Truscott, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15

It is said that Higher Truscott Farmhouse was built as far back at the 1800’s. It is centrally located within the semi-rural hamlet of Truscott, some three miles from the ancient Cornish market town of Launceston. Launceston Golf Club is close by as is the Kensey Valley bowling green. Our vendors have made it their home since 2017 and put their own mark on this characterful detached house. In recent times they have replaced the roof and looked after the general maintenance and have made clever use of paint colours throughout the interesting home. Internally, there are slate floors, beams to the ceilings and an inglenook fireplace. There are also plenty of home comforts including oil fired central heating powered by a Heritage Range which is also used to cook on. The windows have had UPVC double glazing installed, many are fitted with internal shutters and a light and airy conservatory is also in place.

The main external door opens from the front into the kitchen which enjoys fitted cream coloured units with a solid wood work top above. The range cooker/boiler has been fitted into the fireplace with a tiled splash back. There is plumbing for a dishwasher and space for an upright fridge freezer. Traditionally a farmhouse kitchen allows space for dining furniture, this kitchen does not disappoint. More formal entertaining can take place in the dining space within the lounge. A wood burning stove is set into the inglenook fireplace and provides a focal point to this stylish room. The light and airy conservatory in turn allows access to the garden. The rustic utility room and shower room complete the ground floor.

An ascending bespoke staircase from the kitchen allows access to the first floor which enjoys four delightful bedrooms. Our vendors use one for a snug which also enjoys a small wood burning stove set onto a slate hearth. Another room is set up as their music room and has storage within the roof space. The main, largest bedroom enjoys an original feature fireplace and a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. The guest room enjoys a skylight window and another feature fireplace.

Outside, there is parking for a large car off the road, as well as a smaller vehicle on the hard standing at the front. The enclosed well stocked back garden is easy to maintain as it mainly gravelled. There is an attractive covered paved patio area and a painted timber sunroom and log store.

This property would suit buyers looking for a rustic country property that is also convenient for the town and facilities.
