Wheatley barn near Okehampton, Devon, looks in a sorry state, with part of its roof missing and the garden choked with weeds. But the traditional two-storey stone barn has planning permission to be converted into a house. In a courtyard with similar buildings (without planning permission) and a dilapidated former farmhouse, it stands in four acres of land bordering the River Thrushel. For sale at £120,000 through Miller & Son on 01837 54080.
