Boyton, Launceston, Cornwall

An exceptional opportunity to acquire this charming and extensively improved detached 3 double bedroom character cottage, occupying a peaceful and tucked away position within a small rural hamlet, surrounded by open countryside and set within approximately 1.3 acres of gardens and grounds.

The property has been significantly enhanced by the current owner, including a new roof and a comprehensive programme of internal modernisation, whilst carefully retaining much of the original character.

The accommodation is both versatile and well balanced, offering a welcoming entrance via a porch into a characterful sitting room centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove.

A separate study offers flexibility for those working from home, whilst the useful utility room and cloakroom enhance the practicality of the layout.

To the first floor are three well proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks across the surrounding grounds, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a dressing area and ensuite facilities. A spacious family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

The former lean-to extension has been removed, with planning now granted to extend or reconfigure further, subject to any necessary planning consents.

The property benefits from solar thermal panels, private water and drainage, and a combination of a new central heating system installed in 2025 oil fired heating, and wood burner.
