Full Details for Land for sale in Saltash, PL12 :
Planning permission has been granted for the conversion of an existing cottage and adjacent barn historically known as “Cottage Barn” & “Chall Barn”. The proposed accommodation will afford an entrance hallway, kitchen/dining room, sitting room, study, utility room, boot room and WC on the ground floor. Contiguous to the northern elevation will be a double garage. The first floor accommodation will afford a landing, family bathroom, four bedrooms, two of which will have an en- suite bathrooms and dressing room.
The architect’s impression gives an indication as to what can be created to the front of the property, which effectively will be a car standing area, along with contiguous lawns and garden with a patio off the dining room. On the southern side there will be a walled kitchen garden, which is an extremely attractive retained feature. On the eastern side is an orchard/paddock, which is well stocked with apple trees which are indigenous to the Tamar valley.
The property is situated close to the villages of Landrake and Tideford, just off the A38. The village of Landrake has a post office/general store, church, chapel, public house, primary school and active village hall.

Plymouth also provides a ferry port to France and Spain.
