Adjacent is a boiler room and a utility room. The main light and airy front kitchen is dual aspect and has a mains gas-fired four-oven Aga.
The guest wing is located on the ground floor and is a good size. It comprises of a lounge/dining room which is affectionately known as the “hook room” due to the meat hooks that hang from the ceiling, double bedroom, kitchen and bathroom/WC. It could be easily integrated back into the main house and has access to a delightful sheltered and well enclosed courtyard and cider press.
On the first floor are five bedrooms and a large office/bedroom six which would suit those who work from home. Bedrooms one and two have en suite shower rooms and like all of the remaining bedrooms having built in wardrobes or cupboards. Each of these rooms are large enough to accommodate double beds and have high ceilings with plenty of character. The family bathroom/WC has a matching four-piece suite including a free standing bath and a separate shower cubicle.
Access can be gained to the two large attic rooms via a staircase from the landing. These rooms are suitable for those with hobbies and further storage space is very useful. The cellar has further storage space and a wine cellar with slate shelving.
At the rear is a cobbled courtyard accessed by imposing double gates to the road, in which is the coach house providing a spacious workshop or covered storage for a vehicle.
The gardens are most attractive and are positioned to the front of the property around a fully circular driveway, south facing with the finest views. An attractive original slate-topped stone wall separates the property from the road, giving it added charm and seclusion. Within the circle are many established trees and shrubs and a lawned area, while the outer circle boasts pretty flower beds and a raised area laid to lawn. There is parking space for multiple vehicles. A few steps lead up to the terrace at the side of the property, a delightful space which is fully enclosed and private, and proudly features an original granite cider press.
The following is a quotation from the home owners:
“Living here is a privilege that grows on you when you think back to the people who've gone before, their lives, how they dressed, the current events they talked about. We've loved discovering the house's little secrets over time. It's a lovely spacious, sunny house that feels very private with a strong sense of peace. For us it’s been the perfect location for getting to beaches, all around Cornwall or back to Exeter and beyond.”
The ancient town of Launceston is regarded as the 'Gateway to Cornwall' has a range of educational, recreational, commercial and leisure facilities, as well as a Norman castle and attractive town centre. For further communications the Cathedral City of Exeter is approximately 42 miles distance, and has a more extensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, as well as access to the M5 motorway, mainland rail network to London (Paddington) and further north. Exeter is served by an excellent regional international airport. The continental ferry port and city of Plymouth is approximately 25 miles from the property and again offers extensive facilities as well as regular cross channel ferry services to France and Spain.
From Launceston town, proceed down St Thomas Road to the roundabout at Newport. At the roundabout take the second exit and proceed up St Stephens Hill towards St Stephens. Continue passing St Joseph’s School on the left and the entrance to Mayne Close on the left. After a short distance you will see the slated name of St. Stephens House on the right hand side. Turn right here and the driveway will be found immediately on the left hand side.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
