Launcells · 整套民居 · 5室6床3.5卫 · 可住10人 · Tranquil countryside retreat in large period home
Nestled in the quiet hamlet of Launcells, just three miles inland from the coastal town of Bude, Ravenscourt is a rather exceptional property. Tucked away off a quiet country road, Ravenscourt’s beauty is apparent from first glance, with its striking entrance and gravelled driveway. A grand, Grade II listed building, draped with pretty wisteria, stands tall amidst the immaculate gardens which wrap around the house.
We had the most magical week - one of those rare finds that exceeds expectations. We hope to return again for a future family holiday. The out door games provided brought lots of laughs and the house was finished to perfection. The local area has lots to explore we could have stay so much longer! No question was too much and communication was brilliant throughout. Thank you!
Decadence reigns at Ravenscourt, from the five well-appointed bedrooms on offer, to the expansive secluded grounds. As a former rectory, this property is full of quintessential country charm.
Having undergone a graceful reformation in spring 2023 using a local interior designer, Ravenscourt beautifully blends opulence and grandeur with rich textures, bold wallpapers and warm tones while celebrating the natural light that this house is blessed with, making staying here a complete pleasure.
Upon entering Ravenscourt, you’ll be drawn to the magnificent central staircase, which leads to the first floor via a half landing with picture window, but there’s splendour at every turn. The lounge, with a south-facing position at the front of the house with its large Georgian sash windows, features luxurious sinkable Loaf sofas, a cosy woodburning stove and smartTV. Step into the kitchen, which has two offshoots for places to relax or dine. The kitchen itself is well-equipped with high specification appliances such as the Miele integrated ovens and Illy coffee machine.
The garden room, which is adjacent to the kitchen, with French doors opening onto the gardens, is another highlight here. There’s a large wooden table, with 10 plush chairs to provide plenty of space to enjoy a Cornish banquet.
Tucked away at the back of the house there’s a relaxed snug, generous utility space, office room, WC, and boot and coat storage, with a stable door leading out to the rear gardens. There’s also a generously-sized bedroom on this floor, with zip ‘n’ link beds which can be arranged as a twin or king, which has the luxury of its own ensuite with double walk-in shower, plus a wall-mounted smartTV.
The majestic galleried landing on the first floor provides access to four bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The master bedroom, which is a king in size, positioned at the front of the house has its own shower room ensuite, an abundance of built-in storage and an original decorative fireplace.
There are three further bedrooms upstairs; a zip ‘n’ link twin and double, both at the front of the house, while an additional king-size bedroom is situated at the back of the house benefiting from dual aspect windows to allow for plenty of natural light.
Naturally, a house as imposing as Ravenscourt has impressive grounds to match. Just shy of acre, immaculate gardens envelop this property providing a total sense of seclusion. There are plenty of garden games to be enjoyed on the lawn, a bespoke clay pizza oven and Norfolk Grills BBQ for some alfresco dining, and outdoor furniture to allow guests to kick back and soak up the Cornish sun. There’s also a fenced relaxation area where a previous pond has been brought back to life with luscious shrubs, the original vicar’s toilet, while use is prohibited it gives a nod to what life at Ravenscourt was like all those years ago.
