Set within 25 acres of enchanting grounds, this property combines timeless elegance with modern comfort, creating a truly memorable escape in a stunning location in west Cornwall.
Rich in heritage, Nancealverne House has been recently gifted to the Cornwall Heritage Trust and Classic Cottages are delighted to be working alongside them to promote this special property. The house has strong connections with Cornwall’s maritime past and retains an abundance of original period features that reflect the grandeur of this historical home.
The apartment offers a warm welcome for couples or families and four-legged friends. The retreat is set on one floor (there are entrance steps to the property), with two comfortable bedrooms sharing a family shower-room. The kitchen has all you need for a relaxing stay including an air fryer and coffee pod machine. The true centrepiece of this cottage is the magnificent sitting-room. It is bathed in natural light from the impressive floor to ceiling original Georgian windows with breathtaking views across the sweeping grounds to the front of the house. Original artworks adorn the walls, adding character and charm and sharing the stories of the home. It is an elegant space to sit and relax, admire the scenery or light the cosy wood-burner set in the original marble fireplace and relish in the space of times gone by.
During your stay you are welcome to explore the beautiful estate (shared with the other two properties here) with its peaceful gardens and small lake bustling with life (please keep dogs on a lead). Occasionally, a few cattle graze on the field in front of the house. Guests of Admiral’s Den can also enjoy access to Spinney Field, a peaceful haven teeming with wildlife.
