Description
This property presents a unique opportunity to develop a custom single-storey home in a serene setting within Tregarthen. Currently functioning as a pack house, it holds planning permission for the conversion into a three-bedroom residence, replacing an earlier Class Q approval. The proposed design thoughtfully maximizes the elevated positioning, ensuring expansive countryside views towards St Michael’s Mount, making it an attractive project for those looking to create a personalized dwelling. Located in a quiet area with easy access to local amenities and the coast, this site combines rural tranquility with modern conveniences, ideal for crafting a distinctive home. Future owners will benefit from the existing plans that outline an open plan living space, multiple en-suites, and utility facilities, tapping into the potential of bespoke design while enjoying proximity to community resources and stunning coastal landscapes.

40out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a different kind of project from a conventional renovation: the listing describes a pack house with planning permission for a proposed single-storey three-bedroom dwelling, and the plans and CGI give a sense of the intended home and landscaping. Its elevated position, with countryside views towards St Michael’s Mount, and access to nearby amenities and the coast add to the appeal. The photos do not establish the existing building’s condition or show completed construction, so the project’s physical scope is still unclear.
At £299,950, the guide price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. The listing also says services are not connected. The WHOTS score is 40/100, grade E: the location and fundamentals offer some promise, but the overall opportunity is limited by uncertainty around the project and insufficient data to assess renovation economics. Verify the planning permission, conditions and implementation requirements, as well as the service and access arrangements, before proceeding.
Key opportunities
- Use the approved proposal as a starting point for creating a bespoke single-storey home, subject to verifying the permission and its requirements.
- The plans and CGI outline the intended dwelling and landscaping, while the elevated position offers views towards St Michael’s Mount.
- Tregarthen’s access to nearby amenities, Penzance and the coast supports a rural setting with useful local connections.
Key risks
- The photos do not establish the existing building’s condition or show completed construction, leaving the physical scope uncertain.
- Services are not connected; establish what connections and associated works are required.
- Confirm the planning permission’s status, conditions and implementation requirements, and clarify the stated rights of way and neighbouring drainage arrangements.
