Step through the gates of time and into a world where centuries of history whisper from every beam, brick, and stone. This extraordinary Grade II listed residence, dating back to the 13th century, is not just a home—it is a living legacy Originally part of the distinguished Rosewarne Estate, and the oldest surviving home in Camborne, this spellbinding property is the embodiment of historical grandeur, elegance, and mystique.

From the moment you cross the threshold into the grand entrance hallway, you’re transported into a bygone era. The awe-inspiring Tudor Hall stands as the heart of the home—complete with an immense working fireplace and an atmospheric Minstrel’s Gallery overhead. Imagine the candlelit evenings, the music, the tales told over roaring fires. This is more than a house. It is a stage upon which history has played out for centuries.

To one side, a second reception room with its own open hearth leads gracefully into an exquisite Georgian dining room—a space designed for hosting unforgettable evenings. A staircase here, once connected to the master suite above, serves as a romantic architectural reminder of the property's evolution through the ages. A mysterious hidden staircase, believed to descend to a long-lost basement, adds a thrilling touch of intrigue.

At the rear, the kitchen showcases what is reputed to be the oldest working Aga in the south-west, pairing historic charm with enduring function. The adjacent conservatory, currently a utility area, opens onto the tranquil courtyard garden—a peaceful sanctuary perfect for al fresco gatherings or quiet reflection.

Upstairs, five generous bedrooms bask in natural light, each radiating their own unique charm and character. A beautifully finished family bathroom and a delightfully quirky halfway bathroom off the grand staircase offer both luxury and whimsy.

The Grounds

Set within approximately one acre of immaculate gardens, the estate features sweeping lawns, mature trees, and a wealth of hidden corners to explore. The beautifully preserved walled garden provides both privacy and magic, offering a true escape from the modern world. A 300-year-old yew tree stands proud—a living monument to centuries past.

The property also benefits from a detached outbuilding with approved planning permission for a two-bedroom annexe, making it ideal for guest accommodation, holiday rental, or creative retreat.
