This Grade II listed property in the heart of Totnes offers a rare development opportunity on a quiet lane adjoining the historic church and High Street. The pair of interlinked office units span three floors (approx. 1,023 sqft) and are sold freehold with vacant possession, providing a clear site for redevelopment subject to planning and listed building consent.
Subject to permissions, the building could be reconfigured into two three-bedroom townhouses or a mix of high-spec residential units that blend period features with modern finishes. The site benefits from a small garden/courtyard, strong pedestrian footfall from the town centre, excellent mobile signal and direct rail links to Exeter, Plymouth and London — all positives for future resale or lettings.
Buyers should note the listed status will restrict changes and will require specialist conservation input and formal consents, adding time and cost. The area records higher-than-average crime, broadband speeds are average, and the property currently functions as offices, so conversion will require internal remodelling and potential services upgrades. This is best suited to experienced developers or investor-buyers who can manage listed-work complexities and leverage Totnes’s strong local market.
