House For Sale £325,000
Falmouth

An exciting opportunity to acquire a central and prominent freehold development site, previously the 'home' of the Falmouth Theatre Company, with planning permission (PA21/00434) granted to restore and enhance the existing building, retaining the theatre space on the ground floor for community use, if desired, with the addition of a spacious 2 double bedroom, 2 en-suite 'loft'-style duplex apartment, with 2 exterior balconies, one of which provides exceptional far-reaching sea and harbour views.

Existing Property - In previous years, the property has traded as a nightclub with, we assume, the appropriate permissions and licences, long since lapsed. The original configuration, prior to current works undertaken in readiness for development, provided an entrance lobby, adjacent to which there was a kitchen, and off which used to be the main hall and balcony at first floor level which has been retained. The main body of the building measures 31'9" (9.70m) x 38'0" (11.60m), in addition to which there is a later extension to the rear, previously a props room - 18'4" (5.60m) x 22'11" (7.00m) - off which there were toilet facilities and a side entrance/fire escape.

Further excavation to the rear of the ground floor and also removal of much internal debris, has been undertaken costing our client significantly during their tenure. Any new purchaser will, of course, gain the benefit of these works, subject to their intended use of the property.

The Location - Harris Rehearsal Rooms is a non-listed former Methodist Chapel, occupying a prominent position in this sought-after area of Falmouth, 'above' the town, and from where fabulous views are enjoyed across the constant marine activity within the harbour, to Trefusis Headland and the deep sailing waters of the Fal Estuary, from the front elevation.

Planning - Planning consent was granted in May 1996 for the conversion of the building into two semi-detached residential dwellings, reference: C1/PA02/0217/96/S.

Currently, planning consent has been granted, as of 1 April 2021, for the restoration and enhancement of the existing building, retaining the existing theatre space on ground floor level for community use, with the insertion of an additional first floor to allow for an apartment over, occupying the first floor and rear existing extension. Planning reference: PA21/00434.

Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries via the planning department regarding their own individual proposals in contrast to the above.
