Description

A very rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a sizeable plot that has had outline planning permission granted in the past for the construction of TWO detached 2/3 bedroom dwellings that will offer stunning sea views over Sennen Cove!

The site is currently bounded on one side with Cornish hedging and is overgrown, but offers a prime spot in Sennen to build two detached properties with parking and outside space.

There are underground tanks to one end of the plot, that have been filled and certified. To the other is an area that is more overgrown with the remains of a vintage car. Across the entire site, there are fantastic sea views - and that is at ground level.

Plans can be viewed online at cornwall.gov.uk using planning reference: PA22/03169 (planning has lapsed)

LOCATION

Situated just over a mile from Land's End, Sennen Cove is one of West Cornwall's most popular and well known surfing beaches. It has a good community with a shop, primary school and church and access to some of the country's most beautiful and breath-taking coastline, beaches and coves via the Cornish Coastal Path.

The nearest major town is Penzance, approximately nine miles distant, where you will find a comprehensive range of shops and commercial facilities and well as schools and a college, providing education for all ages along with a mainline rail link to London Paddington.
