Description:

A classic four bedroom detached Georgian country house on edge of Launceston with fantastic views back towards the town and Dartmoor National Park. Three reception rooms, study. Set in 0.6 acres of mature grounds with various outbuildings including garage/workshop and period greenhouse.

SITUATION
Situated at the very edge of Launceston, just off the A388 Launceston to Holsworthy road, with no immediate neighbours.
Launceston is the ancient capital of Cornwall and boasts a number of historical buildings including the Norman castle and Victorian Guildhall and Town Hall. There is a wide variety of shopping available both in the town centre and the out of town retail park (both independently and nationally owned) together with a range of service businesses, medical facilities and schooling at both primary and secondary levels (private and state sector). The town has a good sports centre, many clubs and societies catering for a wide variety of interests and two 18 hole golf courses within 3 miles.
Access to Plymouth, Exeter, Truro via road are all within an hours travelling time. The city of Plymouth offers sea and rail links being approximately 29 miles from Launceston. The city of Exeter has rail links and an international airport being approximately 40 miles from Launceston.
DESCRIPTION
A classic four bedroom Georgian country house, with its rendered and slate tiled hung facade, under a slate roof with imposing chimney breasts, high ceilings, substantial windows, classic carved staircase and stunning fireplaces. A quintessential Englishman's home. South facing gardens and in our opinion one of the finest views across the ancient town of Launceston towards the castle and Dartmoor beyond. The grounds extend to 0.6 acres with a mixture of formal and cultivated areas with a stunning old fashioned greenhouse with vine, large garage/workshop, various useful outbuildings, small orchard, a wealth of flowers, trees and shrubs including a very mature Monkey Puzzle tree, various Beech and Fir trees.
