Welcome to Stately Homes

One of the most fascinating late 19th-century houses in England, full of period atmosphere and the trappings of a high Victorian country house. Although the gatehouse and north wing (with magnificent 32m-long gallery with plaster ceiling) survive from the 17th century, the rest of the house was rebuilt following a disastrous fire in 1881 with the latest in contemporary living, including central heating.

The garden features a stunning collection of magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias, and offers fine colours right through into autumn. All this is set in a glorious estate of 364ha (900 acres) of woods and parkland running down to the Fowey River. There is an extensive network of footpaths.

Note: 50 rooms are open to visitors, who should allow at least 1½ hours to tour the house. The car park is 600m from the house. Secure locker system for large bags.
