A disused water tower with stunning views has gone up on the market in one of Cornwall's most sought after locations – for £225,000.

The Watertower at Treworlas, on the Roseland Peninsula, features 180 degree views and 0.2 acres of land ideal for future development.

Nestled in a quiet rural area near the villages of Portscatho and Gerrans, the site is within sight of Falmouth and the Carrick Roads.

The tower itself measures 8.5m diameter x 5.5m high (27’10” diameter x 18’0”) and is constructed with concrete walls, with two access hatch openings in the roofscape.

While the property has no current planning permission, if developed it would sit only 15 minutes from the popular Porthcurnick Beach.

The site comes with a parking space and vehicular access, gardens and the former pumphouse itself.

With access to mains electricity, water and broadband already, the site would only need drainage installed.

Estate agents Philip Martin are handling the sale of the property, with an asking price in excess of £225,000.
