RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
FORMER HOTEL WITH PLANNING PERMISSION TO CONVERT INTO THREE APARTMENTS & MASONIC LODGE
In the centre of the village close to excellent amenities.
Proposed conversion for three, two bedroom apartments over two floors.
Shared external amenity area and bin storage.
Neighbouring former masonic hall also included - further information from the sole agents.
A very rare opportunity. Viewing essential.
The Britannia Inn - A superb opportunity to create three spacious apartments within a former pub in the heart of Chacewater. Planning permission was granted by Cornwall Council on 30th June 2021 (planning reference PA20/09547) For "Proposed conversion of building to form three self contained units and associated works".
The Britannia Hotel has been closed for several years and whilst originally a coaching inn, it has been run as a public house for many years. It is a handsome building which is thought to have been built in the early nineteenth century, not surprisingly it is Grade II Listed. The building had been completely gutted internally by the previous tenant and subsequently the local planning authority has given consent to convert into three individual apartments. As the internal walls have been removed, a lot of the work has already been done. An internal viewing is essential.
Conditions - Planning permission has been granted subject to the following conditions.
1 The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of 3 years from the date of this permission.
Reason: In accordance with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended by Section 51 of the Planning and
Compulsory Purchase Act 2004).
2 The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the plans listed below under the heading "Plans Referred to in Consideration of this
Application".
Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
3 On demolition of the existing single-storey toilet block sited to the rear of the building to which this consent relates, the exposed walling and ground surfaces
shall be made good in accordance with a detailed scheme which shall have been submitted to and subsequently agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To safeguard the character and setting of this building which is listed as being of special architectural or historic interest and the wider character of the Chacewater Conservation Area in accordance with the aims and intentions of Policy 24 of the Local Plan Strategic Policies 2010-2030 (Adopted 22nd
November 2016), Policies HE1, HE3 and HE4 of the Chacewater Neighbourhood Development Plan 2018-2030 and section 16 of the National Planning Policy
Framework 2019.
4 Prior to the first use or residential occupation of the dwellings hereby permitted, whichever is the sooner, the new boundary walls and associated gate to enclose the area of shared external amenity space as indicated on drawing number 18017-PL-00-03 Revision B shall be constructed and installed fully in accordance with details which shall previously have been submitted to and subsequently agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The walls and gate shall be retained as such thereafter.

Boscawen Lodge - A very imposing two storey building attached to the rear of The Britannia Hotel. Boscawen Lodge has been used until very recently as a Masonic Lodge by the Freemasons. It is thought that the building was purposely built in the mid nineteenth century for this purpose and has been rented annually ever since. There is historic evidence stating that the lodge was warranted by the Freemasons on the 16th March 1857. The building stopped being used as Masonic Lodge when the Freemasons left in December 2020 and is now offered for sale with vacant possession.
It is a fabulous building that extends to approximately 3000 square feet (279 square meters). The building is of stone construction and partly tiled on the front and side elevations. There are two main reception rooms previously used as the dining room and lodge room. In addition a further reception room, kitchen, ladies and gentlemen's toilets and imposing enclosed staircase. The ceilings are very high and there are many interesting period features. A driveway leads alongside the front of the building to the rear where there is a range of outbuildings including former coach houses (now three garages) and two carports.
Planning permission has never been sought to convert Boscawen Lodge but it offers tremendous scope for residential development.
