About this property

  • Savills are exclusively mandated to market Merryn Heights on behalf of the joint administrators, Geoffrey Bouchier and Benjamin Wiles, who act as agents for Padstow Heights Ltd and without personal liability. The park has currently been developed for a total of 10 pitches. Six are occupied by privately owned units of accommodation, with another pitch occupied by a stock unit, currently being offered for sale. The remaining three pitches are vacant. The balance of the site is currently undeveloped. Cornwall Council have granted a Certificate of Lawfulness for Existing Use or Development dated 14th February 2024 (Application number PA23/09020). The certificate is for “existing use of the land for the siting of holiday lodges (static caravans) and associated infrastructure” pursuant to Planning Permission Ref. PA12/00785. Planning Permission Ref. PA12/00785 Dated 6th March 2013 permits 25 no holiday lodges with associated parking, roads and drainage. Copies of the Certificate of Lawfulness for Existing use of Development and Planning Permission referenced above are included within the online data room. The Administrators are not currently in possession of a Site Licence for the park. Correspondence with the Local Authority is underway to obtain one. For the 2024 season four of the six privately owned units pay £2,350 per annum to include VAT. The fifth pitch pays an annual pitch fee of £879 including VAT as it is occupied by the park warden. The sixth pitch also pays a reduced pitch fee. We are currently awaiting confirmation of what the discounted pitch fee is. All pitch fees are excluding water, electricity and gas.

Local information

  • Merryn Heights is located in the area of Tregolds, approximately 2.5 miles to the southwest of Padstow. The park is adjacent to the established St Merryn Holiday Village to the north and east, and the surrounding land to the south and west are agricultural. The area is well known for tourism and retirement living due to its widely popular coastal areas, low population density, walking trails and countryside location.
  • Local attractions of Trevone Bay, Harlyn Beach and the National Trust Trevose Headland are all situated within a four-mile radius of the park. The resort of Newquay is just over 10 miles away and is a well-known tourist destination due to sandy Fistral and Watergate beaches which attract water sports enthusiasts and holidaymakers alike.
  • Access to Padstow and St Merryn is via the main A30 trunk road from the M5 heading down into Cornwall and as such the property is readily accessible to the conurbations of the M5 and M4 corridors and the Home Counties.
