This freehold parcel on Bar Road offers a clear route to building four one-bedroom homes, with extant planning permission (Ref: 8700739) and a Certificate of Lawfulness (CP02/0272/07/R). The approved scheme includes dedicated off-street parking for each unit and detailed pre-start documentation (architectural drawings, building regs, engineering and party wall information), helping shorten the delivery timeline for an experienced developer or investor.
The site sits within easy walking distance of Falmouth town centre and local beaches, providing strong rental and sales appeal in a popular coastal location. Local amenities, transport links and good mobile signal support year-round occupation; nearby schools and leisure facilities add to the catchment’s desirability.
Buyers should note the plot is very small and will suit the approved scheme rather than a larger footprint; the permission dates from 1987 with a 2007 certificate, so buyers must satisfy themselves that the documentation and any conditions remain suitable for current build standards. The rear garden area is overgrown and will require clearance and basic maintenance prior to works. Broadband speeds are very slow and the area records above-average crime levels — factors that could influence lettings or pricing strategy.
Overall, the site represents a pragmatic opportunity to progress a near-ready residential development in a sought-after coastal town, best suited to developers or investors comfortable with small-site constraints and some preparatory site clearance and due-diligence.
