Trecarrell, Launceston £240,000

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul de sac is this 3 bedroom semi detached house. Cared for by our vendor for many years the property is found in good order and has a larger than average rear garden plus off road parking. You enter the property into a hallway with staircase to the first floor. Off the hallway is a large front to rear sitting room with a view over the rear garden. Opposite the sitting room is a separate dining room with a doorway through to the kitchen. In recent years our vendor has replaced the kitchen with a range of modern eye and base units with ample worktop space and integrated appliances. The kitchen also benefits from having a good sized pantry. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful utility room, ground floor WC and store cupboard where you will find a door that leads to the driveway and seating area.

On the first floor are 3 bedrooms and family bathroom. There are 2 double bedrooms and 1 large single/small double. Bedrooms 1 and 2 overlook the front of the property. Bedroom 3 overlooks the rear garden with a view towards Dartmoor National Park in the distance. The family bathroom has a matching three-piece suite including a shower over the bath. In front of the property is a well-stocked flowerbed with steps to the front door. Our vendor has created off-road parking for two vehicles in tandem. To the rear of the property is a large and enclosed garden that has a generous lawn flanked with well established flower borders and shrubs. There is a large patio area overlooking the garden that is ideal for outside dining in the summer months.

Launceston is an ancient town steeped in history with the imposing Launceston Castle overlooking the town and surrounding area. Referred to as 'the gateway to Cornwall' Launceston is centred one mile (1.6 km) West of the River Tamar, which constitutes almost the entire border between the Cornish peninsular and Devon, the A30 is ideally located on the fringe of Launceston connecting to the rest of Cornwall with great access to the beautiful coastline whilst providing great access to Plymouth and Exeter and beyond. The town itself offers a variety of individual businesses from boutiques to fine food shops, blending with occasional national outlets including Tesco, M&S Food and Costa coffee. Local facilities include a leisure centre, medical facilities and well regarded primary and secondary schooling.

Did you know? The very impressive Launceston Castle dates from Norman times. Before the 13th century AD Launceston used to be the capital of the Earldom of Cornwall. Launceston has given its name to other places in the world including Australia. The Cornish name is Lannstefan and Lannstefan is Cornish for Church of St Stephen.
