Summary - Alder Park, Under Lane PL15 8SN
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Character home with extensive gardens, outbuildings and riverside setting.
Attractive Grade II thatched cottage dating to circa 1600
A rare example of a 17th‑century thatched cottage set in over an acre of private riverside grounds, Alder Park combines period character with productive outbuildings. Exposed beams, vaulted first‑floor ceilings, window seats and a striking stone fireplace give the house genuine charm and a cosy feel. The plot includes a large pond, two greenhouses, a potting shed, a well, garages and a substantial workshop — excellent for hobbyists or small‑scale growing.
The accommodation is compact and traditionally laid out: two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, three double bedrooms and one family bathroom. The master bedroom benefits from extensive built‑in storage and French doors to the garden. Heating is by LPG boiler with radiators (boiler in an external utility); many original features remain alongside modern comforts.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate refurbishment or extension. The site sits in a high flood‑risk area and borders the River Kensey, so flood resilience and insurance costs are likely to be material considerations. The overall internal area is modest (around 664 sq ft) with just one bathroom, and council tax is above average.
For a family or buyer seeking character and outdoor space close to Launceston and the A30, this cottage offers a peaceful riverside lifestyle and substantial outbuildings. It will particularly suit those who value historic fabric and productive garden space but accept the practical constraints of listed status and flood risk.
