Manor Park Home Estate and Avalon House, Resugga Green, Penwithick, St Austell, Cornwall, PL26 8YP
Background and the Opportunity
Manor Park Home Estate represents a good investment
opportunity with an existing high level of income from rental
homes which, in the longer term, may provide for profitable
redevelopment. In addition, there is potential, subject to
planning, which is currently beingpursued by the vendors,
for the development of some holiday static caravans on a
separate site. The owner’s house is currently let on an Assured
Shorthold Tenancy Agreement.
The property is being sold by the Executor’s of the former owner.
Location
Manor Park Home Estate and Avalon House occupy a
commanding hilltop position with excellent views over the
surrounding countryside and towards Bodmin Moor. The
property is located in the hamlet of Resugga Green which
comprises a small number of houses, just north of the village of
Penwithick. The local centre of Bugle, 2 miles to the north, has
a selection of local shops with the major centres of St Austell, 4
miles to the south and Bodmin, 9 miles to the north, both within
easy driving distance and with a wide range of retail, service
and leisure outlets.
Communications to the property are good with access within
a short distance to the B3374 which in turn links into the A391
between St Austell and Bodmin, with access to the A30 trunk
route into Cornwall from Devon. There is a local bus service from
Resugga Green to St Austell and Bugle which in turn connects
to services to Bodmin and other places in Cornwall and further
afield. St Austell and Bodmin Parkway Stations are on the
mainline between Penzance and London Paddington Station.
The Eden Project is located a few miles to the south and the
coast at St Austell is within 6 miles of the property.

The Business
Tenure
The park currently generates a substantial level of rental
income. The privately owned and life tenancies are reviewed
annually in May by the Retail Prices Index and are currently
charged at a variable rate of £86 -£204.77 per month exclusive
of services and Council Tax. The current total pitch fee income
is £66,895 – an average pitch fee of £1,760 per home per
annum ((£146.70 per month).

Act Agreements in respect of the privately owned park homes,
life tenancies in respect of 3 park homes and individual, 6

home letting fleet and Avalon House with the paddock.
The rental homes are mainly let at £100 per week (£5,200
per annum) with one larger unit at £120 per week (£6,240
per annum) and therefore, if fully occupied would generate
£115,440 (3 homes / pitches currently vacant).

Avalon House together with the paddock is let at £850 per
month exclusive of services and Council Tax at a rent of £850
per month (£10,200 per annum).
