Beat the holiday blues with a new home in a Cornish location

Homebuyers can beat their holiday blues and live in a dream location all year round in the heart of the beautiful Cornish countryside. Redrow’s stylish Stourscombe Vale venture on the edge of the traditional market town of Launceston offers house hunters the chance to live everyday like a holiday in a picturesque and tranquil location, steeped in rich local history.

Andrea Nippe, area sales manager for Redrow Homes (South West) said: “With many buyers being priced out of the market in the coastal resorts, inland towns like Launceston can present a more affordable option while still providing stunning surroundings.

“The range of properties at Stourscombe Vale holds appeal for a variety of home buyers. Launceston is the gateway to Cornwall, perfect for downsizers or empty-nesters who want to enjoy a low-maintenance new-build home.”

Stourscombe Vale is located on the outskirts of the picturesque market town of Launceston, Cornwall and has a wide range of amenities close at hand – from a well-equipped sports centre, shops and pubs to the beautiful Cornish countryside that is home to the Tamar Valley Discovery Trail and the Two Castles Trail for nature and sports enthusiasts.

Historically known as the ‘ancient capital of Cornwall’ it provides the perfect balance of traditional Cornish life with the needs and wants of 21st Century living.

As well as providing easy-living in a great location, Redrow has teamed up with a local estate agent to make moving as painless as possible with their Mastermove service.

Reputable local estate agent Miller & Son, of Launceston, are offering Redrow’s Mastermove service to people buying at their Stourscombe Vale venture.

Mastermove allows customers to ‘hold’ a Redrow home for up to four weeks whilst a carefully chosen local estate agent manages the sale of their existing property, leaving them free to concentrate on moving. When the purchase is complete, Redrow not only refunds the £50 Mastermove fee, but will also pay up to £2,000 of the agent’s fees.

Sharon Bratchley, office manager at Miller & Son, believes Mastermove is a stress-free and efficient way for people to sell their existing property.

She said: “Miller & Son are delighted to be associated with Redrow and their Mastermove Scheme. Miller & Son combine selling and buying your home to offer you a hassle free experience, as we do everything for you. All you have to do is move in and live your dream.

“Here in Launceston, with its beautiful countryside, it's the best of both worlds, as you can live with Dartmoor to one horizon and Bodmin Moor to the other. Launceston is ideally located for the coastal routes, just 30 minutes drive away, or you can explore with easy access the rest of Cornwall and its scenic coastline.

“Launceston is a traditional market town with its Castle dominating the centre which offers a selection of shopping and recreational facilities.”

Sharon, who has more than 12 years experience selling home across Devon and Cornwall, and her friendly team are on hand daily at their office on High Street, Launceston, to offer home hunters advice about using the Mastermove service.

She added: “Several properties have been sold through Mastermove and we have many happy clients now enjoying their new home.”

Homes currently on offer include a two-bedroom Allen-style semi-detached home from £137,750 for a three-bedroom terraced home £194,995 and a four-bedroom semi-detached Ouse home from £226,995.

The four-bedroom Ribble show home benefits from a contemporary design and uses lots of impacting red colours. This stylish property boasts separate kitchen and dining areas on the ground floor as well as a large lounge ideal for entertaining friends or simply as a place to relax for all the family. Ribble properties at Stourscombe Vale start from £225,995 and are available with carpets and landscaped or turfed rear gardens. A £500 pcm mortgage subsidy for two years is also available on selected plots.

Andrea added: “With a newly built home, buyers can be sure that they are moving into a property that is just for them. All of the properties at Stourscombe Vale feature contemporary designs with the best specification kitchens and bathrooms, allowing buyers the satisfaction of moving into a home built to the highest-quality and making it simple for them.”
