With its stunning beaches and beautiful coastline, house prices in Cornwall have skyrocketed in recent years, meaning a public toilet block is now on the market for £180,000.
Nevertheless, you are still unable to actually live in the toilet. Instead, it's being called a development opportunity for the right buyer.
But the area of land in Saltash town has received planning permission for a 152 sq metre four-bedroom detached house, according to What'sTheJam. It's been described as an "exciting and unique development opportunity" with the toilet being sold alongside graphics of how a house with an en-suite master bedroom could be constructed on the land in Saltash, Cornwall.
The average detached house in the area currently sells for £380,750 – so this could be quite the deal, if you keep building costs low. But it's worth considering that the £180,000 is only a guide price and the property might sell for more.
The description reads: “A fab building plot with planning for a 152sqm stylish four-bedroom detached house! The plot is located just a stone’s throw from local shops and amenities and benefits from quick and easy access to the A38 & A388.
“The proposed dwelling is set over three floors and is surrounded by openness and space. The design allows for a wonderful outlook and off-road covered parking for at least two vehicles.
“The property has been cleverly designed such that it will be flooded with natural light as well as a south-west facing private fully usable garden.” While there is currently a public toilet on the land, the guide price will cover its demolition and removal.
Water and sewage drains should already exist at the site – you’d certainly hope so, given it’s a toilet block. The property is a freehold for sale with Belvoir! in Saltash.
