  • Ref: LCAA7036 Offers Over £125,000
    Ref: LCAA7036 Offers over £125,000 East Wheal Lovell Engine House, Laity, Wendron, Helston, Cornwall FREEHOLD A spectacular Grade II Listed classic Cornish engine house in almost 2 acres, with planning permission for conversion to a 2 bedroomed residential dwelling with generous ancillary accommodation taking in outstanding 360˚ views over the surrounding countryside. Planning permission is extremely hard to achieve on such sensitive buildings and so this truly is a rare opportunity. The property is set down a long private driveway and is well positioned between Falmouth and Helston. 2 Ref: LCAA7036 PROPOSED SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Lower Ground Floor: utility room. Ground Floor: kitchen/dining room, wc. Extensive workshop and store rooms with shower room off. First Floor: 2 bedrooms, shower room. Second Floor: living room opening onto a vast balcony. Outside: Long private driveway, level field around the north side of the engine house and overgrown land to the south. In all, about 1.9 acres. DESCRIPTION East Wheal Lovell Engine House is part of Cornwall’s heritage mining landscape and it is extremely rare for such properties to be granted planning permission for conversion into residential dwellings. Our client has gone through the extensive process with both the planning and Listed Buildings Authorities and has gained permission for full residential consent under Planning Reference PA15/09775 which was approved on the 2nd June 2016. This handsome structure stands within grounds of just under 2 acres, the majority of which is a large level field with scrubland to the south and a long approach drive leading in. Even from the field there are excellent views over countryside to the surrounding landmarks and it is thought that from the upper floors the sea along the south coast may be visible as it is from various nearby locations.

His particular interest was for mineralogy, but he also had interests in botany, which lead him to create a sizeable herbarium con- taining many interesting plants. Most of these have been collected in the field, but there are also specimens from early plant nurseries and important gardens in Europe. The notes on the herbarium sheets are also ex- ceptionally detailed. Adjacent to many species, the medicinal properties and domestic uses have been de- scribed.

  • Marazion to Porthleven
    Pure Cornwall’s favourite South West Coastal walk to Porthleven MARAZION TO PORTHLEVEN Length: 11 miles (17km) Grading: Moderate to strenuous Much of this walk through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers fantastic views of Mounts Bay and the magical island and castle of St Michael’s Mount. Fairly easy, level walking allows time to enjoy the views, until the Path begins to narrow and rollercoaster over the cliffs up to and beyond Praa Sands. The stretch on the approach to the pretty fishing village of Porthleven is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Highlights along the path: The ancient market town of Marazion, with its very active community of painters and potters. There has been a settlement here since 308BC and the town claims to be the oldest in Britain, and could be the settlement known to the Romans as Ictis. Views of St Michael’s Mount. Once a Benedictine Priory, a fortress and tin mining port, it can be accessed by a causeway at low tide or a ferry. Perranuthnoe: this fairly undeveloped village, which may actually date back to Roman times, has an interesting church dedicated to St. Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall. Look out for the Norman font and Norman stone heads surrounding the doorway. After a rest on the sandy beach, you may also want to pay a visit to the Victoria Inn which is reputed to be the oldest recorded inn in Cornwall, dating back to the 12th century. Prussia Cove: the headquarters of the famous smuggler John Carter and now the base for the masterclasses of the International Musician’s Seminar.

  • Just a Balloon Report Jan 2017
    Just a Balloon BALLOON DEBRIS ON CORNISH BEACHES Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition | January 2017 BACKGROUND This report has been compiled by the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition (CPPC), a sub-group of the Your Shore Network (set up and supported by Cornwall Wildlife Trust). The aim of the evidence presented here is to assist Cornwall Council’s Environment Service with the pursuit of a Public Spaces Protection Order preventing Balloon and Chinese Lantern releases in the Duchy. METHODOLOGY During the time period July to December 2016, evidence relating to balloon debris found on Cornish beaches was collected by the CPPC. This evidence came directly to the CPPC from members (voluntary groups and individuals) who took part in beach-cleans or litter-picks, and was accepted in a variety of formats:- − Physical balloon debris (latex, mylar, cords & strings, plastic ends/sticks) − Photographs − Numerical data − E mails − Phone calls/text messages − Social media posts & direct messages Each piece of separate balloon debris was logged, but no ‘double-counting’ took place i.e. if a balloon was found still attached to its cord, or plastic end, it was recorded as a single piece of debris. PAGE 1 RESULTS During the six month reporting period balloon debris was found and recorded during beach cleans at 39 locations across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly shown here:- Cornwall has an extensive network of volunteer beach cleaners and beach cleaning groups. Many of these are active on a weekly or even daily basis, and so some of the locations were cleaned on more than one occasion during the period, whilst others only once.
