Further information from the sole agents.

General Comments - This is a very exciting and increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a building plot in a very private position with large enclosed garden that extends to 0.8 of an acre. The vendors have made a lawful material commencement of building by installing the private drainage system and this has been acknowledged by Cornwall Council. The planning permission will not now expire.
The location of The Paddock is very special. It lies in a quiet rural setting and enjoys total privacy yet is within easy access of Truro, St Agnes, the north Cornish coast and A30 for quick commuting.

The sale includes the mobile home where the vendors currently live. It is in excellent condition and has private drainage, mains water and electricity connected. The accommodation includes an open plan kitchen, lounge/dining room, three double bedrooms, utility and bathroom.

Location - Silverwell is a scattered rural hamlet in a very pleasant countryside location and lies just off the A3075 about five miles from Truro and three miles from St Agnes. It is approached by narrow Cornish lanes and whilst seemingly "miles from anywhere" it is within close proximity of the A30 at Chiverton Roundabout for quick commuting and also close to Perranporth and the north Cornish coast.

Planning Permission - Cornwall Council Granted Conditional Planning Permission on 27th July 2018 - Reference: PA18/03966 For: Construction of a single dwelling to replace lawful residential caravan and to extinguish permission reference PA17/06140 for piggeries conversion.
The permission granted is to replace the current mobile home with a brand new detached bungalow. The proposed bungalow will have three bedrooms, lounge/dining room, kitchen and bathroom. The current mobile home will have to be removed. The land is enclosed within natural hedge boundaries and is perfect for hobby farming or a small horse or pony. It is incredibly private and quiet. The plot extends to just under one acre and has some former agricultural buildings.
