An elegant and quite stunning Grade II listed former vicarage with separate three bedroom coach house and annexe/studio set in beautiful landscaped gardens. Five double bedrooms, all en suite, three principal reception rooms, garden room, kitchen/breakfas
Penhallow Manor is an exquisite example of a Grade II listed former vicarage, which was built in 1842. The well proportioned and adaptable accommodation has high ceilings and large windows which give the house a feeling of space and light. In addition, there is a self contained Coach House which at present is used for holiday letting and a separate annexe/studio, which is unused, but has the potential for additional guest or studio/offices. All are set in beautiful established gardens and grounds of approximately ¾ of an acre which is approached from the drive flanked by mature shrubs,which winds up to the main house which itself is constructed of stone with painted rendered elevations under an attractive slated roof with deep overhanging eaves. The house has been sensitively restored by its present owners,with meticulous attention given to every detail throughout. The striking bathroom suites, traditional bespoke kitchen, original slate and wooden floors, fireplaces, attractive cast iron radiators, wooden panelling, shutters and sash windows with original glass are only some of the features that add to the enormous charm and character of Penhallow. The principal reception rooms all feature marble fireplaces, decorative cornices, and enjoy pleasant outlooks over the grounds and surrounding countryside. There have been religious settlements on the site since early medieval times and probably earlier as evidenced by the 6C granite cross now situated in the gardens and the 17th Century arch in the walls to the NorthWest of the Manor. Daphne du Maurier, a visitor to the house, featured it in her famous book 'Jamaica Inn' as the home of the notorious Francis Davey,Vicar of Altarnun. In all, a most elegant gentleman’s residence with a perfect balance of old and new, creating a most comfortable and charming large family home. |
