Situation - The smallholding lies on the outskirts of the village of Roche in a peaceful location, yet in a convenient position close to the new Cornwall Services at the Victoria junction of the A30 dual-carriageway, which links the Cathedral cities of Exeter and Truro.. It is centrally located with most Cornish attractions within easy reach.

The Eden Project is just over 6 miles to the south east. Both the south and the north coasts, with their numerous quaint fishing villages and sandy beaches lie just 8 miles and 12 miles away respectively.. Contrasting with this, are the rugged moors of Bodmin Moor, which provide numerous walking, riding and other outdoor pursuit opportunities which lie just 11 miles to the east. Closer to home is the nearby Goss Moor Trail (3 miles)

The village of Roche lies 1.5 mile to the west and branch-line rail services are available 1 mile north of the the village. Within the village are various bus stops, a pharmacy, various shops, a doctors surgery, a pub, a primary school and vets. A more comprehensive range of leisure, education and shopping amenities can be found at St Austell and Bodmin. The international and UK links of Newquay Airport lie just 10 miles away.

Description - For Sale by Online Auction 6.00pm on 22nd June 2021. The smallholding measures 12.05 ac (4.875 ha) in all). It lies within a ringfence, in a private position, with a short length of road frontage.

The land, having previously been farmed as a pig farm is laid out in numerous small paddocks, although some of this internal fencing is now in a dilapidated condition.. The land is all down to pasture and is classified as Grade 3. It is productive relatively free draining land well suited to the grazing of horses or livestock. Nearby neighbours appear to be growing small scale horticultural crops under ploy-tunnels.

A gated driveway leads from the highway, past a pond and wildlife area, through the middle of the land, providing access to each of the enclosures, a partially built barn and a static caravan. Far reaching countryside views can be enjoyed from most of the land.

This smallholding provides a sought after opportunity for perhaps a lifestyle change to perhaps a more self-sufficient "Good Life" way of living with a menagerie of livestock, or just a pleasant and spacious environment to spend wholesome weekends with the family .

Development Potential - The previous owners who ran a successful pig enterprise obtained a temporary planning permission for an agricultural dwelling, although this has now expired. Neither the partly built farm building, nor the existing static caravan have planning permission. We understand that the current owners have not made any applications to the Local Panning Authority and at the time of drafting these details, there are no outstanding enforcement issues.

Subject to satisfying the Functional and Financial planning requirements, there is potential for a new owner to initially obtain another temporary consent and subsequently a permanent consent for an Agricultural Occupancy Conditioned dwelling. There is also potential to obtain consent for the necessary buildings, such a business would require. Purchasers must obtain their own professional advice and draw their own conclusions as to the likelihood of obtaining any planning consents.

Alternately, there is potential to camp on the land or carry out other various uses, without the need for any consents, under the 28 Day Permitted Development Rules (Currently 56 days, this year and last year).

Services - Private bore hole water supply, private septic tank with soak away drainage. Electricity is generated from ground mounted PV solar panels. Purchasers must satisfy themselves on these points.
