House For Sale £430,000
Wheal Cock Barn, Helston Road, Porkellis, Helston, Cornwall

A rare opportunity to acquire this detached converted barn situated in the heart of Cornwall and offering well proportioned accommodation over two floors.

The property would benefit from a programme of improvement works to create a lovely family home nestled within the Cornish countryside on the outskirts of Porkellis village.

The house occupies a substantial, broadly level site and includes a large workshop which has planning permission to create an additional three-bedroom detached bungalow with parking and associated garden space.

It is considered the site may offer the potential for further development, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable, and interested applicants may wish to pay particular attention to a gated parcel of land in this regard.

Local amenities include The Star Inn, village hall and local primary school while the nearby town of Helston offers a broader range of facilities and stands as a gateway to The Lizard Peninsula, Britain’s most southerly point.

Planning
Planning Permission has been granted by Cornwall Council, under Ref: PA17/05489, dated 6th October 2017, for the conversion of existing workshop to form one residential dwelling, subject to conditions.
