Offered with vacant possession is this 3 Bedroom detached residence with great
scope for modernisation and potential to extend subject to any relevant
planning permissions. Located at the end of a private no through lane in the
sought after area of st. Stephens.
Situated in arguably one of Launceston's most sought after areas at the end of
this private residential no through lane where its rare for properties to come
to market. Millerson are pleased to offer this older style home which has been
in the same family for many years and will allow the discerning buyer to
definitely add their own personal touches. Externally, the property has been
well maintained, but internally the accommodation needs updating and in brief
offers an Entrance Porch, Entrance Hallway, triple aspect Sitting/Dining Room,
Kitchen with Pantry and a spacious downstairs Wet Room providing disability
facilities that could be easily revamped to create a luxury Bath/Shower Room.
Upstairs are two good size Double Bedrooms and a Single Bedroom, with the
front Bedroom enjoying partial views of the Castle, Town and Countryside.
Modern double glazing throughout and mains gas central heating being served by
a modern 'Worcester' combination boiler. We believe the size of the plot will
offer space to extend to the side and the rear of the property and maybe
options to incorporate the Garage and Outhouse into the main accommodation,
which of course would be subject to any necessary planning consents. There is
a driveway with ground to the side, which could be excavated to create more
parking if required. In all, a must be viewed property to fully appreciate
what this home could offer and those wanting to have a feeling of countryside
living, space and within close proximity of the town and its extensive range
of amenities.
