A landmark building in Cornwall has gone on the market for £3m.

The Old County Hall building in Truro, which was purpose-built for Cornwall County Council in 1890, with 0.925 acres of adjacent development land is being marketed through property consultants Alder King.

The Grade II listed landmark building includes the 30,951 sq ft main building and already has planning and listed building consent for conversion into a 43-bedroom hotel, and the construction of a new building to provide 23 apart-hotel suites. A further planning application is pending for converting the building into 34 residential units, with a new build development of 45 apartments.

Alder King, which has its headquarters in Bristol, said other potential uses could include care, student and commercial use, subject to planning. Ian Simpson, partner at Alder King in Truro, is handling the sale.

Mr Simpson said: “This is a unique opportunity to acquire one of Truro’s most well-known heritage buildings and give it a new lease of life.

“With a neo-Georgian frontage and period features including an open stairwell with heavy ballusters, vaulted ceilings and parquet floors, as well as city and countryside views, the property has enormous potential for conversion and new development.”

Cornwall County Council occupied the building from 1890 to 1966 when it moved to New County Hall. The building continued to be used by the Cornwall Record Office until its relocation to Kresen Kernow in 2019.
