Chiverton Cross, Blackwater

DETACHED BUNGALOW WITH HUGE POTENTIAL

Situated in a convenient location in central Cornwall and occupying a good sized plot with parking, double garage, workshop and gardens.

In the same family ownership since construction over 100 years ago and now in need of complete refurbishment throughout.

Tremendous potential for redevelopment for either residential or commercial subject to consents.

The Property - Collingwood is a detached period bungalow, understood to have been constructed circa 1919 and remaining in the same family ownership since 1949. Formerly associated with the original ‘Garage’ at Chiverton Cross, the property holds a degree of local historical interest.

Occupying a convenient and well-connected position with access to routes across the county, the property now presents an opportunity for improvement. Whilst it has been maintained over the years, it would benefit from a programme of updating and modernisation throughout.

The accommodation currently comprises a porch, entrance hall, three bedrooms, sitting room, dining room, kitchen and shower room. Externally, there is off-road parking, a double garage and gardens surrounding the property.

History - Collingwood occupies a plot originally acquired in 1911 by Andrew Isaac William Ward, with the bungalow itself understood to date from circa 1919. The grounds were once home to the original Ward family enterprise, including Wards Garage together with blacksmith, wheelwright and carpentry workshops, before the business relocated to larger premises across the road.

Historically, the crossroads was closely associated with the Ward family, with several bungalows in the immediate vicinity all under their ownership.

Now coming to the market after generations within the same family, Collingwood represents the end of a long period of ownership and offers a rare opportunity for purchasers seeking a property with historical interest, requiring full modernisation or redevelopment (subject to any necessary consents).

Location - Chiverton Cross is a well-known junction in mid-Cornwall, offering excellent connectivity to Truro, Redruth and the north coast. Recent infrastructure improvements have enhanced access across the county, making it a convenient base for both commuting and day-to-day travel. The area is ideally positioned for access to a range of nearby amenities, including local shops, schools and services, while also being within easy reach of the popular coastal destinations of St Agnes and Perranporth, known for their beaches and scenic coastline.
