Land For Sale £500,000
The property - EX6 7XX
The site of the former Haldon Thatch Hotel/restaurant (Est. Circa 1930) and adjoining former petrol filling station, all of which extends to approximately 0.71 hectares (1.75 acres). The site has a commenced planning permission for a large detached house with a gross internal floor area of approximately 200sqm (2,152sqft) and a restaurant building of approximately 276sqm (2,970sqft) all situated on the southern area of the site where the former Haldon Thatch once stood, before a fire some years ago (October 2003). The owner subsequently acquired the adjoining former petrol filling station to the north and we are informed that the former fuel tanks have been decommissioned and backfilled, but are still in the ground.
The property is situated in a prominent position on the northern slopes of Haldon Hill, between the Old Haldon Hill Road and the north bound A380 from Torbay to Exeter. The site was internationally recognised in its days as a hotel/guest house and still benefits from an impressive panoramic view of countryside, both locally and beyond the City of Exeter, which lies 5 miles away according to the listed 1890s milestone within Haldon Thatch. All major routes are quickly accessible, as are the cycling and nature trail amenities of Haldon Forest Park, whilst Dartmoor and the seaside towns of Dawlish, Teignmouth and Torbay are a short drive away. It offers various potential redevelopment options (subject to requisite consents) beyond the current planning permission.
Method of sale
Conditional & unconditional offers are invited for the freehold property.

Planning
Teignbridge District Council granted outline planning permission on 15th March 2013 (Ref.13/00199/out) for restaurant (class A3) and house (all matters reserved) on the site of the Haldon Thatch, Kennford. A subsequent application for the reserved matters (Ref.16/00747/rem) was approved on 24th May 2016. A subsequent appeal was submitted by the applicants against Conditions Nos. 9 and 10 of the Reserved Matters planning permission. The appeal (Ref. App/P1133/W/16/3159527) allowed the deletion of Condition No.10 of the reserved matters but not Condition No.9.
We are informed by the owner that this permission was lawfully commenced with foundation trenching and the laying of appropriate fresh water and drainage pipes for the development, as required for constructive start protection.
Copies of the plans and planning permission are held on file by the agents or can be viewed on Teignbridge District Council's website using the planning references above. Please note that Community Infrastructure Levy (cil) is not liable on this permission.
Interested parties may look at other potential uses for the site and we may consider conditional, subject to planning, offers.
