UNIQUE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY CLOSE TO THE TOWN CENTRE Conditional planning permission for the construction of three individually designed houses in a very pleasant residential area and within a short walk of the town centre and the railway station. Planning permission granted in 2017 for the demolition of existing vacant shop, construction of a terrace of three dwellings, widening of existing vehicle access and formation of on site parking for three vehicles. There is no affordable or social housing requirements. Further information available from the sole agents.

General Comments And Location - This is an exciting and very a rare opportunity to purchase a development site with detailed planning consent for three brand new properties in a very pleasant residential area close to the town centre and surrounded by attractive period homes. Planning permission was granted by Cornwall Council on the 27th of December 2017 for the demolition of existing vacant shop, construction of a terrace of three dwellings, widening of existing vehicular access and formation of on site parking for three vehicles. The architects have designed a scheme of three very attractive houses that compliment the site with detailing such as natural slate roofing, granite lintels and quoins and rendered elevations. The site has excellent frontage to Green Lane of about 26 meters and each dwelling will have a private parking space, individual bin and recycling stores and private enclosed gardens. A pleasant and well thought out feature by the architect is the undercover passageway that provides access to the rear for two of the houses thus avoiding any rights of way through the rear gardens that are often found in a terrace.

The houses will all have three bedrooms, large lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen, downstairs w.c. and first floor bathrooms. The house located on the southern end is slightly larger with an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom and feature corner windows which will afford plenty of natural light and adds an interesting design feature to the terrace.

The town of Redruth offers a selection of facilities for everyday needs whilst the city of Truro with its Cathedral and fine shopping centre is about nine miles away. Redruth railway station is within walking distance with regular services to Truro and is a main line railway link to London (Paddington).
