Summary - 8b, Kensey Place, LAUNCESTON PL15 9EJ
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Renovated two-bedroom garden apartment with long lease and no onward chain.
Grade II listed, character features retained throughout
A well-presented Grade II listed apartment arranged over two levels, quietly elevated yet within easy walking distance of Launceston town centre. The recently renovated interior retains character details such as exposed beams, stained glass and traditional flooring while offering contemporary fittings, an open-plan kitchen/living area and a master bedroom with en-suite. Fast FTTP broadband and excellent mobile signal make this a practical home for remote working.
Practical positives include a low-maintenance enclosed rear garden (sold on a separate title), a very long lease (commenced 1980; 999-year term) and sale with no onward chain, making a swift move realistic. The property sits in a mid-terrace of historic granite construction and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing.
Important considerations: the apartment’s Grade II listed status means alterations will be restricted and may complicate permissions and future works. The freeholder/flat-share arrangements require joint responsibility for building insurance and major maintenance (roof/foundations) with the neighbouring flat. The garden being on a separate title and shared upkeep responsibilities are points to verify legally before purchase.
Location strengths include short walks to shops, schools and local amenities plus good road and rail access to larger centres. Note the wider area statistics indicate higher-than-average crime and local deprivation; buyers should satisfy themselves on neighbourhood suitability. Overall, this is a characterful, move-in-ready two-bedroom apartment suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a town-centre property with period charm and long-term security of tenure.
