Particulars & Plan
Whilst every care is taken in the preparation of these particulars, their accuracy is not guaranteed and they do not constitute any part of an offer or contract. Any intending purchaser/s must satisfy themselves by inspection or otherwise as to the correctness of these particulars.

The Plot
A parcel of land, on which permission in principle to create an individual dwelling was granted on the 16th April 2026 under Application No. PA26/01382. Please note that the plans attached are not approved plans but simply for illustrative purposes only.

The site has been levelled, meaning construction can commence as soon as full planning consent has been approved and relevant conditions discharged.

A private driveway leads on the site, which enjoys a sheltered yet sunny aspect within a ‘stone's throw' of the historic 18th Century Bodmin Jail, now transformed after huge investment, into a stunning luxury hotel.

Location
The plot is hidden away from the road in a wonderful quiet residential setting in the northern fringe off a track called Watery Lane. Whilst enjoying a high degree of privacy, the huge variety of shopping, schooling, health and leisure amenities of Bodmin, are within walking distance. So to, is the Camel Trail, a magical walk and cycle ride culminating in the north Cornish coast harbour town of Padstow. The A30 is easily accessible approximately 1 mile away, Bodmin Parkway railway station on the Paddington to Penzance mainline is approximately 4 miles away on the A38 to Plymouth.
