Fantastic Building Plot, Carnkie

Overview

Are you like us and love watching those property shows where people build their dream home from the ground up? Ever found yourself daydreaming, thinking, “I could do that” — if the right opportunity came along? Well, this could be your moment.
Tucked away on the edge of the peaceful village of Carnkie lies a real gem of a building plot. While there’s currently a two-bedroom park home and a detached garage on site, we believe the true value lies in the exciting opportunity offered by the existing planning permission — and that’s where we’ll start.

The Planning Permission

Two of the biggest hurdles when it comes to building your own home are securing the initial planning permission and getting services in place — and this plot has both covered. Approved outline planning permission is already in place (Ref: PA24/03654, dated 6th September 2024) for a detached dormer bungalow, and the site benefits from existing mains electricity and water supplies, along with private drainage, thanks to the current park home. The plot is a generous size, offering plenty of space for a new home, along with gardens and off-street parking.

The Location

Tucked away in the Cornish countryside, Carnkie is a peaceful village with a lovely sense of community and open fields on the doorstep. Within a twenty minute or so drive are the larger towns of Helston and Falmouth, with the latter offering a good variety of services and amenities, in addition to some of the most picturesque beaches and coastline in Cornwall. Here you can enjoy the best of both worlds — a relaxed village lifestyle, with vibrant towns just a short drive away. What more could you want?

The Existing Site

The site currently includes a freehold two-bedroom park home, which sits on a concrete base. It offers a rare degree of flexibility – without the fees or restrictions often associated with park home communities. The current accommodation includes two double bedrooms, a kitchen, utility area, lounge/diner and bathroom. While the park home is currently lived in, its condition means buyers will likely be planning for replacement – whether with another park home or new build.
Outside, the plot offers off-street parking, a detached double garage (in need of repair or rebuild), garden space, and a secluded courtyard to the rear.
