A group of squatters who moved into a £450,000 bungalow in Maenporth have been given 28 days to vacate the property.

Justin Sparks and two other friends moved into the bungalow at West Bay after it had been empty for 29 years.

Mr Sparks defended his actions and said that he simply needed somewhere to live and had done extensive renovation work on the bungalow.

During a hearing at Truro county court the judge made a possession order in favour of the owner of the bungalow, Christina Walker, which means the squatters now have 28 days to leave.

The squatters did not attend the court hearing but an agent representing the solicitors of the owners of the bungalow was present.
