Description
Location
Located centrally in the historic north Cornish town of Launceston, the site sits opposite the Launceston Health Hub and is near a number of local, regional and national retail premises, service providers and residential properties. The town square is easily accessible (approximately 200 meters from the site) and the A30 dual carriageway can be joined in either direction approximately a mile away. Exeter, Plymouth and Truro are under an hour away by car.
Description
The land is enclosed by timber construction site hoarding and was the former location of a now demolished motor garage and car workshop. The steeply sloping site of approximately 0.29 acres adjoins Exeter Street to the south at the higher level and Angel Hill to the north at the lower level of the plot. The site is vacant and cleared ready for development. The plot could be suitable for various uses (subject to obtaining planning consent).
Services
The site is understood to be cleared of services and former connections have been taken back to at least the site boundaries on Exeter Street and Angel Hill. Prospective buyers will need to make their own enquires concerning new connections for water, electricity, gas, drainage and telephony.
Amenities
Launceston boasts the following amenities and nearby services:
Numerous independent shops and national chains, sports pitches and a leisure centre, primary, secondary and six form educational facilities and quality local restaurants and pubs. Pennygillam Industrial Estate is under half a mile away and is home to a wide variety of local, national and international businesses who have chosen to locate to north Cornwall for economic and lifestyle advantages.
North Cornish beaches from 17 miles by road (Crackington Beach), Railway services are available at Okehampton railway station (19 miles by road) and Exeter airport services international and domestic flights (49 miles by road). The A30 dual carriageway can be joined approximately 1 mile by road and the A39 Atlantic Highway (14 miles by road) All distances are approximate.
Site
The site was formerly used as a garage and workshop for a car dealership, which included underground fuel tanks. The former buildings were demolished and removed from the site during 2020.
The land slopes steeply from Exeter Street down to Angel Hill which enables spectacular views over the surrounding countryside from the higher levels of the land just off Exeter Street.
The Seller has commissioned a treatment programme concerning Japanese Knotweed growing on the site.
The site has the potential to be developed from both roads to maximise the site area.
