The History

A historical property built in 1683, Landewednack was a former rectory named by 6th Century Breton monks. Situated on the most southerly point of the UK, the house commands sweeping views of the wild Atlantic.

Inside

• Bedrooms: Five beautifully furnished rooms (3 doubles, a twin and a single). All bedrooms are named after the owner’s favourite local landscapes: Helford River has a four-poster double and en suite bathroom; Frenchman’s Creek is an elegant twin; Kynance Cove has a luxurious double-canopied bed and en suite facilities; Church Cove is a beautiful double; and Lizard Point is a snuggly single.
• Bathrooms: The two doubles in the house both have en suites, the twin has a private bathroom with a spa and Jacuzzi, and the other double also boasts its own private bathroom.
• For relaxation: Sink into a lounger in the summerhouse and ensconce yourself in the calm and peaceful atmosphere, or light the barbecue and ask your private chef to rustle up a cocktail.
• For recreation: Explore the rugged coast and rolling countryside, then take a dip in the Jacuzzi or swimming pool.

Outside

The garden flaunts an array of exotic trees and plants in a radiant, secluded plot with a large heated swimming pool, summerhouse, walled garden, water features and sheltered corners in which to hideaway with a book.
