Description
Nestled on the outskirts of the charming and historic market town of St Columb Major, this substantial development site offers a rare and exciting opportunity. Located just off Union Hill, within easy walking distance of the town centre, this expansive parcel of land spans over 1.5 acres and presents both immediate and future development potential. St Columb Major is well known for its strong Cornish community spirit and offers a range of daily conveniences, with broader amenities easily accessible in nearby major towns such as Newquay, just seven miles away.
The site is divided into two key areas: the first, at the approach, benefits from fully approved planning permission for the construction of three executive-style detached homes. Beyond these initial plots lies the majority of the land, which, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, may offer further development opportunities. Planning permission has been granted under application number PA23/08105, and prospective buyers are encouraged to review the full details via the Cornwall Council Planning Portal for comprehensive insights into the potential and considerations of this site.
Whether you choose to proceed with the existing plans or explore further development possibilities, this is a truly unique chance to acquire a prime site in a sought-after mid-county location. A fantastic investment opportunity with no onward chain!
