Description
A substantial self-build project in a private walled courtyard in central Tavistock, with outline planning for a contemporary three-storey, five-bedroom attached home. The proposed accommodation extends to approximately 4,090 sq ft excluding the integral garage, with an open-plan kitchen, dining and dayroom, a separate first-floor living room, utility room, pantry and several en-suite bedrooms. Plans also show a central entertaining deck, a main bedroom balcony and provision for a lift between floors.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £300,000, the asking price is exceptionally low against the local £/sqf benchmark, making this a strikingly cheap opportunity to acquire a substantial project in central Tavistock. The enclosed, walled courtyard and the stone walls, concrete deck and steel frame already in place provide a starting point for the planned three-storey contemporary home, with the listing describing about 35% of build costs as completed.
This is a completion project rather than a renovation of a finished house: the photos show exposed steel and no completed building envelope or habitable interior, while the finished-house images are CGI. The overall WHOTS result is therefore weak despite the standout price and strong location: the remaining scope and approved design need checking, and the available information does not establish renovation economics.
Key opportunities
- Complete the planned three-storey contemporary home around the existing steel frame, concrete deck and ground-floor stone walls.
- Shape the proposed generous layout, including the open-plan dayroom, central entertaining deck and large integral garage, to suit the eventual owner.
- Create a private town-centre setting within the enclosed stone-walled courtyard, with Tavistock amenities close at hand.
Key risks
- The exposed steel frame and absence of a completed building envelope or habitable interior make this a major completion programme, not a cosmetic refresh; verify the remaining build scope, approved design and budget before committing.
