THE LOCATION

Perran Foundry is an historic landmark development that once formed a hugely important part of the Cornish mining industry. Perran Foundry is one of three major iron foundries in Cornwall founded in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries manufacturing steam pumping engines for draining tin and copper mines. Perranworthal with neighbouring Perranwell is a very popular and thriving community almost midway between Falmouth and Truro and easily accessible to Redruth. In the immediate area, there is a range of facilities for day-to-day needs including the Norway Inn with a highly regarded restaurant and local ales, a shop, church, public house, primary school as well as modern village hall with its associated range of social activities. The area is incredibly well placed for the creeks of the Fal Estuary and Mylor Yacht Harbour (where Sir Ben Ainslie learnt to Sail) just a short drive away, arguably some of the best day-sailing waters in the UK. Both Falmouth and Truro are approximately six miles away providing an extensive range of facilities including national class schools and colleges, hospitals, The National Maritime Musem, Hall for Cornwall and mainline railway connections to London Paddington. Newquay Airport is approximately 30 miles away with a range of domestic and European flights.

AGENTS NOTES

The site at Perran Foundry is a fantastic development which has saved these important buildings from being lost forever. The area played a huge part in the tin and copper mining heritage of the county and the technology of the industrial past. The conversion of the buildings took a huge amount of planning and investment to accomplish and to an extent is still continuing. it is worth noting that flood prevention and mitigation was a huge part of the design and build process and there is in fact an automatic flood barrier / gate which can rise to prevent tidal flooding when needed. Also on the surrounding site Japanese knotweed was identified and there is a treatment process and schedule in place for that. On the site at Perran Foundry there is another large building which we are told may be converted at some future point and there are also a number of building plots along the edge of the river where land has been identified to continue the development and build the community.
