SITUATION Gwarnick Manor is situated on the edge of the rural “hamlet” of Gwarnick, between and St Allen, in a wonderful tucked away, yet near to Truro, position.

HISTORICAL NOTE Gwarnick, “a place of alders”, is an old manor farmhouse steeped in history. The house was originally the home of the Beville family. It then passed to the Arundells of Trerice in the 16th century and was subsequently inherited by the Prideaux family. A stone carving of an eagle on the front of the house bears the Beville Arms – “Man Above All Thinge Feare God and the Kinge.”

DESCRIPTION The approach is over a gravelled in-and-out drive running either side of a central island with an old Yew Tree.

Gwarnick Manor is an impressive residence which boasts a number of original features fully reflecting its status as a Grade II Listed Building of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. These include window seats, slate flagstone floors, patterned hall and porch tiles, part beamed ceilings, balustrade stairs and an original well which is still used. The accommodation is presented to the market warranting updating and improvement throughout and with clear potential to create what is a superb and most attractive home with well-proportioned and interesting rooms. It is also considered there is some potential to convert the side Entrance Hall/Boot Room, Shower Room, Family Room and Apple Store into a separate self- contained annexe if desired - subject to all necessary consents and approvals.

On the ground floor is an enclosed Entrance Porch which opens via a wide old front door with heavy knocker to a Cross Passage Hallway with dado rail and doors off to the two main front Reception Rooms being a Dining Room and Drawing Room off which is a further Family. At the rear is a spacious farmhouse style Kitchen and Living Room, with most notably, a fine original slate flagstone floor. Off the Kitchen is a Snug or Office also with the slate flagstone flooring as well as a small Utility Room and access through to a large side Entrance Hall/Boot Room with a Shower Room with wc facilities and steps up to an old Apple Store. Outside is an attractive stone Log Store, Pump House with oil-fired boiler serving domestic hot water and central heating and old WC.

On the first floor, around a central balustrade Landing are five spacious Bedrooms, the front three of which enjoy views to the front garden with the fields beyond, a Bathroom and separate WC.

THE GARDENS AND GROUNDS Immediately to the front of the house is a wall and post and rail fenced enclosed level lawn garden intersected by a central pedestrian pathway. To the rear and sides beyond the Garage and car parking are further terraced mature gardens with areas of lawn and walkways through a variety of trees. Indeed, across the gardens and grounds there are Plum, Apple (eaters and cookers), Magnolia, Yew, Copper Beech, Sycamore, Fig, Crab Apple, Weeping Pear and Wisteria.

THE DETACHED DOUBLE BRICK GARAGE With metal clad pitched roof and with internal blockwork, concrete floor, windows to either side with lighting (currently not working).

THE TWO FIELDS Lying immediately to the east across the country lane are two adjoining and most attractive pasture fields which run down to the River Allen where there is long single bank frontage of about 170 yards. Within the northern-most field is an impressive coniferous tree known as “Tom’s Tree”.

In total, Gwarnick Manor extends to about 3.54 Acres (1.43 Hectares).
