Laneast, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15

This Grade II Listed home is situated in the heart of a charming village, opposite the parish church and set above the beautiful Inny Valley, which offers miles of scenic country walks. Dating back to the 18th century and thoughtfully converted in the 1990’s, the property presents an appealing blend of character and modern comfort. Notable features include beamed ceilings, exposed lintels, stonework and timber flooring. It is well suited to a wide range of purchasers, particularly those seeking an accessible country lifestyle.

The accommodation is entered via a stable door into a welcoming entrance hall with a study area. The inviting lounge enjoys a dual aspect, with double doors opening onto the patio and an additional stable door to the side. A wood burning stove creates a warm and atmospheric focal point. The spacious kitchen and dining room is fitted with traditional units complemented by granite worktops, free standing furniture and a Belfast style sink. An oil fired Aga is also in place. A delightful sun room, added in recent years, overlooks the rear garden and provides a peaceful space in which to relax. A shower room with WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the striking landing is filled with natural light from a large window and, like the dual aspect principal bedroom, benefits from far reaching views across the valley. The two remaining bedrooms are both of a good size, each capable of accommodating a double bed, with the second bedroom also featuring a built-in airing cupboard. The family shower room includes a generously sized tray with a rainfall style shower.

Modern conveniences include a combination of timber and UPVC double glazing, with oil fired central heating providing warmth throughout. Recessed downlighters have been installed, and selected sockets offer USB connectivity.

The property is securely enclosed within its grounds, which extend to nearly 0.5 of an acre and are accessed via gates. There is ample parking, along with a double carport and wood store. Adjacent is a substantial store and workshop, both equipped with power and lighting. The gardens are a particular highlight, wrapping around the barn and offering a vibrant display of colour throughout the seasons, with a variety of shrubs, bushes, perennials and young trees. For those with an interest in gardening, there is a greenhouse, raised beds and a chicken run, while a well stocked pond attracts an abundance of wildlife. Outdoor living can be enjoyed from the decking or patio areas, and a lawn provides further space for recreation and relaxation.

The property sits in the centre of the village of Laneast approximately 8 miles from Launceston. The village itself has a Parish Church and within one mile there is the Moorview Service Station and a County Primary School and further village amenities at Altarnun.
