THE PROPERTY

6 Rosva Wenton offers an opportunity to own a property under a Section 106 agreement. This agreement, allows for the marketing of this property at a Council-approved figure of £182,000, representing 70% of its full market value of £260,000. Please note that the sale price cannot exceed £182,000. The ultimate decision on which qualifying person to proceed with rests with the owner, following viewings and offers received. Please note that Cornwall Council only assess one applicant at a time.

Cornwall Council has streamlined the process for dealing with properties such as this. There is no longer a registration or nomination process; instead, Cornwall Council assess proposed buyers directly. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that any interested parties clearly meet the eligibility criteria. Once a prospective buyer has been identified, we will direct them to complete the Council eligibility form.

Whilst of conventional cavity wall construction the front features attractive stone elevations under a concrete tiled roof. Windows are double glazed and there is a comprehensive system of gas fired central heating. A pedestrian door at ground level opens into a small hallway with stairs leading up to the first floor. Here there is a spacious open plan room incorporating sitting and dining areas with a fitted kitchen to one side. An inner lobby provides access to a bathroom and two bedrooms. In total, there is approximately 665 sq ft (almost 62 sq metres) of internal floor area. The single garage on the ground floor has an up and over door with a rear pedestrian door opening to a private enclosed garden mostly laid to lawn. There is a tarmacadam forecourt in front of the garage for additional parking.

If you are trying to purchase a discount sale or local needs affordable home, you need to apply through a Cornwall Council process. Only once you have viewed and made an offer on a Section 106 property, the estate agent (Philip Martin) will confirm whether you are the proceeding applicant. You do not need to complete the assessment process if you have not been chosen to purchase the property. The Council will check whether you meet the provisions in the Section 106 agreement and verify your eligibility for the property.
