4 bedroom house

Located in a secluded spot on the edge of the ever popular village of Holcombe Rogus, just 6 miles east of Wellington and within the desirable Uffculme School catchment area, is this substantial standalone 4 bedroom detached bungalow. Constructed in the early 1990’s, the property was originally built subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC) which restricted ownership to those employed, or last employed, in agriculture as per the Town and Country Planning Act 1971. In recent years the vendors have obtained a ‘Certificate of Lawful Use or Development’ from the local authority which removes the need for any incoming owner to have any link to agriculture. Enjoying some of the most breath-taking far reaching views of the surrounding countryside, ‘Besley Lake View’ occupies a well-manicured 0.75 acre plot which features a large steel agricultural barn, wooden field shelter and brick built store.

In brief, the well-maintained accommodation which is arranged across 1 floor currently comprises;

Entrance Hallway which gives access into all principle reception rooms as well as a useful cloaks storage cupboard.

Sitting Room with central ‘Clearview’ wood burning stove, window to the side overlooking the grounds and sliding patio doors giving access into the;

Gardens and Grounds
Approached from a country lane the sweeping driveway meanders past the lawned front gardens to the parking area which has a central ‘roundabout’ and provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles. The driveway continues past the well-stocked veg garden towards the steel agricultural barn which offers in excess of 70 sq. m of storage and workshop space, separated into two main areas with a roller door to the front. A useful wooden field shelter is situated on the gardens adjacent to the barn. Attached to the side of the property and with integral access, the double garage has been connected with power and light and has two up and over doors to the front. A brick built store to the side of the garage provides useful storage but could be further enhanced to provide a home office or workshop. Enjoying a desirable southerly orientation the manicured rear garden provides a great deal of privacy with no near neighbours whilst offering an uninterrupted view of the surrounding hills. The gardens are laid mostly to lawn and stocked with a colourful selection of shrubs and bushes which provide a superb feature of the property having been lovingly tended over the years by the current vendors.

Agents Note
Besley Lake View was originally constructed subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC) dated 14th December 1989. Due to the property being occupied in breach of the agricultural occupancy condition for a period in excess of 10 years, Mid Devon District Council have confirmed that breach of this condition is no longer Enforceable and as such, have granted a Certificate of Lawful use of Development (Ref:21/00490/CLU) dated 17th May 2021. Due to this, occupation of the property is no longer restricted to just those in agriculture, and therefore is available to the wider public. Should any incoming purchaser comply with the original AOC, the Certificate of Lawful use of Development would no longer be valid, and the original Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC) would be enforced.
