4 bedroom detached house for sale

This impressive property is situated on the B3362, just a short car ride from the town of Launceston and the useful A30 dual carriageway. The home has been within the ownership of the same family for many years. We have been told that in its early life, approximately one hundred years ago it was a public house, hence its name, Bennetts Arms. It is now a very comfortable and welcoming home which flows nicely over four levels via two short staircases forming its spine. There is small cellar which could be used to store wine.

The property is now approached by a short lane which allows access to a large tarmac parking area. It can easily accommodate a large van or caravan, as well as further vehicles. There is also a purpose built carport which is designed for two large cars to be kept under cover. A timber pedestrian gate within matching fence provides access to the large level garden which is mainly laid to lawn with areas of mature planting. There are an array of garden sheds and a covered hot tub (not used in recent years) included within the sale. A few paved patio areas have been strategically placed to enjoy this sheltered sun trap of a garden.

On entering the house from a double glazed porch into an open plan hallway where you can directly descend a few steps into a sitting room which enjoys the seasonal heat from a wood burning stove, set within a charming fireplace on a slate hearth. This room then leads into a light and airy utility room with plenty of storage and an external door to the garden. The washing machine and tumble dryer will also be included within the sale. The lounge is off the entrance hall and offers patio doors also opening onto the garden. The formal dining room and kitchen are found down a short flight of stairs at the back of the building. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with light coloured units that house a fridge and a freezer. There is a hot water Quooker mixer tap in the sink which is set in a dark coloured work top. A large Rangemaster cooker will also be included.

Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms are double in size and one enjoys exclusive use of a modern tiled shower room. The family bathroom is also tiled with a ‘P’ shaped bath and sink with a vanity cabinet below.

The whole house benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating and an internal viewing highly recommended.

Launceston Town is located approximately 2 miles away and boasts a range of shopping, recreational, educational and commercial facilities and lies adjacent to the A30 trunk road giving access to Exeter in one direction and Truro and West Cornwall in the other. The property is about a 5 minute drive from the town, so there is very easy access to Tesco's, medical centre and hospital and the primary and secondary schools of the town to include the excellent rated St Joseph’s private day-school for girls and boys from 4 to 16 years.

The West Devon Stannary Town of Tavistock is approximately 10 miles distant with similar levels of amenities having the beauty and rugged landscape of Dartmoor National Park close to hand.

Both cities have excellent transport links to other areas of the country.

Closer to hand, located within a few miles are the Villages of Milton Abbott and Lawhitton which collectively have parish churches. There is also a Primary School at Milton Abbott and a mobile Post Office service which visits Lawhitton.
