Description

This Grade II listed farmhouse and associated buildings occupy a rural position on the southern edge of Launceston, with town amenities within walking distance. The property is set along a private, tree-lined drive and includes approximately 6.75 acres, with additional farmland available by separate negotiation. The farmhouse has around 3,825 sq ft of accommodation, arranged as six or seven bedrooms, two reception rooms, a large kitchen, utility and pantry areas, and a cellar. It was previously used as a bed and breakfast. A separate three-bedroom cottage is also included and is described as requiring renovation, offering scope for independent accommodation, subject to the necessary consents and requirements. The courtyard is surrounded by a varied collection of traditional stone buildings and modern agricultural structures, including a listed threshing barn, listed former pigsties, a cider barn and stables, alongside portal-framed buildings. Their future use would depend on condition, practical requirements and any relevant consents. A 2.30-acre historic orchard lies behind the farmhouse and is described as needing reinvigoration. The farmhouse, cottage and buildings form a substantial multi-part property with potential for different residential, agricultural or leisure uses, subject to verification, including the implications of listed status. Launceston offers shops, schools, leisure facilities and other everyday services, while the nearby A30 connects the area with Cornwall and Devon. The property is offered for sale by private treaty with vacant possession on completion.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £975,000, Hurdon Farm is priced attractively against the local benchmark: about £192/sq ft versus £271, giving a substantial below-average entry point for a 5,079 sq ft holding. The Grade II farmhouse, separate three-bedroom cottage, 6.75 acres, orchard and range of farm buildings make this a distinctive project with scope to refresh the interiors and refurbish the cottage while retaining the property’s historic character.

The farmhouse appears usable and generally maintained outside, with dated finishes and older kitchen fittings ready for improvement. The cottage needs a more substantial refurbishment, and its ceiling deterioration, along with weathered coverings on some farm buildings, warrants closer inspection. The established gardens and walled garden are appealing; the orchard is identified as needing reinvigoration.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the farmhouse’s dated wallpaper, carpets, decorative finishes and older kitchen fittings while preserving its historic character.
  • Refurbish the separate cottage to support multigenerational living, staff accommodation or potential holiday-let use.
  • Make the most of the 6.75-acre setting, walled garden and established grounds, including reinvigorating the orchard.

Key risks

  • The cottage has visibly worn finishes and ceiling deterioration; establish the extent of repairs required.
  • Some agricultural buildings have weathered or rusted roof coverings, and their detailed condition is not established.
