Race Hill, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15

We are told that this substantial, semi-detached house would have been constructed at the beginning of the 1900’s. Our vendors have lived there for over twenty years and have worked hard to keep the character of their home. They have enjoyed the far reaching views over their garden towards the countryside beyond and the convenience of the location, as it is situated a very short walk from Launceston town and the local amenities. They are ready now to move on to pastures new.

The property can be accessed on foot from the road via a flight of steps which ascend to the back door or from the rear by car via a shared unmade road. There is space to park two vehicles and a single size garage/workshop. The more attractive and characterful aspect of the Victorian house can be approached through the enclosed established terraced gardens. There is a paved patio, seating area providing a perfect vantage place to enjoy the view, a vegetable garden and greenhouse included in the sale.

On entering inside through a small porch into the hallway which enjoys attractive original floor tiles, the doors open into both the sitting room which benefits from the seasonal heat of an open fireplace and the dining room that also enjoys an attractive feature tiled fireplace. The kitchen is fitted with an array of white shaker style, painted units. The freestanding gas cooker will be included within the sale. There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. The bathroom has the luxury of a separate tiled shower unit, as well as a white bath and matching basin. The versatile study is generous in size and could also be used as a fifth double bedroom. A cloakroom/WC completes this level.

Upstairs, all four of the double bedrooms are accessed via a light and airy landing with an attractive polished wooden floor. There is also a cloakroom/WC on this floor. The whole house is heated by a mains gas boiler and the windows are double glazed.

The property is situated a short walk from the heart of Launceston Town Centre which boasts a range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities and lies adjacent to the A30 trunk road giving access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction.
