Why move to Launceston? Set amidst the rolling green Cornish countryside, Launceston is known as the gateway to the county and sits on the Devon border. The town’s skyline is dominated by the ruins of a Norman castle that stands high on a hillside with dramatic views over Bodmin moor and Dartmoor. The castle was a strategically important building after the Norman Conquest and its green was used for executions until the 19th century. Launceston is situated between the north and south coasts, so is convenient for beaches and the Cornish countryside. The surrounding area offers leisure for all types; facilities include two golf courses – Trethorne and Launceston – and Roadford Lake Country Park where visitors can fish for trout, sail, windsurf, cycle, row, kayak and camp. Launceston has a busy pedestrianised shopping centre with plenty of big names alongside quirky independent shops. Out of town there is a big Tesco, Marks & Spencer Food Hall, Argos and Pets at Home. There are plenty of places to eat out in Launceston, including the award-wining Launceston Fryer, the Countryman Inn at Langdon Cross, the Eliot Arms at Tredadillett and the Arundell Arms Hotel at Lifton, where there are also shooting and fishing rights. A town with literary connections… Once the ancient capital of Cornwall, Launceston is steeped in history and featured prominently in Daphne du Maurier’s smuggling classic, Jamaica Inn. The inn itself sits between Launceston and Bodmin and visitors can travel back 300 years to experience something of the romance, folklore and villainy associated with this historic coaching inn and the area. Great local schools Launceston has some great schools including the ‘good’ Ofsted-rated Launceston College for children aged 11 to 18. Windmill Hill Academy is a ‘good’ primary school and the ‘outstanding’ St Stephen’s Academy is a primary school with an excellent special needs centre.

Meet the team

Lindsey Martin
Lettings Negotiator
Millerson gave me the opportunity to join the company in 2007 and I welcomed this with open arms as I have always had an interest in property. As a family run firm with an exceptional reputation I have been given great training and support in my time with the company and this certainly gives me the confidence to be assured that all our clients are very professionally looked after. I am very fortunate to have lived in the area all my life so I have extensive local knowledge and contacts and being part of such a dedicated and committed team means that I relish the variety and challenges of the role. When not at work I enjoy being a busy mum to my son, spa weekends and catching up with friends over lunch combined with some shopping !
Sue Creber
Lettings Manager
Before settling on my lettings career I held various positions including working in Government and recruitment. The opportunity to join the family firm of Millerson was readily accepted by me as I was very keen to join a progressive and forward thinking company that put its people and customers first. Combining decades of tradition and reputation with cutting edge technology, training and marketing I am confident that the proposition and service I am able to offers customers is second to none. I have lived in Launceston all my life and now my children have left home I have more time to myself. I have started to undertake and enjoy exercise classes and most people who know me will find this hard to believe !
Lesley Lamley
Assistant Sales Manager
I am relishing my role as Assistant Manager having had over 30 years experience across many different aspects of the property industry. I first worked for the Miller family in 1990. With my extensive knowledge of the area and current market conditions I am able to offer expertise in all property fields and pride myself on outstanding customer service. I live locally to Launceston and enjoy retail therapy with my daughter and walking my dogs with my husband.
Deborah Gray
Lettings Negotiator
I have enjoyed a long and varied career in numerous industries in an administrative capacity and particularly enjoy the challenge that the housing market affords ! Different people, properties and challenges are faced every day but being part of such a committed team makes it all worthwhile with the satisfaction we all enjoy from a job well done. I was born in High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire where I spent most of my early life and was educated there. In 2015 I moved down to Launceston from Oxfordshire and started my career at Millerson shortly after arriving here. With a number of interests away from the branch I keep myself fully occupied. I like walking, reading and patchwork and now I am close to the sea, bodyboarding !
Ellie Martin
Sales Negotiator
I started with Millerson in April 2018 and am relishing the opportunity to develop my career in the property industry. Growing up in North Cornwall has given me an extensive knowledge of the local areas and communities and my 4 years' experience as a lifeguard on our local beaches has taught me the importance of outstanding customer service. My sales career started in telesales and my love for this kind of work has grown from there. I am enjoying building on these skills with the help of the team at Millerson Launceston.
Nic Scorrer
Senior Manager
My wife and I moved to Devon in 2003 for a lifestyle change and I accidentally ended up being an estate agent, after working in the manufacturing sector for over 20 years back in my homeland of South Wales. The company who gave me this unexpected opportunity was The Millerson Family. I started my estate agency career as a junior negotiator in the Launceston office progressing to a managerial role, in Okehampton and Falmouth, working for them for approximately 12 years. I then had a 16 month sabbatical from the industry, until I was kindly asked to manage and oversee their Launceston and Liskeard branches. Another great opportunity for me to be an integral part of this third generation family business again, who offer true family values and passion to all their clients which is something many others do not. If I get any spare time, my passion outside of work is golf and I am a member of Launceston Golf Club. Love walking and exploring the Cornish coastlines and touring throughout Devon and Cornwall.
Hollie Woodhouse
Lettings Negotiator
I joined Millerson in 2018 after relocating to Cornwall from Oxfordshire. I work part time in the Launceston office which I really enjoy as I have a real interest in property and people. I have several years of experience working within the customer service sector which included both the hospitality industry and housing sector. In my spare time I am a busy mum to two young children, I enjoying spending time with my family and friends, exploring parts of Cornwall and the rest of the world!
Sheila Martin
Lettings Negotiator
I have welcomed this opportunity to work with amazing colleagues who have extensive local knowledge and an in-depth understanding of the Lettings Industry which they are keen to share. I have always had a passion for the Property market and I’m looking forward to learning so much more. My background has been in the Travel and Leisure Industry and I feel my skills transfer well and thank all at Millerson for giving me this opportunity.
