Summary - 12, THE SQUARE DG8 9SE
1 bed 1 bath Land
Spacious former workshop with planning history and strong redevelopment potential.
Large single-storey industrial unit with very large overall site
A substantial single-storey former workshop on an extensive coastal plot offers clear redevelopment upside. The site previously held planning permission (ref 07/P/1/0008) to convert and extend the building into a four‑bedroom house; that consent has lapsed but demonstrates past local authority support for change of use. High internal ceilings and a large open-plan footprint create flexible options for residential conversion, creative commercial uses, or storage and showroom space.
The building is solid but requires significant work: signs of damp and mould in places, and the interior is a basic industrial finish needing refurbishment for most alternative uses. Services are connected (mains water and electric; SP Energy Networks), mobile signal is excellent, and the freehold tenure simplifies acquisition. Average broadband and the property’s location in a very deprived, ageing rural community are material considerations for residential end-users and rental demand.
Buyers should view this as a project with potential rather than a turnkey investment. The lapsed planning history reduces some entitlement risk but any new scheme will require fresh permissions. For an investor or developer willing to fund refurbishment and navigate planning, the combination of size, coastal setting, garage parking and flexible layout could deliver strong added value.
