Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • A well presented Grade II Listed, detached cottage that has been well maintained and improved by the present owners.
  • Cosy sitting room with a multi fuel burner and separate dining room.
  • Enjoying a modern, well equipped kitchen, bathroom and en-suite shower room.
  • New carpets.
  • The three first floor bedrooms all enjoy countryside views.
  • Off road parking.
  • A nicely stocked and sheltered walled garden.
Situated within a quiet established location between the town centre and Newport, this one-of a-kind, historic Grade II Listed cottage has been lovingly improved and maintained by our vendors over the ten years of their ownership. They are reluctantly ready to leave their detached home. Though it is described as a cottage, the ceilings are not particularly low and some rooms enjoy multiple windows, most of which are painted hardwood sash in style so it feels quite light and bright most of the day.

A small enclosed, gated front garden allows access via a glazed rustic porch into the hallway where the original rag slate floor and polished wood staircase are still in place. The sitting room enjoys wooden shutters to the multi pained sash window and a multi fuel burner is situated within an ornate fireplace on a slate hearth. A separate dining room has a polished timber floor and a corner feature fireplace with a marble hearth. The kitchen is situated within an established extension and offers light oak units above and below a marble effect, roll top working surface. The Neff electric oven and gas hob will be included within the sale. There is plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine, along with space for a fridge/freezer. A useful cloakroom/WC with hand basin completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, bedroom one enjoys use of the en-suite shower room and dual aspect views with one window looking over the rear garden, as well as, the church tower of St. Stephens in the distance and the other looking out at the ancient Duchy grazing land and Launceston Castle.

The double front bedroom has an original fireplace with a slate surround and mantle. The third bedroom is a good size single. The modern family bathroom has a separate tiled shower cubicle and a white three piece suite. Heating and hot water for the whole house is provided by a regularly serviced, mains gas boiler that our vendors had installed about three years ago.

Outside, the private rear garden is enclosed by both timber fencing and an ancient local stone wall that offers a great deal of protection to the vast array of established plants which include many small trees and tender plants. Our vendors have had built a substantial timber sun room which they enjoy sitting in whilst observing their pretty garden. A useful stone shed/workshop is in place and parking is provided by a paved driveway that can facilitate a space for one vehicle.

Launceston Town Centre offers a wide range of recreational, shopping, educational and commercial facilities, the town itself 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. Closer to hand is the Co-operative supermarket on the Newport Industrial Estate, Greenaways Garage and the White Horse Inn Public House.
From Launceston Town Centre proceed onto the A388 (St Thomas Road). Proceed down the hill and take 1st left hand turning adjacent to the National School, proceed into Wooda Lane and continue down the hill. Wooda Cottage will be identified a short distance along on the right hand side.

    Established in 1924, Webbers estate agents are a national award-winning, independent estate agency, voted in the Top 3 estate agents in the UK for customer service in 2014. We have 16 West Country offices for residential sales & lettings in North Devon, West Somerset, Exmoor and Cornwall. Our exclusive Fine & Country marketing enables us to put our property in Park Lane, right in the heart of London, offering fabulous market exposure. In addition, with specialist departments for Commercial Property, Survey & Professional and New Homes, we deliver a comprehensive property service, with an enviable reputation as professionals in property. Launceston is the ancient capital of Cornwall. Attractions include the English Heritage Norman Castle and steam railway, narrow streets and plenty of Georgian and Victorian architecture. Excellent access can be gained to the A30 dual carriageway and both Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. The town is 17 miles from the coastal resort and rugged cliff tops of Bude. Our town square is a conservation area and has a pedestrian-friendly shopping area with cobbled streets.  The Church of St Mary Magdalene in the town centre is one of the most heavily engraved in the country. Typical out-of-town buyers come from the West Midlands and South East seeking retirement/a slower pace of life which is what our county epitomises.  We have a hard-working Launceston in Bloom committee passionate about making the town look attractive throughout all seasons and the Town Council does an excellent job of maintenance and grass cutting.  In 2011 HRH the Duchess of Cornwall opened up a new refurbished Town Hall. Average prices here for houses for sale in Launceston are £187,000 (2011 figures) and typical properties in the town include Victorian semis and modern edge-of-town developments.  We also have a growing Fine and Country department.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
