Property description

Rainbows End is a charming two bedroom cottage situated in one of the most picturesque settings within the town with views over the River Kensey, the Grade I Listed Pack Horse Bridge, St Thomas Church and Town Castle. The property itself has been sympathetically converted with light and airy open plan living accommodation, two double bedrooms, laundry room and well appointed kitchen.

Westbridge Road is a quiet no-through road astride the picturesque River Kensey. Within level walking distance is a food supermarket, popular public house, convenience store, bowling club, church and the pretty Riverside area with St Thomas Pack Horse Bridge. The full social, commercial and shopping facilities of Launceston town centre are approximately half a mile.

Launceston, astride the A30 dual carriageway has a better balance of travel distance to all parts of the two counties than any other centre. East of Launceston Exeter (some 42 miles) provides intercity rail link, international airport and M5 motorway link. To the south of Launceston Plymouth (28 miles) provides continental ferry port and intercity rail link. 

In all directions from Launceston there is unspoilt countryside of outstanding natural beauty.  To the north the rugged North Cornish coast famed for popular family surfing beaches.  To the west the open spaces of Bodmin Moor ideal for walking and riding.  To the east is Dartmoor National Park and to the south the hidden treasures of the Tamar Valley steeped in 17th / 18th century mining history.
