General Comments - A very imposing two storey building attached to the rear of The Britannia Hotel. Boscawen Lodge has been used until very recently as a Masonic Lodge by the Freemasons. It is thought that the building was purposely built in the mid nineteenth century for this purpose and has been rented annually ever since. There is historic evidence stating that the lodge was warranted by the Freemasons on the 16th March 1857. The building stopped being used as Masonic Lodge when the Freemasons left in December 2020 and is now offered for sale with vacant possession.
It is a fabulous building that extends to approximately 3000 square feet (279 square meters). The building is of stone construction and partly tiled on the front and side elevations. There are two main reception rooms previously used as the dining room and lodge room. In addition a further reception room, kitchen, ladies and gentlemen's toilets and imposing enclosed staircase. The ceilings are very high and there are many interesting period features. A driveway leads alongside the front of the building to the rear where there is a range of outbuildings including former coach houses (now three garages) and two carports.

Location - Chacewater is a sought after village which is located within five miles of Truro. It benefits from a village shop, public house, bakers, doctors' surgery and primary school. Chacewater has a great sense of community with many village organisations and activities which are held throughout the year. The location offers easy access to the A30 via Scorrier and further amenities can be found in Truro.

Planning And Adjoining Britannia Hotel - Planning permission has never been sought to convert Boscawen Lodge but it offers tremendous scope for residential development.

The adjoining Britannia Hotel has planning permission for conversion into three, two bedroom apartments (Planning reference PA20/09547). This is also for sale through Philip Martin. Preference will be given to a purchaser wanting to buy both lots. Further information from the sole agents.
