Additional Details:
The property exudes a wealth of charm and sense of history. It is not sure when work began on the property but it was completed by 1411. The original tower for the chapel still remains and the gate house, now the lounge, was joined to the chapel by cloisters and had a nave running towards the back of the present building which is indicative by the shape of the roof still being seen on the front of the tower. Building continued on the property until 1430 when the front span was completed and was the only local building not to escape the dissolution of the monasteries as it was seized by the crown and sold to a merchant in 1549. The property was fully restored in the 1980s to become a country house offering guest accommodation as it is found today. The property is set at the half way point of the saints way, a medieval route taken by pilgrims on their way from ireland to france which crosses from padstow on the north cornwall coast to fowey on the south coast. The property is approached over the drive and then onto the bridge over a stream then leading into the main and large car park surrounded by various mature shrubs and trees including geraniums, various conifers and some bamboo. The presence of bamboo dates back many decades when the area was known as being a provider of bamboos to london zoo to feed the pandas, hence the sign at the local pub. Clumps of bamboo remain in the gardens and woodland behind. The rear garden to the higher side of the property is accessed through a gate where will be found the original tower, now without its internal floors but having an old stone staircase in 1 corner. To the front of this is an old well and various mature trees and shrubs and with further footpaths leading to further large garden areas on the village side of the property with a small range of garden buildings. The bedrooms offer state of the art comforts and the guest bedrooms are provided with en-suite facilities, colour televisions and central heating. Location
