General Remarks And Location - In total (Lots 1 and 2) this is a valuable parcel of land affording the versatility of excellent land for cropping, sheltered livestock grazing and a small area of woodland. It is currently part of Polsue Farm which in recent years has been developed for the tourist industry and no longer run as a commercial unit. The land lies in two parcels, both with minor road frontage and whilst obviously of appeal to farmers in the area wanting to extend their acreage it may well suit those "further afield" wanting a productive parcel for hobby farming and including those wanting a parcel suitable for "start-up" in the agricultural industry. Its availability is a rare opportunity in this scenic geographic location and hence it should be of wide appeal.

Polsue has a postal address of St. Ewe but it is actually part of Gorran Parish and is also less than two miles from the old harbour village of Mevagissey. A variety of local facilities are available in Mevagissey, there is a post office and pub at Gorran Churchtown and the famous Lost Gardens of Heligan are less than three miles away. St. Austell, home to the Eden Project lies about six miles to the east and the city of Truro with its Cathedral and fine shopping centre is about fourteen miles away (less than half an hour driving distance).

The whole area is recognised as being of great landscape value and is known for its tranquill surroundings, peace and quiet.

The Land - The land (LOT 1) extends to almost 30 acres and LOT 2 over 11 acres or thereabouts and is comprised in two neighbouring parcels divided by a track which is designated a public right of way. The larger parcel (Lot 1) extends to 29.88 acres and includes about 21 acres of good level arable land with the remainder grassland sloping into a shallow valley. The remainder of the land (Lot 2) extends to 11.26 acres or thereabouts and is in one south sloping field descending to a belt of woodland adjoining the boundary where there is a natural stream.

Water - A mains water supply passes through Lot 1 and is utilised as an emergency top-up supply to the vendors retained property (Polsue Barns) which is mostly fed from a borehole. Discussions may enable a sub-meter to be installed for the land being sold but otherwise it would be beneficial for an alternative private supply from an independent borehole. There is however a drinking place for livestock from the natural stream which runs along part of the grassland boundary.
Lot 2 incorporates the borehole for the vendors retained property and also the former farmhouse. The right for this borehole to remain in the possession of the vendor complete with rights of access etc will be a condition of sale. However there is the possibility that this supply could also serve a field trough for the purchaser and with the payment for water at the rate of the prevailing charges of South West Water. A natural stream also flows along the boundary of this parcel.

Entitlements - Entitlements to the Basic Payment Scheme as may exist will be included and transferred to the purchaser.

Wayleaves Etc - The sale will be subject to and with the benefit of all existing wayleaves, easements and rights as may exist. There are no public footpaths crossing through the land.

Tenure - The land is held freehold

Possession - By arrangement. The land is tenanted for the winter season and it is unlikely that completion can be granted before the end of March 2023.

Viewing - Strictly by Appointment through the Agents Philip Martin, 9 Cathedral Lane, Truro, TR1 2QS. Telephone:[use Contact Agent Button] or 3 Quayside Arcade, St. Mawes, Truro TR2 5DT. Telephone[use Contact Agent Button].

There are various ways to approach Polsue but when travelling from the Lost Gardens of Heligan take the minor road in the direction of Gorran and Gorran Haven. After leaving the entrance to the Lost Gardens continue for about two miles and take the second left hand turning where there is a brown post sign to Polsue Barns and Kerthua Park. Proceed along this minor road (which is the back road into Mevagissey) and after about one mile take the right hand turn where again sign posted to Kerthua Park Continue along this road for about a mile (passing through Lancallan Farm and then Kerthua Park) and the land forming part of this sale is on the right hand side of the road (a short distance after the entrance into Methrose). For access to Lot 2 turn into the lane at Polsue Barns and continue along to find the land on the left.
