General Comments - This is a rare opportunity to build a new detached dwelling with the benefit of two acres in a very convenient location between Threemilestone and Chacewater. Opportunities like this just do not come up.
The land has been owned by the vendor for over forty years. It was run as a successful caravan site for many years until the client retired with Caravan Club status and won several awards during this time as one of the best run sites in Cornwall. The electric hook ups can still be seen in the field and there is potential for new owners to continue with this subject to reapplying to the Caravan Club.
Outline planning permission was originally granted by Cornwall Council in 2018 and in 2021 a reserved matters application was granted for appearance, landscaping, layout and scale following this outline approval along with minor changes to the previously approved access and parking arrangements. Please note that the client constructed the entrance drive and therefore a lawful material commencement of building has commenced and this has been acknowledged by Cornwall Council. The planning permission will not now expire.

Location - Greenbottom is within easy reach of the villages of Chacewater and Threemilestone which each have a pub, post office, convenience store, and independent bakery. The villages surrounding Chacewater owe their history to Cornwall's important and prosperous mining heritage and the fine Georgian houses in the area reflect this. Truro, Falmouth and Redruth form a triangle in which Greenbottom is on the northern edge, just four miles to the west of Truro city centre, making for an easy commute to work and school. Private and public schooling along with Truro College, Treliske and The Duchy Hospital are all within an approximate two mile drive. Communications are excellent with the A30 two miles to the north and mainline railway stations at both Truro and Redruth.

The accommodation is to comprise - on the ground floor, spacious entrance hallway with stairs to first floor, cloakroom, kitchen/dining room, living room and utility. On the first floor there are to be five bedrooms with the master bedroom having an en-suite shower room in addition to the family bathroom.
