Altarnun, Launceston, PL15

A substantial unlisted five bedroom Edwardian, stone built farmhouse under a slate roof with slate floors and high ceilingas, constructed at the turn of the last century in an enviable location. An annexe was added in the last 20 years by the present owners, creating a wonderful ground floor living space, suitable as granny annexe or holiday let. The roof has been replaced and has the potential for loft conversion, subject to any necessary planning permission being granted.

The property comprises; porch / boot / dog room, entrance hall, hallway, kitchen, dining room, drawing room, study and scullery / utility. Access door through scullery into annexe which comprises bedroom, lounge with possibility of kitchenette, boiler room, wet room / shower room and separate entrance hall. On the first floor of the main residence are five bedrooms in total, with master en-suite and family bathroom.

The oil fired Aga provides hot water with a Grant oil fired boiler for the central heating in addition to two open fires. This handsome country residence is accompanied by approximately 3 acres of ground, large agricultural barn with river frontage and fishing rights.

For those seeking ‘the good life’ there is ample curtilage in addition to the field which is amplified by its close proximity to Bodmin Moor and is accessed down a no through lane leading onto the moor. Equestrian users will be attracted by this superb outriding opportunity and when travel is needed, the property sits within a 5 minute drive of the A30. Truro, Exeter and Plymouth are all reachable within the hour which stands this apart and makes it a ‘must see’ for all buyers at this price point.
