Winkleigh Light Industrial to Rent

The premises are approached via a wide recently tarmac surfaced road and concrete yard providing good access and parking. The premises are constructed of steel portal frames with low maintenance insulated profiled steel elevations and roofs. The roofs incorporate translucent roof lights which provide a good degree of natural illumination, which is supplemented by energy efficient LED lighting. The front elevation includes a high quality insulated electric roller shutter door 4.4m high x 4m wide (14’ 5” x 13’ 1”) with a separate insulated steel personnel and fire escape door to the rear. The unit benefits from a power floated concrete floor and an internal eaves height to the underside of the steel portal frame haunch of 5m (16’ 4”) and a maximum internal height of 7.3m (approx. 24’) allowing sufficient height for a mezzanine or full first floor to be installed; the structural steels have been pre-drilled to accommodate this. Sound insulation has been fitted within the party walls to reduce sound transmission between neighbouring occupiers. The premises are completed internally, with just the toilet to be installed. Winkleigh is a thriving village situated in the heart of Devon. It has an active community and an excellent range of local services and facilities, supporting residents and businesses alike. Winkleigh is located on the A3124 approximately 13 miles (25 minutes) from the A30 dual carriageway at Whiddon Down providing easy access to Exeter and the M5 motorway to the east and Okehampton, Plymouth and Cornwall to the west. Great Torrington, Bideford and Barnstaple in North Devon are also within easy driving distance. Winkleigh Airfield is a well-established location for commercial businesses with occupiers including Surf Bay Leisure, Kingsleigh Plastics, Tristan Johnson Thatching Supplies, Bedwells Removals, South West Wood Products, Transmix Recycling, and Devon Plant Services to name just a few.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting Light Industrial Units in North Tawton

Search all light industrial units
What is a light industrial unit?
A light industrial unit is a commercial space typically used for manufacturing, assembly, storage, or distribution of goods. These units are generally quieter and cleaner than heavy industrial premises and are often used by small to medium-sized businesses.
What types of businesses typically rent light industrial units?
Common tenants include e-commerce companies, tradespeople, craft manufacturers, food production businesses, and logistics or delivery firms. Startups and SMEs also use these units for flexible warehousing and workshop space.
What should I consider before renting a unit?
Key factors include location, transport links, size, loading access, ceiling height, power supply, parking, lease terms, business rates, and whether planning permission suits your intended use.
How much do light industrial units cost to rent?
Costs vary by location and size. In 2025, typical rents range from £6–£12 per square foot per year outside of London, and £15–£30+ per square foot in central areas. Additional costs such as business rates, utilities, and service charges may apply.
What lease terms are usually available?
Most units are offered on flexible leases (3–10 years), but shorter-term licenses may be available. Break clauses and rent review periods are common. Always seek legal advice before signing.
Are business rates included in the rent?
No, tenants usually pay business rates separately unless it's an all-inclusive rent. Some smaller businesses may qualify for Small Business Rates Relief (SBRR), which can significantly reduce the cost.
Do I need planning permission for my business?
Light industrial units typically fall under Use Class E(g)(iii). If your business activity differs (e.g., retail or heavy machinery), you may need to apply for a change of use with the local council.
Can I make alterations to the unit?
Most landlords allow internal changes with prior consent, especially if they improve functionality. Structural changes usually require formal approval. Always check your lease before making alterations.
What is typically included in a light industrial unit?
Standard features often include roller shutter doors, 3-phase electricity, concrete flooring, lighting, small office areas, WCs, and parking. Specifications vary, so confirm before committing.
Do I need insurance?
Yes. You’ll usually need public liability insurance, employers’ liability (if applicable), and contents insurance. The landlord typically covers the building insurance, but check your lease for details.
Can I sublet or assign the lease?
This depends on the lease terms. Some leases allow it with landlord consent; others do not. If flexibility is important, clarify this during negotiations.
How do I find a suitable light industrial unit?
You can start your search on LoopNet then get in touch with local specialist commercial agents.
How does self-storage work?
Self-storage allows you to rent a secure unit where you can store personal or business items. You choose a unit size, move in your items, and typically use your own lock and key. Units are accessible during set hours, and you can rent short- or long-term depending on your needs.
