This Victorian home demands to be the setting for a grand get-together. Nestled in the two acres of private gardens are a swimming pool, tennis court, cricket lawn, and an outdoor dining gazebo, complete with a wood-fired pizza oven. And the famously capricious British weather needn't halt the festivities – retreat inside this historic home for a game of snooker or ping-pong, followed by an evening of dancing in the disco room. The annexed suite is perfect for those seeking private space, while the interconnected bedrooms are ideal for families. A ten-minute walk brings you to the harbour in Megavissey, the starting point for stunning Cornish coastal walks, and St Austell is just a fifteen-minute drive away.
