Hellescott, Launceston PL15

South Hellescott Farm presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial farmstead with the benefit of residential redevelopment consents in a sought-after rural location on the Cornwall and Devon border.

The farmstead comprises a range of traditional and more modern agricultural buildings together with associated yard areas, access tracks and surrounding land extending to approximately 1.67 acres. Situated in an attractive rural setting close to Petherwin Gate, the site enjoys excellent accessibility to Launceston, the A30 dual carriageway and the wider transport network whilst benefiting from an appealing countryside environment.

The approved consents provide for a combination of contemporary new-build dwellings and the conversion of traditional agricultural buildings, creating the potential for up to nine dwellings across the wider farmstead. The approved schemes successfully blend modern architectural design with the retention and enhancement of traditional farm buildings, together with the replacement of a number of modern agricultural structures, creating a distinctive and well-considered residential development opportunity.

Opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly scarce, particularly where a range of development consents exist across an established farmstead in such an accessible rural location.
Planning


The farmstead benefits from planning permission and prior approval consents for the creation of nine dwellings across the wider farmstead.

Planning permission has been granted under reference PA24/00793 for the replacement of modern agricultural buildings with three individually designed three-bedroom dwellings arranged around a landscaped courtyard setting, following an earlier Class Q approval (PA23/02377).

Drawing inspiration from the site's agricultural heritage, the approved scheme combines contemporary barn-style architecture with high-quality materials and sustainable technologies including photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps, creating an attractive and distinctive addition to the wider farmstead.

In addition, prior approval has been obtained under reference PA25/01412 for the conversion of a range of existing agricultural buildings to six residential dwellings. Arranged across two separate groups of buildings within the farmstead, the approved plans comprise five three-bedroom dwellings together with one one-bedroom dwelling. The proposals focus on the retention and conversion of existing agricultural buildings, including original stone-built structures, preserving the established character of the farmstead.

Together, the approved consents provide the opportunity to create up to nine dwellings through a combination of contemporary new-build homes and the conversion of traditional farm buildings.

Copies of the planning permissions, approved plans and associated documentation are available from the selling agents or via the Cornwall Council Planning Portal.
