Commercial Yard with Untapped Potential in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Nestled in one of Cornwall’s most breathtaking landscapes, this unique commercial yard offers a rare opportunity to invest in a site brimming with potential. Positioned between a residential property and a former farmyard now operating as a commercial yard, the site benefits from a semi-rural yet active setting. Although a previous outline planning application was unsuccessful (PA22/01383), the location alone makes this a standout prospect for visionary developers or entrepreneurs.

Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property enjoys sweeping views over the idyllic Helford River, with its tranquil waters and lush, wooded banks creating a truly inspiring backdrop. The yard itself is spacious and versatile, offering scope for a variety of future uses—subject to the necessary consents.

Whether you're considering a revised planning approach, a bespoke commercial venture, or simply seeking a strategic landholding in a prized location, this site presents a compelling canvas for future development. Its proximity to the river, combined with the natural charm of the surrounding countryside, ensures enduring appeal.
