SOLD PRIOR TO AUCTION - An accessible and very gently sloping block of attractive pastureland with views, available in 2 lots and within easy reach of numerous popular beaches.

Method Of Sale - The property will be offered for sale by Online Traditional Auction. The online auctions of lot 1 and lot 2 are scheduled to end on Wednesday 26th October 2022 at 6pm and 6:30pm respectively. The vendor reserves the right to withdraw or alter the property for sale prior to the auction end date. The property can be accessed via our website stags.co.uk - Online Property & Land Auctions.

Situation - The land is located 1.5 miles to the North East of St Columb, just 5 miles from Mawgan Porth Beach. There are numerous other popular beaches within easy reach. The land has excellent communications and access to good roads (A39 and A30) and is just 4.5 miles from Newquay Airport. The A30 trunk road links the cathedral cities of Exeter and Truro. The land enjoys a central position within Cornwall with numerous attractions and much of the Duchy within easy reach.

It is bordered and accessed off both a quiet country lane and the A39. There is easy access to a comprehensive network of footpaths and minor roads. The self-contained community of St Columb has a convenient store, a number of pubs and shops. Retallack, the luxury resort, spa and waterpark lies less than a mile away.

Description - The land is available with the following guide prices:

Lot 1 - 4.67 acres - Auction Guide: £35,000 - £55,000
Lot 2 - 2.00 acres - Auction Guide £25,000 - £35,000

The land is mainly relatively free draining, gently sloping with generous frontage along the A39 and a minor Unclassified road. In the northern corner of Lot 1 there is a lower lying, small wetter area that offers the opportunity to create a pond. It currently comprises a single field sandwiched between the two roads, both lots with their own accesses off the minor road and Lot 2 also having an access off the A39. The land is bordered by mature Cornish hedges and an embankment that provides good shade and shelter.

The land is likely to appeal to a range of purchasers including those looking for a pony paddock or for grazing of some other livestock. It is also likely to appeal to amenity purchasers just wanting to own some countryside in close proximity to good roads and the North Cornwall coast. The land has potential for a number of tourism uses or perhaps just for private camping/ holidays for the owner and their friends, under the 28 Day Permitted Development Rules.

Services - There are no mains services connected. Mains electricity looks to be available for connection from the overhead line running along the minor road. A water supply could be provided by installing a borehole, erecting a modest building and collecting the gutter water or perhaps bringing a water bowser to the land.

Fencing - Assuming the land is not sold as a whole, the purchaser of Lot 1 shall be responsible for erecting a fence along the new dividing boundary. The fence shall comprise stock netting with two strands of plain wire above and shall be carried out within either six weeks of completion or prior to stocking the land, whichever is the sooner.

Wayleaves And Rights Of Way - The property is sold subject to and with the benefit of any wayleave agreements along with any public or private rights of way that may affect it. The Ordnance Survey Plan shows no public footpaths or bridleways affect Lot 1, but that a footpath runs down the side of part of Lot 2 from the gate off the A39 to the other gate. Each lot has their own private access off the highway, with no rights affecting the other lot.

Sporting And Mineral Rights - The sporting rights are included with the freehold. The mineral rights are reserved and therefore not included.
