Camellia Manor - Zwölf Schlafzimmer Villa, Schläft 24

Nestled in the charming village of St. Germans, just four miles from the stunning South Cornish coast, Camellia Manor is a historic treasure that feels like stepping back in time. Situated in an elevated, secluded spot, the manor offers spectacular views over 25 acres of lush grounds, including gardens designed in 1792 by the renowned Sir Humphrey Repton. As you approach, the imposing Grade II listed building stands proudly, its Gothic façade adorned with wisteria, roses, and honeysuckle, welcoming you to explore the fascinating layers of its rich history.

Inside, you are greeted by the grandeur of the entrance hall, with its intricate cornicing and tall gothic windows that frame views over the ancient Elizabethan ruins. The long reception hall leads you to the impressive principal reception rooms, including the drawing room, which once served as a ballroom. With its marble fireplace, parquet flooring, and delicate cornicing, this space feels both regal and inviting. Adjacent to the drawing room, the sitting room, flooded with natural light, offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with its original ornate fireplace. The house seamlessly combines modern comfort with its historic charm – the Robinson & Cornish-designed kitchen is a perfect blend of practicality and style, featuring an Aga, modern appliances, and a cosy family room, ideal for gathering with loved ones.

Upstairs, the spacious master suite boasts stunning views over the garden and paddocks, while seven further bedrooms provide plenty of space for family and friends. The layout is perfect for multi-generational stays, with self-contained apartments on the lower ground floor offering privacy and comfort for guests seeking a bit of solitude.

The grounds of Camellia Manor are nothing short of breathtaking. Wander through the formal gardens, past the orchard and the semi-formal areas, and discover the tranquil bluebell wood or the quarry garden hidden behind a slate tunnel. The lush lawns, peacock enclosure, and the iconic ice house add to the manor’s charm, making it the perfect backdrop for any celebration or special occasion.

With its unique blend of history, grandeur, and natural beauty, Camellia Manor is an extraordinary place to escape, unwind, and make lasting memories.

Location:

Camellia Manor is located amongst beautiful countryside, 4 miles from the South Cornwall coast and close to the Cornwall/Devon border. Plymouth and South Hams lie to the east while Devon’s Tavistock and Dartmoor lie to the north east. Plymouth boasts the Theatre Royal which attracts major opera, ballet and drama productions, excellent shopping facilities, amazing restaurants and some of the best sailing facilities in Europe. The thriving market town of Tavistock is an ancient stannary town and home of the cream tea. It holds world heritage status and is famous for its award-winning farmers’ market and pannier market. Tavistock has direct access to Dartmoor’s magical Western Moor, the perfect spot for picnics, walking, cycling and riding.

Liskeard is another attractive ancient stannary and market town, 14 miles west of the River Tamar and 12 miles east of Bodmin at the head of the Looe Valley. There are some excellent restaurants and independent shops.

Saltash is situated on the west bank of the River Tamar, across the river from Plymouth. Saltash enjoys great access to adventures on the river with the Tamar Valley being designated an Area of Outstanding Beauty. It is also close the the National Trust’s Cotehele House. Visitors enjoy sailing, watersports and bathing in the Tamar Estuary.

To the west of Camellia Manor, on the coast, is the very attractive Polperro. The South West Coast Path offers some fantastic, scenic walking plus there are interesting shops in Polperro. A figure-of-eight walk around the historic fishing village and the headlands surrounding Polperro covers historic sites including the net loft perched on Peak Rock, the Victorian sea pool, the lighthouse and the site of the medieval chapel. The Polperro Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing is fascinating.

Further along the coast is Fowey, a picturesque town and bustling small port. The attractive harbour is flanked by 14th century blockhouses, one in Fowey and the other in the delightful town of Polruan on the opposite side of the river. In Polruan you will find pretty cottages clinging to the hillside. A car ferry crosses the river to Boddinick. The ferry house was originally the du Maurier family home and later the home of Angela du Maurier, Daphne’s sister. The Fowey Estuary is stunning with boat trips galore.

Golf fans will be delighted with the courses at St Mellion, Yelverton and Tavistock. Racing at Newton Abbot and Exeter is also very popular.
