A sought-after plot of land has sold for more than £100,000 above asking price in Cornwall. St Just’s green pack attracted a number of interested parties who battled it out for the best deal.

The Boswarlos site was listed with a freehold guide price of £45,000-plus but attracted much higher offers. Including bogs, a well-tended garden and a summer house, people were eager to get their hands on it.

Sold at auction with Clive Emson, the 3.5 acre site eventually fetched £147,809. Lead auctioneer Katie Semmens said: “This beautiful piece of Cornish countryside proved extremely popular at auction.”
