Description
The Property
Situated in the peaceful rural village of Boyton, just a short drive from Launceston, Queens Acre is a much-loved detached home with 250 years of history. Unlisted and rich in original features, it blends traditional charm with modern comfort and offers flexibility for future alterations if desired. The welcoming entrance hall, with its flagstone flooring and fireplace with wood burner, sets the tone for the period character found throughout. The drawing room is bright and elegant, featuring a period open fireplace and French windows with original shutters. At the heart of the home is a spacious open plan kitchen and dining area with an oil-fired AGA, electric oven and hob, plate warmer, and under counter fridge. A utility room with shower and the oil fired boiler sits just off the kitchen, while a downstairs WC adds further convenience.
