  • 2 workshops plus offices and 2 bedroom accomodation
  • 0.15 acre site with large forecourt
  • Front and rear access
A retirement sale of long-established village garage, now in need of repair and redevelopment in a popular and central, semi-rural setting.  This former garage/workshop premises incorporating a two bedroom flat, together with two workshops bays to the front and rear and benefitting from a large forecourt and road frontage.  Excellent potential, subject to planning.

The Situation
This central location just off the B3298 Scorrier to Lanner road, is small rural area known as Little Beside, between Chacewater and St Day. The shop and amenities of St Day are approx. ½ a mile way and should cater for most daily requirements, with a convenience store, Port Office, public house and butcher shop.

of shopping, schooling and health facilities are approx. 4 miles distant in Redruth, whilst for those travelling further afield the A30 is approx. 1½ miles away at Scorrier. This area is interlaced by a plethora of footpaths and former mining tramways, some of which link Portreath on the north coast of Cornwall with Devoran on the south coast of Cornwall.

The Property

The property is still classed as garage/commercial premises and offers a wide variety of business opportunities, not least of which could be residential redevelopment. The owner has not made any enquiries to the planning department.
