and well-considered layout. The ground floor comprises an impressive open-plan kitchen and living area with a vaulted ceiling, alongside a double bedroom with an en suite shower room. The lower level provides a utility room with WC and an additional store room, offering flexibility for a variety of uses. The first floor is dedicated to a master bedroom with its own en suite facilities. Unit 2 is further enhanced by the inclusion of the existing attached garage to the side of the property.

The bustling market town of Holsworthy has a weekly Pannier Market, good range of national and local shops together with a Waitrose supermarket, BP filling station, Marks & Spencers Simply Food and Wild Bean café. There are a whole range of amenities within the town including a heated swimming pool, sports hall, bowling green, cricket club, 18 hole golf course etc. Bude on the North Cornish coast is some 9 miles. Okehampton, Dartmoor National Park and the market town of Bideford are some 20 miles distant, whilst Barnstaple, the Regional North Devon Centre is some 30 miles. Launceston, Cornwall's ancient capital, is some 14 miles distant. Holsworthy is in the heart of “Ruby Country”, named after the famous local Red Ruby cattle, and its excellent website is well worth a visit.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
