General Remarks And Location - This building and land was formerly part of Penventinnie House. It nestles within the valley slope of the River Kenwyn just a short distance from the developed environs of Truro and approached via Penventinnie Lane. It is a lovely sheltered and wooded site which has been landscaped on several levels and with two vehicular access points from the adjacent highway. Class Q consent was acknowledged on the 24th August 2024 for the conversion of the existing building to a 3 bedroom dwelling.

Penventinnie Lane is a minor road descending the valley behind the Royal Cornwall Hospital Hospital and connecting with the minor road leading up through the the Kenwyn valley to Tregavethan from the hamlet of Boscolla. The valley is notably unspoilt and with little or no new development it is a haven for walking. The various amenities of the centre of Truro are just over a mile from the property whereas the nearby environs include the Richard Lander School, Truro College, Truro Prep School and the Primary School at Threemilestone. The Truro Golf Club is also nearby whilst out-of-town stores include Homebase, Currys's/PC World, Next, Argos, Pizza Express and a host of other outlets.
There is access to the A30 (about 4 miles) and hence easy access to all parts of the county including north and south cornish coasts.

The Site - The site extends to approximately 0.48 of an acre. It has been landscaped by way of terraces to maximise use of the natural slope and there are two vehicular entrances with a driveway leading to the existing Tractor Shed. Mature trees are a particular feature and in the lower part of the plot there are a large number of specimen rhododendrons.

The Tractor Shed Proposal - This is essentially a timber frame rectangular building providing an overall floor area of 93 sq metres. The plans for the conversion provide for 3 bedrooms, bathroom, open plan lounge/dining room and kitchen.

Directions - There are various ways to approach Penventinnie but the most direct route is by taking the slip road off the roundabout on the A39 which provides access to the Royal Cornwall Hospital Hospital. Do not turn into the hospital car park entrances but continue around to the rear of the hospital where the road ultimately leads down a quiet lane into the countryside. Continue down this road for approximately a quarter of a mile and the entrance into "The Tractor Shed" will be on the right hand side with a "for sale" board displayed (just after passing Penventinnie House).
