Stone barn for conversion | Planning for two bedroom dwelling | Provisions for gardens and parking
A traditional barn situated off the highway with planning permission granted for a detached two bedroom single storey dwelling together with gardens and parking.
Situation
Crows-An-Wra is a small hamlet situated part way between Penzance and Sennen. At Sennen are every day facilities including a primary school and convenience store whilst at Penzance is a whole range of amenities and retailers as well as secondary schooling and a regular train service to London (Paddington). The beaches at Sennen Cove and the world famous landmark of Land’s End are all within a few minutes’ drive.
The Old Sunday School is situated off a minor road only a short distance from the main A30 and is accessed via a farm lane (also a public footpath) over which three neighbours have the benefit of a vehicular right of way. The section of the lane from the highway to the southern boundary of the property will be owned by The Old Sunday School with the aforementioned rights of way granted across it.
The Property
The Old Sunday School is a detached, single storey traditional stone and granite built barn which has been out of use for many years and which is sold with the benefit of detailed planning permission (PA23/06519 – granted 10th April 2024) for its conversion into a two bedroom dwelling. The proposed accommodation will comprise entrance lobby, open plan kitchen dining room, snug, two double bedrooms (the master with an en-suite shower room) and a bathroom. There are also provisions for a useful garden store attached to the dwelling as well as parking and gardens. The whole site extends to 0.6 acres or thereabouts.
NB There is an area of untreated Japanese Knotweed on the site, situated to the south-western end of the plot.
CIL The conversion is thought to be exempt of a CIL charge because of its size.
Services: None connected. Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries to the relevant service providers.
Wayleaves, Easements & Rights of Way: The sale will be subject to and with the benefit of all wayleaves, easements and rights of way as may exist. As previously mentioned, a public footpath runs along the farm lane which passes through the property. The location of the footpath is shown on the site plan.
Particulars & Plan: Whilst every care is taken in the preparation of these particulars, their accuracy is not guaranteed and they do not constitute any part of an offer or contract. Any intending purchaser/s must satisfy themselves by inspection or otherwise as to the correctness of these particulars.
Viewing: Strictly by appointment with the sole selling agent Lodge & Thomas.

Directions: Proceeding along the A30 westbound towards Land’s End, enter the hamlet of Crows-An-Wra and at the cross roads turn left signposted Rissick. Follow this road, and as it slightly bears to the right, follow the farm track to the left. The barn will be found on the right hand side after a short distance.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
