Description

This remarkable property presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment. Originally built in 1896, the former Hessenford Working Men’s Institute showcases substantial stone construction and boasts a commanding presence within the quaint village of Hessenford. While currently requiring significant updates, its historical character offers a strong foundation for redevelopment into a unique residence or community space, pending necessary planning permissions. Set in the heart of the village, the property includes a small enclosed front garden that enhances its curb appeal. At the rear, a dilapidated single-story extension with a tin roof presents further possibilities—whether to restore it as part of the main structure or to create additional outdoor space by removing it. The potential for transforming this site into something modern gives investors an exciting canvas to work with. Hessenford is strategically located approximately three miles from popular coastal villages such as Seaton and Downderry, both known for their beautiful beaches and local amenities. The property also offers ease of access to the A38 dual carriageway, facilitating straightforward travel to Plymouth and other key destinations in the region. Given its prime location and historical significance, this property stands out as a compelling prospect for those looking to invest in redevelopment opportunities within Southeast Cornwall. The surrounding area’s charm and accessibility enhance its appeal, providing significant potential for appreciation after appropriate renovations are undertaken.
