THE PARTICULARS
All measurements are approximate. None of the fittings or appliances have been tested by ourselves.

SITUATION
Pencroft occupies a stunning position beside the ancient town of Launceston, considered the gateway to Cornwall within reach of the A30 dual carriageway spine road between Cornwall and Devon. The South of the town enjoys a better balance of travel distance to all parts of the two counties than any other centre.

Launceston has medieval origins and is centred around the dramatic ruins of a Norman Castle. The town boasts a good range of retail services (both independently and nationally owned) together with a complementary range of service businesses, medical facilities and schooling at both primary and secondary levels (private and state sectors).

The town has a good sports centre, many clubs and societies catering for a wide and varied range of interests and two 18 hole golf courses within 3 miles.

In all directions of Launceston there is stunning scenery be it the North Cornish Coast with picturesque fishing villages, surfing family beaches and National Trust cliff scenery. In the East, the Dartmoor National Park, to the South the hidden and beautiful Tamar Valley and to the West the wilds of Bodmin Moor.

To the East of Launceston, Exeter City provides M5 motorway link, intercity rail link and expanding local airport. To the South, Plymouth, provides intercity rail link, expanding airport and continental ferry port.
