Penrose Plot, Penrose, PL27

Nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Penrose, just two miles from the stunning North Cornwall coast, lies a rare opportunity to acquire a small but perfectly formed building plot with full planning permission for a thoughtfully designed three-bedroom home.

The approved plans present a contemporary interpretation of traditional Cornish architecture, with a low-profile two-storey structure and pitched roof designed to blend effortlessly into the surrounding rural landscape. The exterior combines natural stone, treated timber cladding and slate roofing, creating a timeless aesthetic that sits beautifully within its countryside setting.

Internally, the proposed layout has been carefully considered to maximise space, light and functionality. The ground floor offers an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that opens through bi-fold doors onto a terrace and garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. A ground-floor bedroom, WC and utility store complete the level. Upstairs, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and generous storage areas provide comfortable and well-balanced accommodation.

The scheme incorporates sustainable materials and modern efficiency standards, while maintaining the charm and simplicity suited to its rural setting. Accessed via an existing unsurfaced track, the plot includes a designated parking space and has been designed with accessibility and practicality in mind.

With planning granted in April 2025 under planning number PA24/08110, this charming plot presents a wonderful opportunity to create a beautifully designed home in one of Cornwall’s most sought-after coastal regions - a place where rural tranquillity meets coastal living.
