Ref: LCAA1820 Ref: LCAA7628 Offers around £70,000 Building plot adjacent to 4 Bell Lane, Lanner, Redruth, Cornwall, TR16 6AP FREEHOLD A building plot for a detached 2 bedroomed, two storey house in an excellent, quiet location in the heart of Lanner with an outlook from the garden to Carn Marth. A perfect opportunity to build one’s own home with no CIL charges. Planning reference PA18/03743. 2 Ref: LCAA7628 DESCRIPTION Offered for sale is a superb small building plot for a detached two storey cottage style house designed to fit with the local area vernacular. The design is for natural stone to the front elevation under a pitched roof with a gabled wing to the rear then having glazed doors opening to the garden. The interior layout is a simple L-shaped open-plan kitchen/living/dining room on the ground floor with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, although it appears that as the property is actually quite large there may be space to incorporate an en-suite to the largest bedroom. One could also subdivide the ground floor accommodation if individual rooms were preferred to an open-plan feel. The planning permission has been passed under Reference PA18/03743 and is available to view on the Cornwall Council Planning Portal. The planning permission was passed in 2018 and therefore does not attract the latest CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) charges which will soon significantly increase the costs involved with all building plots. Please see the Cornwall Council website for more information on CIL. LOCATION The building plot is found in the heart of Lanner yet is away from the main road through the village and is on the opposite side of Bell Lane to the primary school. It is just a short walk down to the numerous shops, inns and other services found in Lanner. It is also very simple to walk out onto the publicly assessible high ground both to the rear of the property and also to Carn Marth on the other side of Lanner which can be seen from the rear of this building plot. The building plot is perfectly positioned for those who wish to be near Cornwall’s main three centres at Truro, Falmouth and Redruth, with Helston and Camborne also being easily accessible. The A30 expressway is only a few miles to the north and this runs throughout the spine of Cornwall making journeys to anywhere in the county an easy affair. The A30 then links to the motorway network at Exeter bringing the rest of the country within striking distance. About half an hour’s drive away is Newquay Airport at St Mawgan from where there are regular flights to London as well as many other internal and international destinations. Redruth has the full range of services expected of one of Cornwall’s major towns, including a mainline railway station on the Penzance to Paddington line with trains to London taking around 4½ hours. The train passes through Truro which is Cornwall’s capital and only city. Truro has many national retailers along with local boutique shops set amongst its Georgian and Victorian streets with a Marks and Spencer flagship store overlooking Lemon Quay Piazza. Truro also has three private schools, a multi screen cinema (as do Redruth and Falmouth), trading estates and the county’s main hospital. Falmouth, to the south, is a port town that opens into the mouth of the Carrick Roads and has a lively atmosphere throughout the year with many sailing regattas during the season. There are obviously a full range of boating facilities in Falmouth and nearby Mylor where there are yacht harbours. There are beaches around Falmouth and to the north are the surfing beaches that stretch along the coast from St Ives to Perranporth. The surrounding area is renowned for cycling along the Coast to Coast Bissoe Trail and also for horse riding amongst the many public tracks through Cornwall’s heritage mining landscape. 3 Ref: LCAA7628 GENERAL INFORMATION VIEWING – Strictly by prior appointment through: Lillicrap Chilcott, Landrian House, 59-60 Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2PE. Telephone: (01872) 273473. E-mail: [email protected]. POST CODE – TR16 6AP. SERVICES – Mains services are believed to be available in the road adjacent to the building plot but this has not been checked with any providers and we advise all interested parties to make their own enquiries. For Council Tax see www.mycounciltax.org.uk. DIRECTIONS – Proceeding into Lanner from Redruth continue down the hill and drive past the square and Lanner Inn on the right hand side. The next turning on the right is Bell Lane which leads to the primary school. The building plot is found opposite the primary school and there is currently a residential garage on the site. AGENT’S NOTE – The above particulars have been prepared as a general guide only for prospective buyers. Whilst we have endeavoured to provide a fair and reasonable description of the property, no specific survey or detailed inspection has been carried out in relation to the property, the services, the appliances and any fixtures and fittings or equipment.

    CORNWALL AND ISLES OF SCILLY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER STUDY Landscape Character Area Description LCA - Carnmenellis LCA No CA10 JCA Constituent LDUs Total 4: 163, 164U, 168U, 258 © Crown copyright. All rights reserved. Cornwall County Council 100019590, 2008. Location Upland plateau located south of Redruth/Camborne. Designations AONB on the very southern fringes [LDUs 163, 164]; 3 separate WHS in LDUs 163, 168, 258; LDU 258 has SSSI; 2 LDU have SMs and 3 LDUs have CGS. Description The area is an elevated undulating granite plateau with outcrops in places and incised by stream valleys towards the edge. It is boggy in places and the soils are impoverished and humic. The area is open and exposed with few trees on the tops although there are some limited broadleaved plantations in the valley heads and bottoms. The field pattern varies from small fields within a medieval landscape of Anciently Enclosed Land around the fringes of the upland, bounded by sinuous Cornish hedges or hedgerows, to more recent enclosure of former rough ground into strongly rectilinear field patterns. Some areas of rough ground survive. The land is mainly down to permanent pasture with some rough grazing. The heath and wetland habitats are small and fragmented but most link along the stream valleys to form valuable ecological corridors. Some fields are being invaded by scrub. The settlement pattern is of dispersed farmsteads and small clusters of modest cottages, single or in terraces, in former industrial areas. There are also some larger industrial settlements such as Troon, Beacon and Pengegon, based primarily on terraces. Mining (tin and copper) and quarrying have been of major importance in the area in the past.

The geological background of metals in Cornwall 1.1 There is a close geographical connection between the granites of Cornwall and the location of the important metalliferous mining districts. The Cornubian granite batholith has a W-E extent of over 250 km beginning from some distance west of the Isles of Scilly to just east of the Dartmoor Granite. Much of the batholith is concealed beneath Devonian and Carboniferous strata. 1.2 Relatively recent studies have concluded that the granite magma was essentially derived from partial melting of the lower crust, with a complex history of emplacement between 300 and 270 million years before the present - during and after the period of Variscan earth movements.
