Okel Tor Mine - Lot 2

Lot 2 consists of the Stamps Engine House, chimney, the ruined boiler/jigger house, other ruined buildings and tin processing works and extensive grounds, including an old orchard, woodland, heathland, reed bed, and foreshore to the River Tamar, including part of the historic quay with potential for the creation of a mooring.

The Stamps Engine House, constructed in 1881, has arched openings and unusual slit window architecture with brick quoins. This iconic landmark has enabled planning permission to be converted into a unique riverside retreat (over four storeys) with C1 Holiday Restriction.
The building was re-pointed and partially rebuilt and re-roofed in 2000 (with new timbers and some insulation), and new timber lintels were installed where required.
The chimney was repointed and a lightning conductor installed and other ruined structures were stabilised in 1999/2000. The planning permission includes the creation of a semi-underground turfed-roofed “remote facilities” building providing additional accommodation. Historic England have agreed in principle to the erection of a 6m by 4m storage shed (subject to the necessary consents).
Mains water pipe and mains electricity supply recently laid on, with provision for an EV charger.

Public rights of way
A public bridle path follows the main access track and runs through the site. A public footpath runs branches off and goes along the bank of the River Tamar, passing over both Lot 1 and Lot 2, ending at the eastern boundary where it then becomes a permissive path which continues and forms a circular route.

The Tamar Valley
Okel Tor Mine is situated on the banks of the River Tamar within the beautiful, partly wooded valley, which forms the border between Devon and Cornwall. About a mile away is the village of Calstock which has a general store, two pubs, a church and a primary school. Within easy reach to the north-east is the ancient stannery town of Tavistock, which possesses a full range of local amenities including shops and restaurants, as well as private education with Mount Kelly College and Preparatory School. The property is situated on the upper reaches of the tidal River Tamar. To the south is the beautiful Tamar Estuary and the south coast of Devon and Cornwall, with its beaches, estuaries and excellent opportunities for sailing and coastal walks. A few miles to the east is Dartmoor National Park, renowned for its spectacular scenery and providing many opportunities for walking, riding and fishing. Within about 20 minutes drive is the St. Mellion Golf & Country Club. The charming Cotehele House (National Trust) is an easy walk from the property. On the other side of the River Tamar is Morwellham Quay which is within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site.
Both the A30 and A38 dual carriageways are within easy reach. Plymouth is about 45 minutes away by car - either via Saltash or Tavistock. Calstock has its own station on the Tamar Valley branch line to Plymouth (35 minutes). This connects with the Penzance to Paddington mainline. Plymouth is a main ferry port with sailings to France and Spain.
