Description

A redundant farm building with class Q permission for conversion into a three bedroom single storey dwelling together with land totalling 4.68 acres in all. Quiet location near to the A30 and the north Cornish coast.

The Property
This is a wonderful opportunity to create a family home in a popular area close to the north Cornish coast. Class Q Permission was granted on 18th December 2025 (PA25/08725) for the "prior approval for conversion of agricultural building to form a single dwelling" and the proposed dwelling is to offer single storey accommodation comprising; open plan kitchen, dining and living space, utility, three double bedrooms (the master with an en-suite shower room) and family bathroom.

The barn - which is of concrete block construction - is set surrounded by an area of hardstanding offering parking and turning space for multiple vehicles, trailers etc and with a timber vehicular gate from the roadway. It is positioned within a level paddock enclosure which could offer a fantastic garden space (subject to change of use) and beyond the barn are two sloping field enclosures ideal for grazing, growing or amenity use. The barn itself occupies an elevated position and the proposed dwelling will enjoy tremendous, far reaching rural views over the valley.
