Newmills Lane, Truro TR1

This is a unique opportunity to acquire about 8 acres of south-facing pasture land, accompanied by the remnants of a derelict building, set against the backdrop of Truro's idyllic countryside. The property consists of two fields with direct access from New Mills Lane and offers potential for those looking to invest in agricultural or development projects. While the land has primarily served as grazing space, it is bordered by established hedges and provides stunning views over the surrounding rural landscape. Historically, the site featured a row of old cottages that were repurposed for agricultural use during the last war, highlighting its potential for restoration or redevelopment. One notable aspect of this property is the associated uplift clause—if planning permission is obtained within 25 years for development purposes, the original vendors will benefit from 25% of the uplift in value. Although there was a recent planning application to convert the existing stone structure into residential use that was declined, ambitious investors may see other avenues for potential development given the right proposals. The land currently has no connected services but boasts a charming capped stone-lined well on-site. Prospective buyers are encouraged to investigate utility options and rights associated with the property thoroughly. Located just outside Truro City along a tranquil country lane, this site offers convenient access to local amenities while providing an appealing environment for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling along nearby footpaths.
