General Remarks And Location - It is very rare to purchase a building plot in open countryside and with direct views to the sea. The plot is now available following the demolition of a sub-standard farm bungalow and planning consent obtained for a replacement two storey dwelling. The foundations have already been laid to implement the planning consent and with services already provided to enable completion of the structure. The new house has been purposely designed for the site whereby the main living room is at first floor level to take advantage of the outstanding sea and country views. The detailed plans propose an open plan kitchen and dining room, utility, 2 bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor. On the first floor will be the main living room, study/4th bedroom, and main bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The house will reflect the traditional style of a cornish house with a combination of stone and slate hung elevations. A single garage will adjoin the house.

The plot is a level parcel of land which is accessed from the private farm lane serving Cruggan Farm midway between Portloe and Portholland on the Roseland peninsula. It is a very scenic location, notable unspoiled and with little or no modern development in the immediate vicinity. The proposed property will be south facing and have spectacular views overlooking Veryan Bay and also the fields stretching towards Dodman Point.

the nearest village of any size is Portloe. This is arguably the "jewel" in the crown of the Roseland Peninsula. The village has seen little or no intensive development in modern times and still retains its traditional atmosphere with clusters of old stone cottages set in a cleft of the cliff and descending to a delightful small harbour still used by local fisherman but with the industry now concentrating on crabs and lobsters. The local community all work to keep the village alive, organising events throughout the year. Not surprisingly most of the village has been declared a Conservation Area and there are many listed buildings. Local facilities include a pub, church, car park as well as the Lugger Hotel, a bus service runs throughout the year and the larger village of Veryan is about two miles away. Here there is a pub, church, primary school, post office/general store, as well as a social/sports hall with indoor bowls and tennis courts. Much of the land in the area is owned and protected by the National Trust and the clifftop walks in the immediately vicinity are exceptional. The nearby Carne and Pendower Beach is also a favourite with local and visitors alike. The Nare Hotel is located above Carne beach.

The foundations for the dwelling have already been installed to implement the planning consent.

Services - Mains electricity is connected to the site. Private drainage system also constructed. Private water supply.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water

High risk (1 in 30)

Not at the pin: mapped about 30 metres away.
