An unusually large parcel of approximately 8 acres of south-facing pasture on the north‑western fringe of Truro, offered freehold and with direct access off New Mills Lane. The land is mainly level to gently undulating, bounded by established hedging and enjoys open countryside views back toward Truro. A derelict stone building remains at the site centre and a capped stone-lined well is present; no services are connected.
The site is well placed for agricultural, equestrian or amenity uses and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband nearby. Its proximity — about a mile — to Truro city centre, schools and the A30 gives practical access while retaining a rural setting and walking/cycling routes through the Kenwyn Valley.
Important planning and commercial points: a recent house conversion application (PA24/06849) was refused and a subsequent appeal (D0840/W/25/3365755) dismissed. The sale is subject to a 25‑year overage clause that would pay the vendor 25% of any uplift in value if planning permission for development is obtained (agricultural building consents excluded). There are no known wayleaves or rights recorded by the vendor, but purchasers must satisfy themselves on all matters, including services and legal title.
This holding suits buyers seeking sizeable pasture close to an urban centre, a grazing/equestrian base, or a long‑term development/speculative land purchase aware of planning constraints and the overage obligation. The derelict building and lack of services mean additional costs if change of use or construction is pursued.
