The Plot
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a non-estate development plot in the highly sought-after village of Mawnan Smith. This superb site benefits from detailed planning permission (Ref: PA18/00940, approved 26th March 2018) for the construction of an architect-designed, detached three-bedroom reverse-level home.
Positioned in a slightly elevated setting off Grove Hill, the completed property will enjoy a desirable west-facing aspect with attractive views across the surrounding valley. A particularly appealing advantage for developers is that no Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is payable.
The approved design offers bright and contemporary living, thoughtfully arranged to maximise the plot’s elevated position. At its heart is a stunning triple-aspect open-plan living space, designed to capture an abundance of natural light and provide direct access to two external areas, including a generous west-facing wraparound balcony and terrace—perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The accommodation further comprises three spacious double bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath or shower room, along with an entrance hallway, cloakroom/WC, and a separate utility room.
Development has already commenced with the construction of a garage, providing valuable storage during the build. In addition, a programme of planting has been carried out to create natural screening around the site. The plot also benefits from mains water and drainage connections, with electricity available within the boundary—offering a straightforward starting point for any prospective purchaser.
In our opinion, opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly scarce within Mawnan Smith. This represents a truly exceptional chance to create a bespoke home in a prime village location. Viewings are strictly by appointment and accompanied—please contact the office to arrange your visit.
