## Description

A rare opportunity to acquire land with outline Planning Consent for the construction of two dwellings and the formation of three unassociated car parking spaces within the ancient town of Marazion.

Land on corner of School Lane and Gwallon Lane,

Marazion Playing Field, Marazion,

Near Penzance TR17 0DG

SITUATION

Established by  Royal Charter, the ancient town of Marazion with local shopping facilities, eating places, public houses, primary school and health centre, is a renowned centre of tourism and a thriving all-year-round community.  Linked to the world famous St Michael's Mount by causeway and ferry, the town is also a magnet for artists, with several galleries in the centre.  Beaches are located in Marazion and also the west end of the town, going towards Long Rock. On the Penzance side of Marazion can be found Marazion Marsh, a large reed bed designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.  Penzance is 3 miles distant where a more comprehensive range of banks, shops, supermarkets, schools, college, health and leisure facilities is available.  From Penzance on a regular basis, there is a helicopter service to the enchanting Isles of Scilly and for those seeking a more sedate form of transport, the islands are regularly serviced by the Scillonian Ferry from Penzance harbour.  Penzance also has the benefit of a main line railway station with regular services to London Paddington.
