Land for sale

Whitehall, Scorrier, Redruth TR16

An amazing opportunity and one that doesn't come along very often.

Situated within a World Heritage Site with Kilifreth Mine in the backdrop, this property and land has always attracted interest and is now offered for sale with a 250 year old cottage.

The existing cottage is to be renovated, with which English Heritage has been involved and can be extended to complete a stunning detached four bedroom dwelling where 'old meets new'. The site is cleared and planning permission is in place.

The vendor has done the hard work by clearing the site, had a mining search and two shafts on the perimeters have been filled in with a mining consultant overseeing the work.

For the full planning details, please visit Cornwall Council planning portal with the planning reference PA23/06726. Permission was granted in January 2024 and approved with conditions.

Positioned between Chacewater and Scorrier, this site has always had interest looking towards the Grade II listed Kilifreth Mine, one of the tallest surviving engine houses in Cornwall.

Having mined copper, arsenic and tin, many people sit in the layby opposite to gaze at the statuesque building. The site is located just under one and a half miles from Chacewater with a bakery, shop and public house to name a few amenities and a quarter of a mile from facilities in Scorrier.

Scorrier, which is on the Truro side of Redruth, is conveniently located for access to the A30 which will be found within a quarter of a mile.

The north coast at Portreath is only five miles distant and the area around Scorrier is well served with cycle ways, footpaths for country walks and there are also two public houses.
