- Charming character cottage
- Close to Launceston's historic town centre
- Two bedrooms with built in storage
- Rear courtyard garden
- Would benefit from updating
- Viewing highly recommended
With its traditional box sash windows and part Cornish slate elevation, this home is full of character and makes a simply fabulous first impression. Inside the accommodation would benefit from some updating, and offers a cosy sitting room, kitchen, and two bedrooms each with built-in storage, plus a first-floor bathroom.
A bonus is the enclosed rear courtyard—rare for a home so close to the town centre, and perhaps perfect for those with children and pets. Set within a designated conservation area, this is a fantastic opportunity for a first home, Cornish retreat, or investment.
Location
Launceston – Cornwall’s Historic Gateway
Steeped in history and brimming with character, Launceston is a town that proudly showcases its past while offering easy access to some of Cornwall and Devon’s most stunning landscapes. Dominated by its striking Norman castle, this former county capital is a treasure trove of historic architecture, from medieval ruins to grand Georgian facades.
Winding streets lead to an array of independent shops, traditional pubs, and cosy cafés, while the surrounding countryside offers scenic walking trails and rolling green landscapes. Positioned on the Cornwall-Devon border, Launceston is perfectly placed for exploring both counties, with the rugged beauty of Bodmin Moor to the west and the Tamar Valley’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the east. With excellent road links via the A30, this historic town provides a charming and well-connected base to enjoy the best of the South West.
