Trevarrick, Gorran, St. Austell

Description

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT SITE FOR THREE SUBSTANTIAL DETACHED HOUSES

In a wonderful and very quiet rural setting within the tiny hamlet of Trevarrick and very close to Gorran Churchtown and the south Cornish coast.

Planning permission granted for three impressive detached very modern houses, two three bedrooms and one larger four bedroom house. All have large plots with parking and garages.

All the detached houses will have huge living, dining and kitchen areas, utility, cloakroom, bathroom study, balcony, integral garage and master bedrooms with en suite. The larger four bedroom house will also have an additional sitting room.

This is a wonderful and very rare opportunity to build substantial modern houses in a very rural position that will be extremely sought after and very saleable. Early viewing thoroughly recommended.

Further information from the sole agents.

General Comments - An excellent opportunity to purchase a residential development site in a fabulous rural location. This is an incredibly rare opportunity and very hard to find in such a fabulous setting. Planning permission was granted by Cornwall Council on 18 July 2024 - planning reference number PA24/02684 for "Proposed construction of three dwellings in lieu of the Class Q permitted development granted under reference number PA23/03419.

The planning permission granted is for three impressive detached very modern houses, two are similar with three bedrooms and there is one larger four bedroom house on a larger plot. The three bedroom houses extend to 135 square meters, whilst the four bedroom is 165 square meters. The designs of the houses are very modern with natural stone and timber cladding, zinc roofs and all have solar PV panels. There will be a shared sewage system for all three houses and we understand that mains water and electricity are close by. All of the houses will have generous gardens, parking and single garages. Access will be from the highway with access rights over the blue hatched area to the plots with a contribution for maintenance. Further details from the sole agents.

Location - The hamlet of Trevarrick is set within totally rural surroundings just over a mile from Gorran Churchtown and nearly two miles from the harbourside village of Gorran Haven. At Gorran Churchtown there is a parish church, public house and a local primary school and in Gorran Haven there is a bakery and various other facilities including those geared to the tourist industry. One of the most notable attractions of the position is the nearness of the southwest coastal path and the beach at Porth Luney Cove (Caerhays) which is exceptional. Notwithstanding the quiet nature of the location the hamlet is easily accessible to both Truro and St. Austell and both of these busy centres are within approximately half an hour driving distance. Other attractions of the area include The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Lobbs farm shop (just over two miles from the property) and the Eden Project which is just east of St. Austell. The whole area is recognised as being of outstanding natural beauty and this includes the entirety of the nearby Roseland Peninsula.

Further information and planning conditions available from the sole agents.
