SITUATION
The popular historic town of Launceston centred around and below its Medieval Norman Castle and grounds offers a wide range of domestic, commercial and leisure facilities including leisure centre, primary and secondary school, college and an 18 hole golf course.

Launceston sits alongside the A30 dual carriageway spine road for Cornwall and Devon, providing a better balance of travel distance to all parts of the two counties than any other location. East of Launceston the City of Exeter (some 42 miles) provides intercity rail link, international airport and M5 motorway link.  To the south of Launceston the City of Plymouth (some 28 miles) offers intercity rail link, expanding local airport and continental ferry port.

DESCRIPTION
This period detached residence dates back to the late 1800’s.  From the slightly elevated position it offers arguably some of the best and most interesting views within Launceston.  Occupying a south facing plot this delightful home looks towards Launceston Castle and over the old town along with enjoying far reaching rural views over neighbouring countryside and towards Dartmoor National Park.  There are four well proportioned and elegant bedrooms and three gracious reception rooms.  Additionally there is a kitchen / breakfast room and utility room, superb luxury bathroom and a lovely garden room.  Within the grounds there is off road parking for several vehicles with a versatile large garage / workshop building.  Also this family home has been modernised to include uPVC double glazing and oil fired radiator central heating.  With a convenient and easily accessible location within striking distance of the North Cornish coastline and the nearby A30 spine road for Devon and Cornwall, one must internally view this home to fully appreciate its position and accommodation.
