Bidders may be able to dig up a gem of a property at auction when a former quarry office goes under the hammer on Wednesday, May 1.

The detached building, with a freehold guide price of £230,000 plus, has views of Mounts Bay from its secluded location in Fore Street, Newlyn. 

Known as The Old Quarry Office, it has eight rooms on its ground floor and a large open plan room with a door to a flat roof area on its first floor. Its site extends to about 0.09 hectares (0.23 acres). It formerly served Penlee Quarry. 

It is among 149 lots listed in the latest auction being held by Clive Emson Land and Property Auctioneers. 

Senior auction appraiser Katie Semmens said: “This is an exciting opportunity to acquire a detached commercial building nestled in a tucked away, elevated location enjoying good sized grounds with fantastic views over Mount’s Bay. 

“It is located between the sought after areas of Newlyn and Mousehole both renowned for their picturesque harbours along with a range of local amenities, eateries and tourist attractions. 

“The property requires updating throughout and is considered to offer long-term future potential, subject to all the necessary consents.” 

The Old Quarry Office is being auctioned jointly with Marshall’s Estate Agents of Penzance.
