This first-floor, three-bedroom apartment on Tower Street offers a bright, practical home or buy-to-let in central Launceston. Set in a small block of four, it benefits from a private shared entrance, generous kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility and a sitting room with far-reaching views towards Dartmoor. The communal outdoor area and an allocated lockable store add useful outside space and secure storage.
The layout is straightforward and well presented, with built-in bedroom storage and an updated shower room plus separate WC. At about 755 sq ft the flat feels roomy for its footprint and is ready for immediate occupation or rental. Service charges and ground rent are modest, and there are 90 years remaining on the lease — a practical detail to factor into mortgage or investment calculations.
Buyers should note some material downsides: heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly compared with gas, broadband speeds are very slow, and the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation than nearby districts. These factors may affect running costs, resale and rental demand for some buyers.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, move-in-ready home close to town amenities and schools, or an investor looking for a manageable rental in a small block. The generous communal space, good natural light and Castle/Dartmoor views are tangible strengths; consider the lease length, heating type and connectivity when comparing options locally.
