The Britannia Inn - A superb opportunity to create three spacious apartments within a former pub in the heart of Chacewater. Planning permission was granted by Cornwall Council on 30th June 2021 (planning reference PA20/09547) For "Proposed conversion of building to form three self contained units and associated works".
The Britannia Hotel has been closed for several years and whilst originally a coaching inn, it has been run as a public house for many years. It is a handsome building which is thought to have been built in the early nineteenth century, not surprisingly it is Grade II Listed. The building had been completely gutted internally by the previous tenant and subsequently the local planning authority has given consent to convert into three individual apartments. As the internal walls have been removed, a lot of the work has already been done. An internal viewing is essential.

Boscawen Lodge - A very imposing two storey building attached to the rear of The Britannia Hotel. Boscawen Lodge has been used until very recently as a Masonic Lodge by the Freemasons. It is thought that the building was purposely built in the mid nineteenth century for this purpose and has been rented annually ever since. There is historic evidence stating that the lodge was warranted by the Freemasons on the 16th March 1857. The building stopped being used as Masonic Lodge when the Freemasons left in December 2020 and is now offered for sale with vacant possession.
It is a fabulous building that extends to approximately 3000 square feet (279 square meters). The building is of stone construction and partly tiled on the front and side elevations. There are two main reception rooms previously used as the dining room and lodge room. In addition a further reception room, kitchen, ladies and gentlemen's toilets and imposing enclosed staircase. The ceilings are very high and there are many interesting period features. A driveway leads alongside the front of the building to the rear where there is a range of outbuildings including former coach houses (now three garages) and two carports.

Planning permission has never been sought to convert Boscawen Lodge but it offers tremendous scope for residential development.
