Description/Location

The property, which was previously operated as a residential care home with 24 en suite bedrooms (closed in 2023), is set in landscaped and well maintained gardens just outside Dartmoor National Park and is not listed. The adjoining 4 bedroom house and one of the 1 bedroom bungalows are currently rented on Assured Shorthold Tenancies. The other 1 bedroom bungalow is vacant. Potential for a variety of lifestyle or commercial uses subject to any necessary consents. Auctioneers note: A recent pre-planning application submitted to Teignbridge District Council sought general feedback on the suitability of a residential conversion scheme, and received a potentially positive informal response. While no specific layout or number of units was proposed, the scale and configuration of the main building suggests that conversion into multiple private homes or apartments could be achievable, subject to the necessary consents.

*Guide Price & Reserves

Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller’s minimum expectation. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.

The “Important Notes For Auction Buyers” at the front of the catalogue includes a definition of “Guide Price & Reserve Price”. All properties are subject to a purchaser’s administration fee of £2,100 (inc. VAT) unless otherwise stated in the addendum (£600 inc. VAT for lots with guide prices up to £3,000). If the purchaser is liable for any further costs these will be stated within the Special Conditions of the legal pack, that have been produced by the seller’s lawyer, a copy of which can be downloaded from our website.
