A humble bungalow has hit the market for £1.5million – with ‘incredibly rare’ views off the coast of Cornwall.
The rundown home, which comes in at 782 sq ft, lies in a prime plot next to Polzeath’s sandy beach.
Although the property is unassuming it is being sold with planning permission to demolish it and replace it with two contemporary and energy-efficient five-bedroom homes.
On top of that, there are agreements in place preventing any development from taking place between the plot and the sea, guaranteeing unspoilt views for life.
The bedroom accommodation in both will be under the landscape with sunken courtyards and open plan living spaces at ground level.
Planning consent was granted in 2016 but an annexe on the site has already been demolished, meaning the permission is still extant.
Stunning photos show the plot of land by the blue sea, surrounded by shrubbery and forest-green trees.
The property is being sold by John Bray Estates, who say a prime plot like this is incredibly rare.
It is in the heart of Polzeath – a fashionable and exclusive coastal village with a beach considered a surfing mecca.

The existing property was the home of Ian Stephens for many years but is now uninhabited and in need of redevelopment.
It has just 782 sq ft of living space with a reception room, kitchen, conservatory, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
There is mains water and electricity, shared private drainage and ‘superfast’ broadband.
The garden has a gate leading directly onto the South West Coast Path, with a short walk both to the beach and the village amenities.
Josephine Ashby, of John Bray Estates, said: ‘Beachside is a single storey dwelling in a fabulous frontline position with direct access to the Southwest Coast Path and the beach.
‘It and the neighbouring property, Rigi, are protected from any future development between them and the sea.
‘The sweeping beach, sea and coastline views are breath-taking and protected in perpetuity. The potential to redevelop is very exciting.’
