Truro Properties Going Under the Hammer: What’s on Offer?

Exciting Auction Opportunities in Truro City Centre

A former nightclub at the heart of Truro city centre could soon see a new lease of life. The Office, located on St Mary’s Street, is set to be auctioned with planning permission for conversion into four flats and associated development, subject to conditions set by Cornwall Council.

Auctioneer David Henwood, from Clive Emson Land and Property Auctioneers, said:
“This is a rare opportunity to acquire an extensive freehold building. It is situated in the heart of Truro city centre, located a stone’s throw from the historic Truro Cathedral. It offers potential for continued use as a nightclub, while the planning permission for residential conversion may appeal to some bidders.”

The property is being auctioned jointly with Miller Commercial and is one of 174 lots in Clive Emson’s first sale of 2025, which concludes on 6th February, with bidding live from 4th February.

In addition to the nightclub, two properties in Goodern Drive are also listed for auction:
