DETAILED PLANNING PERMISSION FOR SUBSTANTIAL DWELLING

This is a unique opportunity to purchase a plot of land with detailed planning permission for the construction of four bedroom detached dwelling.

The land is situated in a convenient location on the edge of the village and occupies a generous plot in an elevated position overlooking the village green.

A serviced double garage is also included in the sale.

Sold with no chain, viewing is highly recommended.

The Plot - Detailed planning permission has been granted for the erection of a substantial four bedroom detached dwelling of approximately 173 sq metre family house situated on the edge of the popular village of Coombe. The site occupied is sat within 0.3 of an acre which is bordered with woodland to its north and east sides whilst enjoying a sheltered, sunny aspect with views over the village and playing field. The plot benefits from an established vehicular driveway entrance leading up to a double garage with three phase electric whilst a mains water supply is metered to the external wall of the garage which provides a dry, storage facility and increases the development by a further 30 sq metres.

Location - The picturesque village of Coombe (often described as a hamlet) is in fact a friendly community tucked away in a pretty valley setting about 5 miles from St Austell and 11 miles from Truro. Coombe is almost undiscovered and unspoilt from over development due to the geography of the valley. The village has an active programme of events sponsored through the local Community Playing Field where there are also Tennis Court for local use.

Coombe is close to the nearby villages of St Stephen, Grampound, Grampound Road, Probus and Sticker. All of which provide various stores, doctors surgeries, public houses and primary schools. Whilst secondary schools lie either in Truro or St. Austell as well as the Roseland School in Tregony and Brannel School at St. Stephen. The property lies in the heart of central Cornwall, equal distant of both north and south coasts and access onto the A30 is also very convenient.

About Philip Martin, Truro

9 Cathedral Lane, Truro, TR1 2QS

Independent, Professional Estate Agents in Cornwall

Established in 1986, Philip Martin is an independent estate and letting agency providing professional property advice across mid and west Cornwall, with offices in Truro and St Mawes.

We act for sellers of a wide range of quality property, from city and village homes to coastal and rural houses, offering clear, considered advice tailored to each individual instruction and market condition.

We believe an estate agent’s role is not simply to market property, but to advise, guide and negotiate effectively in order to achieve the best possible outcome. Philip Martin is led by RICS-qualified partners, supported by an experienced local team with detailed knowledge of Cornwall’s highly localised property markets. This professional grounding allows us to provide measured advice on pricing, presentation and strategy from the outset.

Our Truro sales office, located directly opposite the cathedral in Cathedral Lane, and our St Mawes office on the Roseland Peninsula ensure excellent local visibility and access to buyers. All properties are marketed jointly from both offices, providing strong local exposure combined with wider regional reach.

In addition to residential sales and lettings, we offer professional valuations and advice relating to probate and estate matters, taxation and insurance, divorce and litigation, as well as planning considerations and development potential. This breadth of expertise is particularly valuable for higher-value, coastal and more complex property transactions.

Philip Martin is a long-established independent Cornish agency, known for a calm, professional and strategic approach. Our focus is on providing clear advice, maintaining high professional standards and achieving the best possible result for our clients.
