Location Situated in Overton Villas, this quiet road is off Windmill Hill and links to Bounsalls Lane, within a very short walk of the town centre. Set amidst the rolling green Cornish countryside, Launceston is known as the gateway to the county and sits on the Devon border. The towns skyline is dominated by the ruins of a Norman castle that stands high on a hillside with dramatic views over Bodmin moor and Dartmoor. The castle was a strategically important building after the Norman Conquest and its green was used for executions until the 19th century. This property enjoys a direct view to the Castle. The town is situated between the north and south coasts, so is convenient for beaches and the Cornish countryside. The surrounding area offers leisure for all types including two golf courses and Roadford Lake Country Park where visitors can fish, sail, windsurf, cycle, row, kayak and camp. Shopping is excellent with plenty of big names alongside quirky independent shops, with a Marks and Spencer Food Hall, Tesco, Argos and Pets at Home, to name a few. The A30 will see you onto the M5 at Exeter in under 45 minutes and the A388 will get you to Plymouth in under an hour. The seaside resort of Bude is just 17 miles away.
