Extensions, garage conversions and renovations on Occombe Farm-adjacent plots and surrounding family housing.
Occombe sits on TQ3's semi-rural fringe — a pocket of family homes on generous plots around Occombe Farm and the green buffer between Paignton and Marldon. Properties here are mostly postwar detached and semi-detached homes with decent-sized gardens, which means extension opportunities are usually there in terms of space. The constraints come more from planning context and from the older detached bungalows that sometimes have foundation or drainage conditions that need proper assessment.
Typical Occombe projects are substantial rear extensions that open the kitchen into a full family living space, garage conversions into home offices or additional bedrooms, and loft conversions to add bedroom capacity without extending the footprint. We've also done a good number of utility-and-boot-room side returns on properties that back onto the green buffer — straightforward projects when specified properly, expensive messes when they aren't.
Torbay Council handles Occombe planning. Most projects fit under permitted development, but larger rear extensions or anything approaching the tree-lined buffer can need formal planning. We assess this at the site visit, explain the options clearly, and give you a fixed-price written quote within 48 hours. One direct contact, one clear timeline, one team throughout the build.
