Description
A sizeable development plot in Sennen with open coastal views, offered with a history of outline planning permission for two detached homes. The previous proposal was for two 2/3-bedroom dwellings, each approximately 115 square metres, with parking and outdoor space. The permission has lapsed, so any future scheme would need to be checked with the local planning authority. The site is bounded in part by Cornish hedging and is currently overgrown in places. The listing notes filled and certified underground tanks at one end and the remains of a vintage car in a more overgrown area. Services are not connected: electricity, water, drainage, heating and broadband are listed as unavailable. The site is in an AONB and a historic tin-mining area. Sennen Cove is just over a mile from Land's End and has a shop, primary school and church, with coastal paths and beaches nearby. Penzance, with wider amenities and a mainline rail connection, is around nine miles away.

Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
33out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a bare coastal plot rather than a house renovation: it appears largely cleared, with open sea views and the scope to create a new-build project from the ground up. The listing refers to an earlier outline proposal for two detached homes, but says that permission has lapsed, so current planning feasibility needs checking. The ground is rough and uneven, with boundary vegetation and a vintage car noted on site; underground tanks are described as filled and certified.
At £120,000, value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged because no floor area is available. The overall score is low, with limited economics data and weak investability reflecting the scale and uncertainty of a new-build site rather than a conventional renovation opportunity.
Key opportunities
- Create a new-build scheme tailored to the sea views, with the listing’s former two-home proposal offering a starting point to investigate.
- Shape the site layout, parking and outdoor space from scratch rather than adapting an existing dwelling.
- Work with the largely cleared plot and its Cornish hedging to establish a distinctive coastal setting.
Key risks
- A bare, uneven plot with overgrown sections and no services shown makes this a groundworks and new-build programme, not a cosmetic refresh; budget and timing will depend on site preparation and service provision.
- The earlier outline permission has lapsed, so current planning feasibility for any proposed scheme needs to be verified.
