The home, in the agent’s words
Read the full agent description
3 School Hill is situated within a tucked away position overlooking the Church and historic graveyard, close to the village hall and carpark.
This pretty cottage is central to a row of four similar homes thought to have been built during the 1800's. It has been within the ownership of the same family for nearly thirty years and now comes to the market with no onward chain.
Inside, as you step through the front door into the living room you see the exposed stone of a working inglenook fireplace with an original clome oven, along with a wood burning stove which provides the seasonal warmth and heating to the property, along with some wall hung electric heaters. Original slate floors are in place both within the living room and kitchen. The compact kitchen is fitted with a selection of pine fronted units and light coloured working surface. The electric oven, electric hob and extractor fan above, along with the fridge freezer and washing machine are included within the sale. Some of the other furniture within the cottage could be included too. A large sunroom is currently used as a dining room and leads out via French style doors to the rear garden.
Upstairs, both the bedrooms are double in size and there is a tiled shower room which benefits from the natural light of a skylight window. Most of the interior doors are made of solid wood with traditional thumb catches. Nearly all the windows are fitted with UPVC double glazing.
The rear garden is enclosed with timber fencing and is mainly laid to lawn with a small patio area and mature planting.
The village of South Petherwin is situated two miles South of Launceston and boasts a range of village amenities including a County Primary School, Parish Church, Methodist Chapel and a Public House. A mobile Post Office visits the village weekly. The ancient former market town of Launceston boasts a range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities and 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.
