Property description

A most attractive Grade II Listed former rectory, set in beautiful gardens enjoying wonderful rural views.

<b>Description</b><br/><br/>Dating from the late 1700’s, Ravenscourt is a fine and rare example of a perfect Georgian, former rectory, distinguished by its south facing wisteria clad façade, sash windows and many original features throughout. The accommodation, which extends to about (3387 sq ft) is arranged over three floors providing plenty of room for entertaining and a large family.

Upon entering the reception hall, your eye will be drawn to the spectacular central staircase, which leads to the first floor via a half landing with picture window, bathing the area in plenty of natural light. From the reception hall, doors open to a spacious south facing drawing room with fireplace, a study, and the magnificent kitchen/living and dining room, which leads on to the garden room, with French doors opening onto the gardens.

A hallway at the back of the building, with door to the rear garden, provides access to a substantial utility/laundry room, a useful boot/hobbies room and separate cloakroom. From here, there is also access to the ground floor bedroom and en suite shower room.

A spacious galleried landing on the first floor provides access to four double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with en suite shower room, and a family bathroom. There is a further bedroom on the second floor, which provides access to ample storage areas in the attic space.

The property is approached via a quiet country lane, which leads to Ravenscourt’s imposing entrance and gravelled driveway, which provides plenty of parking space, both in front of and to the side of the house. The immaculate gardens, which extend to just shy of an acre wrap around the house to the south and west, providing large areas of lawns, terraces and borders, a pond and a variety of mature trees and shrubs, including a magnificent copper beach. Mature hedges to the south and west provide plenty of privacy and seclusion to compliment the property’s fabulous setting.

There is a stone outbuilding within the gardens and an integral garden store to the side of the house.<br/><br/><b>Location</b><br/><br/>The hamlet of Launcells is set about 1.5 miles to the east of Stratton, close to the Cornwall Devon Border and about three miles inland from the coastal town of Bude.
