Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a unique waterfront property comprising two detached residential dwellings in an idyllic Creekside setting,  with approximately 70 meters of water frontage to Gillan Creek and the benefit of a private quay. Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the properties require comprehensive renovation or redevelopment potential, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The Properties
Accessed via a private driveway, the site occupies a sheltered protected wooded position on the southern slopes of Gillan Creek, enjoying a westerly aspect. The grounds extend to approximately ¾ of an acre and include a double garage, generous parking, sloping gardens leading to the creek, and a private landing quay.

This opportunity boasts two residential properties in an idyllic creek side setting, located at the end of a no through private road, leading to the driveway and private parking area with a detached double garage. The properties lie within the Lizard Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within a protected tree location.

Both properties require complete renovation or subject to planning approval, the site offers outstanding scope to create a spectacular single waterside residence or redevelop as two individual homes.

Due to the construction and condition of the properties, it is felt this opportunity would not be suitable for lending purposes by mainstream lenders. Alternative specialist lenders may offer financial assistance..
