Summary - THORNMOOR THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE ST GILES ON THE HEATH LAUNCESTON PL15 9SN
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious Victorian cottage with large landscaped gardens and stunning rural outlook.
Immaculate detached four-bedroom period home with long-range countryside views
Set on the site of a former Victorian school, The Old School House is an attractive four-bedroom detached home with exceptional long-range countryside views. The house is presented in immaculate order, with a light reception hall, a modern kitchen, four reception rooms and a bright glazed garden room that frames the south-facing landscaped garden.
The principal bedroom is dual aspect with a freestanding clawfoot bath in the en suite; there are three further bedrooms and a large family bathroom. Ground-floor versatility includes a study that could serve as a fifth bedroom, a sitting room with a character stone fireplace and multi-fuel stove, plus a convenient modern shower room. Off-street parking for four to five cars sits behind a gated entrance.
Practical points to note: a new private drainage treatment plant was installed in May 2025 and treated waste is pumped across the neighbouring field to a natural water course (the property has access over that field for inspection and maintenance). Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators; the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated and double glazing was installed before 2002. Broadband speeds are very slow in this remoter hamlet.
This property will suit a family or anyone seeking a spacious rural home with substantial gardens and privacy. Its setting offers easy road access to Launceston, Tavistock and Holsworthy and a short drive to the A30 corridor for wider travel. The nearby villages provide basic amenities and good primary schools, while Dartmoor and both coasts are within reach for outdoor recreation.
