Detached house for sale in Slipperhill, Launceston PL15

This quintessential cottage is available on the open market for the first time in 56 years and has been exceptionally well maintained by the current owners. They have raised their family here, enjoying the swimming pool, a particular delight for the children. Additionally, the detached 1-bedroom annexe is currently let under an assured shorthold tenancy, offering the successful buyer a regular income, dual-family living options, or a lucrative holiday let opportunity, as the annexe is by the pool. There's also potential to convert the garage/workshop into a further letting unit, subject to any necessary planning consents.

Description

The vendors inform us that the original cottage dates back 250 years. It is bursting with character and charm, featuring exposed stonework, beams, an inglenook fireplace with clome oven, timber latch doors, exposed 'A' frames, and oak accents, along with quality carpets and floor coverings. The accommodation includes a front entrance hall, home office/study, impressive living/dining room with fireplace, spacious farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room, rear utility room, and ground floor shower room. From the living/dining room, you can access the stunning conservatory. The first-floor landing leads to four double bedrooms, two with en suite facilities, and a family bathroom. All bedrooms enjoy countryside views.

Outside, the property is accessed via its own private drive leading to the parking area, a triple bay carport, and a large garage/workshop with the 1-bedroom annexe above. The enclosed swimming pool area includes a changing room, shower room, storage, and pump/boiler room. The gardens are a gardener's heaven, well-stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and plants, extensive patio areas, a fish pond, a greenhouse, and a potting area.

The house benefits from lpg gas-fired central heating via a combination boiler and wood-effect UPVC double glazing throughout. The annexe is served by lpg bottled gas heating.
