Description

An exceptionally rare opportunity to purchase a substantial and mature building plot in a gorgeous, rural and tree lined setting.

Why You'll Like It - An exceptionally rare opportunity to purchase a substantial and mature building plot in a gorgeous, rural and tree lined setting. The gently slopping land enjoys a southerly aspect. The land is approached via a rural lane with access to further smaller pieces of land, previously used for extra parking. Carnon Gate is a hamlet of just a few individual homes on the edge of the villages of Carnon Downs and Devoran. A high degree of privacy is enjoyed by the land which adds to the appeal. Ref PA25/05281 Outline Planning Permission with all matters reserved for
the replacement of a lawful caravan with a new self-build
dwelling and change of use of land to domestic curtilage
The plot will include the further land beyond the red line plan (seen in the photos) and this slopes down away from the house to a lake at the bottom.

Where It Is - Carnon Gate is a small settlement between the villages of Devoran, Carnon Downs and Perranwell Station so a choice of amenities are close by including two primary schools (Devoran and Perranarworthal), and pubs in all three villages offering very different dining styles. There are Post Offices and Stores in both Carnon Downs and Perranwell Station and buses link to both Truro and Falmouth. The Bissoe Trail links Devoran to Portreath and is a mostly off road route to enjoy cycling, walking or jogging on. If you enjoy walking then you will be truly spoilt with endless paths and bridleways to explore. Senior schools are in Truro as well as Truro College. Truro can be reached by road or via the branch line train from Perranwell Station just up the road. In the city you'll find major retailers and supermarkets as well as independent shops, cafes and bars. The five screen Plaza cinema shows all the latest films and our new refurbish theatre the Hall For Cornwall is due to re-open in the autumn.

Tenure And Services - The land is freehold. Services were connected to the static caravan. Cil liability TBC. All planning documents can be viewed under reference PA25/05281 on the Cornwall Council Planning Portal.
