Development Site For 5 Dwellings, Shop, Morwenstow EX23

The site and situation - EX23 9SQ

An opportunity to acquire a development site for the erection of up to 5 dwellings on the edge of this attractive North Cornwall coastal hamlet. The site currently has outline planning permission (Ref.PA21/09331) which is due to lapse on 27th May 2025, so the vendor has commissioned the same architect to submit a new outline planning application to Cornwall Council to renew the consent.

The majority of the site is relatively level with a modern agricultural barn and old sand school area on the southern part and it extends to approximately 0.40 hectares (1.0 acres), excluding the driveway as this will be retained by the vendor with rights of way granted for the site.

The hamlet of Shop is located in the north Cornish parish of Morwenstow approximately 11 miles to the north of Bude with its wide range of educational, recreational and leisure facilities. The village of Kilkhampton is less than 5 miles to the south and offers a good range of day to day facilities. The site is situated just over a mile from the beaches and rugged cliffs along the Hartland Heritage coastline to the west. Morwenstow is an active rural parish and within walking distance of the site is an Ofsted Outstanding rated Primary School, a community centre with a range of weekly activities, a children's playground and parish store and coffee shop. It also has the National Trust owned Coombe Valley, tucked away beaches and a well respected public house, The Bush Inn - located near the cliffs.
Method of sale


Offers are invited in the region of £400,000 for the freehold site. Conditional offers, subject to the renewal of the Outline planning will be considered. The vendor owns the land immediately to the east and this may be available by negotiation or an option may be considered.
