Lezant cottage near Launceston with countryside views at auction

It needs work, and plenty of it. But step out of the back of this cottage on the edge of a village near Launceston and there is open countryside right behind it.

The three-bedroom detached house at Penscombe Cross, Lezant, is going under the hammer with a freehold guide price of £165,000 plus. It is Lot 52 in the November online auction run by Clive Emson Auctioneers, which concludes on Thursday 5 November.

It is one of 14 Cornish lots in the sale. You can see every one, with guide prices and photos, in our full round-up of Cornwall’s November auction lots.

A project with potential

Auction appraiser James Lofthouse said: “This is a house with plenty of potential.

“While in need of improvement and renovation, it benefits from off-road parking and numerous outbuildings and is located in a peaceful edge-of-village setting where it adjoins open countryside with great views.”

How it is being sold

The property is being auctioned in arrangement with View Property. It is one of 169 lots listed across England for the sale.

It is also one of two Cornish lots on the same release. The other, Highfield Park play area at Latchbrook in Saltash, has a freehold guide of £250 plus.
