A truly rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a Grade II Listed former Vestry and adjoining School House. Previously, planning permission was granted which has now lapsed, offering an excellent precedent for extending the main residence, subject to the necessary consents. The Vestry currently comprises three bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities and further bathroom, along with a study area, open landing, living/dining room, and kitchen.
The property offers significant potential for further redevelopment, subject to the appropriate permissions, and benefits from off road parking for up to four vehicles. Ideally situated in the heart of Lelant, it is within easy walking distance of the estuary and a beautiful, lesser-known sandy beach.
Location – Lelant is a small and sought after village offering access into the picturesque harbourside town of St Ives as well as excellent access onto the A30 which leads into the major market towns and Cathedral city of Truro, nestled along the stunning Hayle Estuary. The village offers the championship golf course of West Cornwall offering breathtaking views from many greens and tee's. Lelant is also the home of the historic church of St Uny. The village also offers two excellent local pubs and the famed brassiere The Forge. Porthkidney Sands is a golden sandy beach looking out into St Ives bay and taking in the whole vista from St Ives across to Godrevy lighthouse. Known for its charming cottages and scenic views, it offers a tranquil escape with easy access to beautiful beaches and coastal walks, along the South West Coastal foot path. Lelant is perfect for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle amidst natural beauty.
