Description
This generous site is situated on the edge of the sought-after coastal village of Praa Sands, famed for its stunning long stretch of sandy beach. This well-positioned plot not only offers easy access to the beautiful surrounding countryside but is also ideally located for the bustling towns of Penzance and Helston, with the picturesque harbour town of Porthleven also close by.
The site benefits from recently granted outline planning consent for two dwellings (full details available on the online planning register using reference PA25/00689), presenting a prime opportunity to deliver two bespoke homes in a highly desirable location where demand for quality housing remains strong.
LOCATION
Praa Sands is situated approximately midway between the towns of Helston and Penzance. It is famous for its long sandy beach which is a favourite of both tourists and locals alike. The amenities in the village include a public house with restaurant as well as a beachside cafe and bar. There is a well regarded primary school at Germoe, a short distance from the property. The nearby market towns of Helston and Penzance provide more comprehensive amenities including national stores, restaurants and leisure centres with indoor swimming pools along with secondary schools and colleges. Penzance also benefits from mainline rail links to London Paddington and beyond from its train station.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
