Sea Road, Carlyon Bay

Frontline building plot with unobstructed sea views over St Austell Bay. Planning permission for five apartments but with potential to create a stunning, individual family home (subject to consent). Total site extending to over one third of an acre.

The Land
A cleared site, ready for development to start immediately, occupying an unrivalled position along Sea Road with spectacular, unobstructed sea views over St Austell Bay encompassing Carlyon Bay Beach and Gribben Head. The plot has direct access to the South West Coast Path with both Carlyon Bay Beach and Charlestown Harbour being less than one mile's walk in either direction.

Planning permission (PA25/04501) was granted on 19th September 2025 for the erection of a building to comprise five apartments over three floors together with their associated parking spaces and gardens including communal grounds, balconies and terraces.

The proposed apartments will comprise two 2 bedroom apartments with terraces to the ground floor, a 2 and 3 bedroom apartment on the first floor with balconies and a large 5 bedroom penthouse occupying the top floor, again with a large balcony. Positive pre-application advice was sought in July 2023 (PA23/00668/PREAPP) for the reconfiguration of the top floor to comprise two 3 bedroom apartments, and so there is potential to create six apartments on the same footprint (subject to planning consent). Equally, whilst planning for apartments has been granted the site does also offer a potentially fantastic opportunity to create a superb, individual detached residence or perhaps even for two dwellings on the site (subject to planning consent).

The whole site extends to 0.37 acres or thereabouts and forms a rectangular plot of approximately 60m x 25m.
