Beautiful Cornish views the selling point for one weekend home buyer

Dad-of-three John O’Mahoney was looking for a Cornish home where he could spend relaxing weekends when he discovered Stourscombe Vale, a development surrounded by rolling countryside.

The 54-year-old, who works in financial services, said: “The location really sold the house to me. The property looks out towards Dartmoor and there’s nothing nicer on a Sunday morning than sitting in the dining room with the patio doors open and a bacon sandwich and admiring the view.”

John, who lives in Milton Keynes during the week, opted for a three-bedroom semi-detached ‘Haywood’ style home, so he could have his sons and family to stay.

He said: “The layout is very spacious and a new build property is ideal because I don’t have to do anything to it. There’s no redecorating to do, it’s low maintenance and even the garden has been landscaped with decking.
“It’s a very tranquil place for me to spend a weekend and Launceston is a great little town with lots of local shops selling local produce.”

Hannah Newnes area sales manager for Redrow Homes South West, said:
“Stourscombe is right in the middle of the Cornish countryside and the views are simply breathtaking. And unlike some of the over-heated Cornwall destinations, this peaceful atmosphere fortunately doesn’t come with a price. It’s situated just outside the old historic town of Launceston, which has a good selection of shops, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants.

“There is variety of excellent schools in the area and amenities such as doctors, dentists and a library nearby, with a retail park on the edge of the town.

“You can enjoy Stourscombe’s country walks and varied leisure activities, and also it’s a mere 30 minutes drive to Cornwall’s beautiful unspoiled beaches.”

Whether it’s a holiday home or a permanent base you’re after, Stourscombe Vale currently has are two, three and four-bedroom terraced, semi and detached homes, with prices from £175,995 to £264,000.
