Converting Two Old Tin Mining Cottages Into a Luxury Hilltop Home

Funded: £666,250
Location: Cornwall, Devon
Property Type: Residential
Funds For: Development
Timeframe: Client Deadline

We were approached by a developer who was part way through converting two old mining cottages into a large, luxury hilltop home in Devon.

The property, constructed of Cornish Granite, has breathtaking panoramic views of St Austell and the local area and sits on 26.8 acres of land.

The client was introduced to Lowry Capital after having funding pulled by another lender, days before completion. 

The project was legally complex, and all parties had to persevere and work towards a solution which worked for both Lowry Capital and the client.

Lowry Capital funded £666,250 across multiple tranches and using our streamlined lending process the developer was able to resume development of the property and quickly complete the remaining build to the highest standard. 

The result is a stunning contemporary home, complete with an office/ studio, annex, en suite bathroom and a fabulous reception room.

The beautiful property is now listed on the market for £1,695,000 and the client is expected to make a healthy profit.
