Location

The property is quietly situated at the end of a gated private road on the fringes of the town. Set amidst the rolling green Cornish countryside, Launceston is known as the gateway to the county and sits on the Devon border. The towns skyline is dominated by the ruins of a Norman castle that stands high on a hillside with dramatic views over Bodmin moor and Dartmoor. The castle was a strategically important building after the Norman Conquest and its green was used for executions until the 19th century. Launceston is situated between the north and south coasts, so is convenient for beaches and the Cornish countryside. The surrounding area offers leisure for all types; facilities include two golf courses – Trethorne and Launceston – and Roadford Lake Country Park where visitors can fish for trout, sail, windsurf, cycle, row, kayak and camp. Shopping with plenty of big names including Marks and Spencer Food Hall, Tesco, Argos, Iceland and Pets at Home, with the town centre boasting quirky independent shops. Once the ancient capital of Cornwall, Launceston is steeped in history and featured prominently in Daphne du Maurier's smuggling classic, Jamaica Inn. The inn itself sits between Launceston and Bodmin and visitors can travel back 300 years to experience something of the romance, folklore and villainy associated with this historic coaching inn and the area. Launceston has some great schools including Launceston College for children aged 11 to 18. Windmill Hill Academy and the St Stephen's Academy is a primary school with an excellent special needs centre. St Joseph's is a successful local independent school for those aged 3 to 16. Villages surrounding Launceston also have good primary schools. The A30 will see you onto the M5 at Exeter in under 45 minutes and the A388 will get you to Plymouth in under an hour.
