EPC's F, C & D
Pre-registration is required for all bidders, No approved aml check means you will not be able to bid.
An exceptional residential conversion opportunity comprising three detached buildings extending to over 6,000 sq ft, set within approximately 10 acres of land.
A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial collection of three detached buildings occupying a wonderfully private position on the outskirts of the popular village of St Teath, with extensive gardens, parking and approximately 10 acres of attractive pasture and woodland.
Formerly operated as a residential care facility, the property offers considerable scope for conversion, reconfiguration or redevelopment to create an impressive private residence, multiple individual dwellings or a multi-generational living arrangement, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and statutory consents.
The accommodation is arranged across Rendle House, Valley View House and the Annexe, each offering its own character and flexibility. The buildings are principally arranged as residential accommodation with numerous bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and communal living areas, providing an excellent starting point for purchasers considering alternative residential uses.
The layout of the site, with its substantial parking areas and established gardens, provides opportunities to create individual residential settings, while retaining generous outside space and an attractive rural outlook.
In addition to the existing accommodation, purchasers may wish to investigate the potential for further development within the existing built area of the site, subject to planning consent.
The surrounding land extends westwards into an attractive valley, divided into three fields with a copse at the valley bottom, offering an appealing combination of privacy, amenity space and potential for agricultural, equestrian or recreational uses, subject to any necessary consents.
The property enjoys a peaceful setting with no immediate residential neighbours, yet remains conveniently situated for St Teath and the wider North Cornwall coast.
Planning and Existing Use
The property was most recently operated as a residential care facility and has a planning history associated with residential institutional accommodation, extensions and additional residential buildings.
Prospective purchasers are advised that the existing use of the buildings as a care facility does not automatically establish consent for conversion into individual private dwellings or other alternative uses.
The property offers considerable potential for residential conversion, subdivision or redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions, building regulations approval and other statutory consents.
Purchasers are encouraged to make their own enquiries with Cornwall Council regarding the lawful planning use of the existing buildings and the suitability of the site for their intended purposes.
Tenure and Access
The property is offered for sale freehold and comprises two registered titles, CL79957 and CL81811.
The property is sold subject to and with the benefit of the rights, easements, restrictions and reservations contained within the registered titles and associated conveyancing documentation.
Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves regarding the existing access, boundaries and any arrangements required for a proposed subdivision or alternative use.

Agents Note
Planning and Existing Use
The property has an established history of use as residential accommodation for adults with learning difficulties, with planning permission granted in April 1992 for Class C2 residential institutional use.
Subsequent planning consent was granted in February 2001 for the erection of a five bedroom residential unit, together with refurbishment and extension of the existing accommodation and additional parking.
The property may appeal to specialist residential care providers, supported accommodation operators and purchasers considering alternative uses, subject to obtaining any necessary planning and statutory consents.
Historic planning permissions also exist relating to the conversion of agricultural buildings into holiday accommodation and workshop use, although purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding their implementation and continuing validity.
Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the property's existing lawful use.
Garden
When you arrive at the property there is an expansive tarmacadam parking area for ten or more cars with location of bulk gas tanks which are security fence enclosed. There is a post and rail fence with gate leading into land and a further five bar vehicle gate to the side leading towards the properties with a pedestrian gate to the side. A further tarmac driveway leads along between both properties with a timber storage shed to the side, pedestrian path up to Valley View Farm with it's own enclosed patio area with post and rail fence and to the left hand side a grass area having the location of septic tank drainage. A post and rail fence leads into the grounds of Rendle House. There is a further grass area with seating, block paved pedestrian path to the front door and further slab paving leading around both sides of the property and the rear.
To the rear is the sun terrace with expansive paving, outside tap, established hedge borders backing onto it's own land and open farmland. Immediately behind the property the path extends with a ramp to the rear door and also further lawn area. To the far side of Rendle House is a further tarmac pathway which leads down to a polytunnel with steel frame, in poor condition, but with six raised beds.
On the other side of the path of the driveway entrance is Valley View Farm and the Annexe. The front garden is principally laid to lawn with brick feature wall and seating area, established Beech tree and further patio seating to the far end, all of which are in need of general attention.
Garden
The rear courtyard immediately behind Valley View Farmhouse has a slate crazy paved patio area with further concrete pad, stone wall to the roadside and post and rail fence leading into the larger tarmac area in front of the Annexe.
Garden
The land extends to approximately 10 acres in total, including the buildings and their grounds, with the majority comprising attractive pastureland gently descending westwards into a picturesque valley.
The land is principally arranged into three fields, enclosed by established hedgerows and natural boundaries, providing a delightful mixture of open grazing land and sheltered countryside. The fields offer potential for agricultural, equestrian or recreational purposes, subject to any necessary consents.
At the bottom of the valley lies an attractive copse of established trees, creating a peaceful and secluded natural setting with considerable appeal for wildlife and nature enthusiasts. The combination of open pasture, mature trees and undulating countryside provides a particularly attractive setting for the property, with far-reaching rural views and a wonderful sense of privacy.
The land is accessed from the main property grounds through a gated entrance, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy a substantial parcel of Cornish countryside alongside the existing residential buildings.
Parking - Secure Gated
The property is approached from Trehannick Road via a substantial entrance leading to an extensive tarmac car parking area, providing off-road parking for ten or more vehicles. Previously serving the residential care facility, the parking area offers generous space for residents, visitors and additional vehicles.
The car park provides convenient access to the three principal buildings, with a further driveway leading between the properties and gated access into the adjoining fields. The area is bordered by post and rail fencing and includes an enclosed compound housing the bulk gas tanks.
The generous parking provision is a particularly useful feature of the property and offers flexibility for a variety of future uses, subject to any necessary consents.
