SITUATION Situated on the outskirts of the village of Tregony and bordered in part by open fields, the plot is conveniently placed within easy reach of the village centre, in an elevated spot with attractive views. The village has a thriving community with excellent local facilities including Post Office/store, pub, two churches, doctor’s and dentist’s surgeries, primary school and Roseland Community College, art gallery and hairdressers. There are excellent social activities taking place throughout the year. In all a vibrant village repeatedly called the “Gateway to the Roseland” as it is the first village you come to when approaching the Roseland Peninsula. The village has an unusual and prominent clock tower on Fore Street and pretty 17th century Almshouses with wooden gallery on Tregony Hill. The village has a long history and was a former port on the Fal River, now ideally positioned for exploring the beautiful Roseland Peninsula and the stunning countryside leading to St. Mawes. THE PROPERTY The property was originally a stone built cattle shed with loft at first floor level (24½’ x 21’ approx. overall). Planning permission was granted under a renewed application PA18/08630 on 5th November 2018, for the conversion of the existing stone agricultural building into a two bedroom dwelling. The approved plans provide for an interesting layout with reverse level accommodation, with on the ground floor two bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities, and at first floor level an open plan sitting and dining room with kitchen area – approx. 72 m2 over two floors.

A new access with permeable cobbled paving will lead to a parking and turning area with sufficient space for two vehicles. A gate from a gravelled drive will lead in to the adjoining field, which in parts is gently or steeply sloping, down to pasture with Cornish hedges on the majority of boundaries and a post and wire fence along the lower lying valley area beside the stream. Copies of the planning consent and approved plans are available for inspection at the agents’ offices or on Cornwall Council’s on-line planning portal.

SERVICES: Mains electricity on site (subject to connection). Mains water pipe laid but not connected. Aqua-Source SW Ltd of St. Stephen were invited in 2016 to look into providing a water borehole system and a private sewage system to a suitable specification based on the proposal of conversion of the existing barn into a two bedroom residence. Aqua-Source can be contacted on 01726 824837 for further information if required.
