Maxworthy, Launceston, Cornwall

An exceptionally versatile rural property offering a substantial main residence together with multiple ancillary dwellings, extensive outbuildings and approximately 6 acres of gardens and grounds, providing an unusual opportunity for multi-generational living, income generation, equestrian use or those simply seeking a home with considerable space and flexibility.
The Long House forms the principal residence and currently provides four-bedroom accommodation, with an adjoining two-bedroom cottage/annexe. Although presently arranged separately, the accommodation has previously formed part of the main house and offers clear scope to be reintegrated, creating a particularly generous six-bedroom family home, subject to any necessary consents and works.
Also attached to the principal property is a further one-bedroom annexe, offering additional self-contained accommodation which could suit extended family, guests or a variety of other uses.
Away from the main house is a detached two-bedroom barn conversion, providing another independent dwelling within the grounds. Importantly, the detached barn and stable block benefit from their own separate private driveway, independent from the principal access serving The Long House and the remainder of the outbuildings. This arrangement greatly enhances the flexibility of the overall holding and may appeal particularly to purchasers considering rental, holiday accommodation, equestrian or multi-generational requirements.
The property stands within approximately 6 acres, comprising extensive lawned gardens and grounds together with useful areas suitable for grazing and amenity use. Mature trees and established planting provide an attractive setting, while the scale of the grounds gives a good degree of separation between the various buildings.
A significant range of outbuildings accompanies the property, including a stable block, a substantial agricultural building and a further barn which currently requires attention but offers considerable storage and potential, subject to any necessary planning permissions. Solar panels are also positioned within the grounds.
The combination of the principal residence, three separate areas of ancillary accommodation, extensive outbuildings, land and separate access makes The Long House a particularly unusual proposition. The property would lend itself to a wide variety of lifestyles and uses, while offering significant scope for a purchaser to adapt and improve the accommodation to suit their individual requirements.
