“Mulberry House combines feelings of light, airy and spacious with welcoming, warm and cosy. That sense of inside space extends to the outside with a choice of balcony, terrace and lawn to relax on. Local errands can be run on foot with easy access to the town square and nearby retail park. The proximity to the A30 helps our longer journeys get underway quickly.”

Launceston, the Ancient Capital of and acknowledged gateway to Cornwall sits astride the A30 one mile from the Devon/ Cornwall border, in an area of considerable beauty and charm with easy access to both North and South Coasts as well as to the cities of Exeter, Plymouth and Truro.

Dating back to Celtic times the whole of Launceston is steeped in history and is dominated by its Castle built by Brian de Bretagne the first Norman Earl of Cornwall in the 11th Century. Once the site of the Royal Mint and the only walled town in Cornwall the Launceston of today has much to offer and to reward both business and leisure interests.

There is a town trail for visitors to follow which highlights the ancient architecture and historical features including the 16th Century Church of St. Mary Magdalene which has one of the most lavishly carved exteriors of any Church in England. There are three other churches as well as a Methodist Chapel and Kingdom Hall, three Primary Schools, one private school and Launceston College, so both spiritual and secular needs are well served. The town has a range of shopping, commercial and leisure facilities, with supermarkets, its retail park and leisure centre. Nearer to the property is the challenging 18 hole golf course and many delightful walks along the Kensey Valley.
From Launceston Town centre proceed into Dunheved Road heading towards Launceston College. Continue passing the first long row of Victorian terraced homes on the right hand side. Carry on for a little further and take the private lane on the right (just before the row of modern apartments) and continue down the private road keeping left. The entrance gate for Mulberry House will be identified at the end straight in front.
