Badgall, Launceston, Cornwall

Believed to have originally served as a farmhouse cottage for the historic Tregeare Estate, this charming semi-detached stone cottage dates back to circa 1825 and offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a home rich in character and heritage.

Having undergone considerable improvement and sympathetic enhancement in recent years, the property now provides beautifully presented and versatile accommodation, successfully combining a wealth of original period features with modern-day comforts. Occupying a peaceful rural hamlet setting, the cottage enjoys breathtaking far-reaching views across the surrounding valley, together with attractively landscaped gardens and ample off-road parking.

The accommodation is approached via an entrance hall leading into a particularly characterful living room, featuring attractive flagstone flooring and an impressive brick inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. An inner hallway, thought to have formed part of the original kitchen, provides a further charming feature, a beautiful brick inglenook fireplace incorporates an original clome oven.

The kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, offering a light and airy space fitted with an attractive range of units, solid wood work surfaces and a selection of built-in appliances. There is ample room for a family dining table, whilst large French-glazed windows to the rear perfectly frame the breathtaking countryside views. Twin skylights further enhance the sense of space and natural light. A useful adjoining utility room and boot room provides additional storage and appliance space.

The ground floor further benefits from a spacious double bedroom, with a conveniently positioned Jack and Jill bathroom, accessed from both the entrance hall and bedroom.

Stairs rise to the first floor where there are three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant aspects, with the rear-facing bedroom benefiting from particularly impressive far-reaching countryside views. Completing the accommodation is a beautifully presented family bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle and contemporary sanitaryware, again enjoying a wonderful outlook across the valley.

Outside, the property is approached via a driveway providing ample off-road parking. A pedestrian gate leads to the attractively landscaped rear gardens, which enjoy an enviable outlook across the surrounding countryside. The gardens are principally laid to lawn, complemented by a generous paved patio providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Attractive Cornish stone walling and established boundary fencing create a lovely degree of privacy, making this a particularly appealing outdoor space in which to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
