Amenity Land at Lords View, Idless, Truro, Cornwall, TR4 9QT FREEHOLD
Best and final offers to be submitted by 12 noon Friday 28th February 2020 An extremely rare opportunity to acquire an approximately 1.1 acre plot of freehold amenity land (not a building plot) in a beautiful tranquil setting bordering the River Allen near to Idless Woods and just a short drive from Truro city centre. 2 Ref: LCAA7957
DESCRIPTION
Located in beautiful unspoilt countryside just outside of the sought after village of Idless. The availability of Lords View represents a superb chance to purchase a large plot of amenity land which has an access and frontage to a quiet country lane on one side and borders the River Allen on the other. In total the plot is 1.1 acres, it has a gated entrance and a gravelled area of hardstanding and the rest of the plot is gently sloping with grassed areas and mature woodland. There is a chicken run, a fenced duck pond and some wood chipped pathways and it is our understanding that none of the trees within the plot have Tree Preservation Orders.
Our client advises us that the land is being sold with no covenants. The owner also advises us that he has never applied for planning permission and that there will be no overage clause applied to the sale. The land enjoys peace and tranquillity and would be ideal for those with children with homes in Truro city with limited outside space or indeed those with animals or for growing home produce, etc., and of course, owning 1.1 acres in such a desirable location will always be a good investment in the medium to long term.
The attention of all interested parties is drawn to the deadline for submission of all offers in writing.
3 Ref: LCAA7957 LOCATION
Idless is a gorgeous hamlet on the outskirts of Truro, about a mile along a designated ‘quiet lane’, with mostly cottages and elegant period houses enjoying its south facing valley setting. The lanes surrounding Idless are ideal for walking and cycling and it is just a short walk to the Forestry Commission maintained and publicly accessible St Clement (Idless) Woods which is a haven for dog walkers and joggers as well as horse riders and mountain bikers. The area feels like a million miles away from civilisation just Truro is actually within walking distance or less than 5 minutes by car.
Truro is Cornwall’s administrative, business and shopping capital with many national and local boutique retailers among its attractive cobbled streets. The city has more recently gained a reputation as Cornwall’s best served and most varied evening entertainment centre, with a large variety of different restaurants and bars along with the cinema and the successful Hall for Cornwall Theatre which is currently undergoing a multi-million pound overhaul and there are also many other events taking place on Lemon Quay.
Truro is ideally situated for sporting activities with many good quality golf clubs nearby, a sports centre, squash club, two tennis clubs, rugby and football clubs, etc. Water sports are also near to hand as Truro is no more than 15 minutes to either north coast for surfing or Carrick Roads on the south coast for sailing. To have all of these so immediately on one’s doorstep is why Truro is the most popular place to live and work in Cornwall.
