Description

A former agricultural building in Woodland, offered with prior approval for conversion into four dwellings. The proposed homes are each designed with three bedrooms, open-plan living areas, utility and amenity space, and a central pedestrian route. The drawings show a contemporary exterior using rendered and timber-clad walls, standing-seam zinc roofing and powder-coated aluminium doors. The scheme also includes two parking spaces for each dwelling and designated garden areas, with scope for additional outdoor space subject to the necessary consents. The prior approval for the change of use was granted by Teignbridge District Council in June 2026, subject to conditions. The purchaser will need to arrange services, including electricity connections and a sewage treatment plant. A private water connection is to be provided by the vendors from their retained property opposite. The listing identifies air-source heat pumps as the proposed heating approach. Buyers should review the decision notice, approved drawings, service arrangements, boundary responsibilities and any Community Infrastructure Levy position before proceeding. Woodland is a rural village near Broadhempston and Landscove. The A38 is within reach, and Totnes provides a mainline rail connection. The site is marketed by Stags in Totnes.

36out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The standout here is the stated prior approval for converting the agricultural building into four three-bedroom homes, with two parking spaces per dwelling and a proposed central pedestrian access. The drawings and CGI give a clear sense of the intended scheme, but the photographs show the current reality: weathered agricultural buildings and a working yard with stored materials and debris, not completed homes. Turning that site into the proposed homes and creating the designated garden areas offers a substantial value-add project.

Key opportunities

  • Deliver the proposed conversion into four three-bedroom homes, using the planned central pedestrian access and open-plan living concept.
  • Shape the rough yard into the proposed gardens and make use of the planned two parking spaces per dwelling.
  • Use the available architectural drawings and CGI as a starting point for delivering the modern rendered-and-timber-clad design.

Key risks

  • Weathered cladding, corrugated roofing and exposed structural elements, plus debris across the yard, make this a substantial conversion and site-clearance programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Services and sewage infrastructure must be implemented or arranged by the purchaser.
