The Property - As its name suggests, 'Carne Side' is located next to Carne Beach on the Roseland Peninsula, along Cornwall's stunning south coast. Set on a plot of just over 0.4 acres, the property offers significant potential for redevelopment and is available for sale with no chain and vacant possession.
The house provides 2,000 square feet of accommodation across two levels, featuring a terrace, sloping garden, parking, and a double garage. While the property requires complete renovation and refurbishment, the site presents an excellent opportunity to create a luxurious beachside residence, subject to planning consent.
Opportunities like this are rarely available in such a unique and desirable location.
Carne Beach, situated in the relative shelter of Gerrans Bay on the picturesque Roseland Peninsula, is arguably the best beach in the area. Along with the adjoining Pendower Beach, it offers a generous stretch of golden sand. Being a little off the beaten track, it remains relatively quiet and uncrowded. The gently sloping beach and numerous rock pools provide plenty of entertainment for children, and it is one of the few Cornish beaches where dogs are allowed year-round.
To the eastern end of the bay, Nare Head rises nearly 300 feet above the sea, offering commanding views in all directions. This headland is home to historic military installations, including a World War II control bunker and a restored Cold War nuclear bunker.
Overlooking the beach is the upmarket Nare Hotel, an ideal spot for a cream tea on the lawn or perhaps a cocktail while enjoying the sunset.
Location - The nearby village of Veryan is situated in the heart of The Roseland Peninsula and is famous for its picturesque round houses built by a local clergyman in the 19th century. The village lies within a mile of the golden sandy beach of Carne and neighbouring Pendower where there is access to some superb coastal footpaths and open National Trust land with beautiful walks.
The Green is on the edge of the village and it is just a short walk down to the centre of the village which offers a thriving community with excellent day to day facilities, including a Post office, primary school, church, pub and sport club with indoor bowls and tennis courts. There is a local bus service connecting to St. Mawes and Truro.
For a more comprehensive range of shopping facilities the cathedral city of Truro is approximately 12 miles distance and offers banking and shopping facilities and an assortment of recreational activities. There is also a mainline railway station linking to London Paddington.
