Approx 6.82 acres of amenity/pasture land with great potential for various uses (STPP). Level land with lovely views, fully enclosed by hedge boundaries.


Excellent parcel of amenity land which includes access lane with hardstanding area for parking and turning with a trailer. Split into two paddocks the first being approximately 2.45 acres in size and generally level with gated access from the access lane.

The second larger paddock is approximately 2.9 acres which slopes northwards with overgrown road access gate and water trough. Both paddocks enjoy fine views of the surrounding countryside and the hardstanding area is sheltered and enclosed enjoying total privacy. The total size is approximately 6.82 acres which includes both paddocks, access lane and wooded area.

Please Note: There is a well fenced heap from the mine shaft which belonged to Wheal Edward. The vendors inform us extensive tests were carried out to confirm no shafts under the top field, but prospective purchasers would have to verify for themselves.

A great opportunity to purchase a very usable parcel of land which will appeal to both agricultural, equestrian and amenity users with further potential subject to planning permission.
