Notably, the one bedroom, two storey holiday cottage has been fully renovated and offers year round rental income.

The hallway opens to the kitchen/breakfast room, which has been completely refitted with a high end kitchen designed by Define of Launceston.

Three of the remaining four bedrooms are large enough to accommodate double beds. The family bathroom is equally impressive with a walk in shower and a freestanding roll top bath.

The basement has two rooms with full head height, one with a sliding patio door to the rear, offering many possible uses such as a hobby room, gym, or home theatre.

The property has been upgraded with new lighting, plumbing, electrics, flooring, and external windows and doors, with traditional internal doors that complement the period style. The heating is provided by an LPG fired system, controlled via a Honeywell system.

Langham Cottage, the detached one bedroom holiday let, has been completely renovated and offers a private space ideal for guests or rental income.

The studio also includes a WC and shower, making it suitable for long days of use.

The formal side garden features raised vegetable beds and gravel paths, along with a large greenhouse/potting shed. The remainder of the garden is mainly lawned, with a mix of shrubs, bushes, and young specimen trees. An orchard with various fruit trees adds further appeal. A two storey outbuilding, previously granted planning permission for conversion, offers potential for additional accommodation (subject to further investigation).

The land extends to the rear and side, with separate road access. It consists of well drained pasture, suitable for livestock, and the total plot size is 4.5 acres.
