LandDescription
A rural redevelopment site of approximately 0.63 acres on the outskirts of Langtree, comprising a former yoghurt factory built around three detached period barns. The factory has been dormant for several years. Torridge District Council issued permission in principle in July 2026 for partial removal of the outer factory structure and conversion of the barns to up to three dwellings. Any detailed proposals remain subject to the relevant planning process. An alternative arrangement, such as a main residence with ancillary accommodation in the other barns, is also mentioned in the particulars as a possibility requiring planning approval.
The vendors are selling unconditionally, subject to contract. They are seeking consent for a separate new access and intend to construct and retain it, with unrestricted rights of access for the purchaser once approved. The vendors also plan to retain the existing access and the agricultural barn nearest the lane. Mains water is connected, electricity is available nearby and is understood to have capacity, while a new sewage treatment plant is envisaged.
The site is in a rural setting with nearby countryside and is around two miles from facilities at Stibb Cross. Great Torrington and Bideford provide a wider range of shops and services. Viewings are by appointment through Stags in Bideford.

35out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial rural conversion proposition rather than a ready-to-occupy house: the dormant factory shell conceals three period barns, and the listing says permission in principle has been granted for partial removal and conversion to up to three dwellings. The 0.63-acre setting, mature trees and proposed separate access give the project a distinctive starting point, but detailed feasibility and consent still need checking. The photographs show extensive hardstanding and overgrown edges, while the factory and a separate timber-clad building have weathered exterior materials, including a rusted roof section; overall structural condition cannot be confirmed from external views.
The score is 35/100 (E, Low Opportunity), reflecting limited condition and fundamentals scores and insufficient data to assess renovation economics. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; no renovation range is available to quantify the works. The appeal is the potential to shape the barns into a small group of rural homes, but this is a major, feasibility-led project rather than a cosmetic refresh.
Key opportunities
- Rework the three period barns as the focus of a potential conversion to up to three dwellings, subject to detailed feasibility and consent.
- Shape a rural residential setting around the mature trees and open edges of the 0.63-acre site, with a proposed separate access shown on the plan.
Key risks
- The dormant factory shell, extensive hardstanding and weathered outbuilding make this a substantial site-and-building programme, not a cosmetic refresh; budget and timescale will depend on detailed structural and conversion feasibility.
- Overall structural condition cannot be confirmed from the external photographs, and a separate timber-clad building has a visibly rusted roof section.
