Summary - 3 SCHOOL HILL SOUTH PETHERWIN LAUNCESTON PL15 7JB
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact two-bedroom period home suitable for over-60s retirement living.
Tucked-away cottage overlooking the village church and graveyard
A quaint two-bedroom cottage set in a tucked-away position overlooking the village church and graveyard — ideal for someone seeking a compact, characterful retirement home. The house retains original features such as an inglenook fireplace with clome oven, slate floors and exposed stonework, and benefits from a wood-burning stove and mostly UPVC double glazing. A large sunroom/dining room opens to an enclosed rear garden with patio and mature planting.
The property is small (c. 451 sq ft) and layout is multi-storey with low ceilings in parts of the kitchen, so it suits downsizers or buyers looking for low-maintenance living rather than large living spaces. Both bedrooms are doubles and the shower room has natural light from a skylight. The cottage has been in the same family for nearly 30 years and is offered chain free.
This home is being marketed with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for purchasers aged 60+; the example Lifetime Lease guide price is £120,500 (market value quoted at £180,000). Lifetime Lease terms and the exact price depend on age and personal circumstances; buyers should verify tenure, lease details and any fee structure before committing. Tenure is not confirmed and should be checked with a solicitor.
Practical points: broadband in the village is very slow and the property will need some modernization to a contemporary standard (kitchen fittings are rustic and dated). Crime is very low and the village has primary schooling, a pub and basic amenities, with Launceston two miles away for wider services and A30 access.
