Set within about 5.59 acres of pasture and woodland, Downicary Cottage is a traditional 4‑bed semi‑detached stone home offering genuine countryside space and conversion potential. The property includes a generous courtyard, a range of stone and timber outbuildings and a former poultry shed that could provide workshop or storage space. There is scope to convert one stone outbuilding (subject to consents) and adapt the annexe/store room to suit a growing family or home business.
The interior retains period character throughout: exposed beams, timber floors, wood‑framed windows and a large, currently non‑operational fireplace. Accommodation comprises a kitchen/dining room, large sitting room with adjacent study space, and four first‑floor bedrooms served by a bathroom and a shower room. The house is comfortable in layout but presents as a traditional home rather than a modern, fully upgraded dwelling.
Important practical points: heating is by oil‑fired boiler with radiators and the EPC is F. Mains water is shared with the neighbour (sub‑meter) and drainage is via a shared private septic tank. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is limited — factors to consider if you work from home. The granite walls are original and likely uninsulated, so prospective buyers should expect upgrading and running‑cost improvement work if desired.
This property suits buyers seeking rural lifestyle and space — families who want land for hobby farming, buyers looking to renovate and add value, or those wanting equestrian/pasture land close to Launceston. There is no onward chain, which may speed a move for a buyer prepared to accept a period property requiring sympathetic updating.
