Set within about 3.34 acres of meadow and gardens, The Farmhouse is a newly renovated Georgian/Victorian stone home offering substantial family accommodation across three floors. The house has six double bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a flexible layout with four to five reception rooms — ideal for multi-generational living, home working (where connectivity allows) or entertaining. High ceilings, exposed timbers, slate and timber floors, wood-burning stoves and large sash/French windows give the house strong period character and generous natural light from a south‑west aspect.
The kitchen/breakfast room opens through three pairs of French doors onto the rear garden, creating a large indoor‑outdoor entertaining space in fine weather. Practical outbuildings and a sizeable gravelled parking area provide useful storage and parking for several vehicles. The property is detached, sits in largely unspoilt countryside about a mile from the nearest road, and has only two neighbouring properties — a genuinely rural setting while remaining roughly three miles from Launceston’s shops and services.
Buyers should note a number of practical considerations. Mobile signal is absent and broadband speeds are very slow, so the house is not suited to anyone needing reliable rural connectivity without significant investment. Heating runs from an LPG boiler and bottled fuel costs are typically higher than mains gas. The external granite walls appear to have no modern cavity insulation, which could affect running costs despite the recent sympathetic renovations. Council tax is described as expensive.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking a characterful family home or a rural lifestyle change: those who value space, seclusion and traditional features. It also suits buyers prepared to manage or invest in rural infrastructure improvements (connectivity, potential insulation works) to tailor the home to modern energy and communication expectations.
