With its pristine beaches and gorgeous coastline, Cornwall house prices have exploded in recent years – so much so that a public toilet block is now on the market for £180,000.
Unfortunately, you can’t actually live in the loo.
Instead, it’s being flogged as a development opportunity for the right buyer.
The plot of land in Saltash town has planning permission for a 152 sq m four-bedroom detached house, What’s The Jam. reports.

Described as an “exciting and unique development opportunity”, the toilet is being sold alongside graphics of how a house with an en-suite master bedroom could be built on the land in Saltash, Cornwall.
The average detached house in the area currently sells for £380,750 – so this could be quite the deal, if you keep building costs low.

However, it’s worth noting that the £180,000 is only a guide price and the property could well sell for more.
The description reads: “A fab building plot with planning for a 152sqm stylish four-bedroom detached house!

“The plot is located just a stone’s throw from local shops and amenities and benefits from quick and easy access to the A38 & A388.
“The proposed dwelling is set over three floors and is surrounded by openness and space.

“The design allows for a wonderful outlook and off-road covered parking for at least two vehicles.

“The property has been cleverly designed such that it will be flooded with natural light as well as a south-west facing private fully usable garden.”
While there is currently a public toilet on the land, the guide price will cover its demolition and removal.

Water and sewage drains should already exist at the site – you’d certainly hope so, given it’s a toilet block.
The property is a freehold for sale with Belvoir! in Saltash.
