Description

A detached three-bedroom house, currently let, is offered with a driveway, detached garage, studio and garden. The adjoining former builder's yard includes several outbuildings and garages, with the combined freehold site extending to just over half an acre. The property occupies a position at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac and the yard has views across open countryside. The site is described as a mixed residential and commercial development opportunity. Plans for two small blocks of affordable apartments were previously presented to Dartmoor National Park for informal consideration and received a favourable response. The listing also identifies the possibility of including the house in a wider redevelopment, subject to the relevant checks and approvals. The house has an EPC rating of D, mains services are connected, and broadband is available up to 78 Mbps. Moretonhampstead has shops, pubs and independent businesses, and sits within Dartmoor National Park. The A38 at Drumbridges is stated to be about nine miles away, providing a road connection towards Exeter. The property is freehold; the particulars state vacant possession, while also noting that the house is presently let, so the position should be confirmed.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

42out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a distinctive site-led project: a three-bedroom detached stone house, garage, studio, garden and former builder’s yard extending to just over half an acre, with countryside views. The house exterior appears broadly intact, while the garden and yard are overgrown and cluttered and several outbuildings look weathered, offering scope to improve the setting and make better use of the existing buildings. The house is presently let, and the listing says earlier apartment proposals received favourable informal consideration; any future plans and the condition of the structures would need checking.

The overall score is E (42/100), with limited condition and economics evidence. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Only exterior images are available, so the house’s interior condition remains unassessed.

Key opportunities

  • Improve the overgrown garden and yard to make the house’s outdoor setting more usable.
  • Explore how the garage, studio and existing yard outbuildings could contribute to the site’s future use, subject to condition checks.
  • The detached house, former builder’s yard and countryside views give the property a distinctive site-led character.
