A beautiful period property in South East Cornwall
Offered to the market for the first time in forty years, this is a substantial Victorian residence that masterfully balances historical character with modern potential.
Established in the mid-19th century and set within more than two acres of private grounds, this home offers a rare combination of architectural integrity and expansive, multi-functional space.
A rare sense of space and possibility
The Main Residence
With an internal footprint of approximately 4,296 sq. ft. (approx 400 sq. m), the house is defined by its generous proportions and high ceilings. The main living areas are anchored by authentic period details, including wooden shutters, original slate flooring, and striking fireplaces.
The ground floor layout is designed for both family life and professional focus:
The Lounge: Measuring over 20 feet (6m) in length, this primary social space is filled with natural light and overlooks the gardens.
The Kitchen and Dining Rooms: Positioned to enjoy views of the grounds, these rooms serve as the heart of the home.
Versatile Work Space: A ground-floor room currently serves as a dedicated work space, providing a quiet, professional environment removed from the main flow of the house.
Future Potential: The first floor currently hosts three large bedrooms, while the "cut roof" loft—partially floored—offers a straightforward path for conversion into additional bedroom suites or a creative studio.
A sanctuary
Originally built around 1865 as a retreat for retired members of the clergy, the house still retains a deep sense of peace and tranquility, and reminders of its one-and-a-half centuries of history are all around if you know where to look.
An exceptional home, full of potential
A refined retreat with room for every passion
Combining a substantial family residence with an extraordinary range of outbuildings, this beautiful home offers the rare luxury of genuine volume. With 4,296 sq. ft. (approx 400 sq. m) of living space and three distinct reception rooms, there is ample space for a family to relax and enjoy time together.
Whether you are seeking a quiet study for remote work, separate lounges for the children, or a high-capacity garage for a private collection, this estate provides the infrastructure for a truly bespoke lifestyle.

The house is a residence of significant standing, offering the space to work, the facilities to pursue hobbies, and the privacy to enjoy a tranquil pace of life.
The grounds provide a private buffer from the outside world. Beyond the formal gardens, the two-acre plot includes a paddock, a small wood, and many fruit trees. It is a "proper" garden in every sense—large enough for everyone to have their own space, yet manageable enough to remain a place of relaxation rather than a chore.
Perhaps the most unique feature is its extensive range of outbuildings. Whether you're looking for storage for a car collection, a proper workshop, or flexible space for any number of roles, the potential here is transformative.
