Camborne, Cornwall, TR14

Situation

This property sits alongside the Tuckingmill regeneration Area where major areas of land nearby have been allocated for housing development.   The land sits conveniently within the town confines of Camborne accessible to the social, commercial and shopping facilities. The A30 dual carriageway is within a mile of the property providing ease of travel west to Penzance and St. Ives and east to Redruth and the cathedral city of Truro.  In all directions of the property there is scenery of outstanding natural beauty. To the west of the property is St. Ives and the beautiful Pendeen Peninsula with gorgeous ancient field patterns, pretty unspoilt beach coves and dramatic coastal scenery. To the north the lovely north Cornish coast scenery with the towns of Perranporth and St. Agnes, whilst to the south is the soft scenery of the Helford Estuary with stunning gardens of Trebah nearby. Eastwards is the beautiful cathedral town of Truro with estuarine scenery running to the south coast.

The House

The house is in a dilapidated condition. The house is a two storey dwelling with traditional layout with rendered elevations beneath a pitched and hipped slate roof. The property sits away from the frontage road accessed via a pleasing driveway surrounded by areas of former garden and adjoined by yardage areas serving outbuildings. The potential to restore the house perhaps with associated uses in the outbuildings such as workshop or annex, is self evident subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents.
