About this property
Faced in silver-grey Pentewan stone and flanked by colonnaded wings of mellow brick, this classically beautiful house is a beguiling mixture of the formal and informal, the venerable and the modern. Still very much the home of the Carew Pole family, it contains fine collections of paintings, furniture and textiles. The expansive grounds bordering the tidal Lynher estuary were landscaped by Repton and include a formal garden with topiary, a knot garden, modern sculptures and the National Collection of Daylilies. The woodland garden (owned by the Carew Pole Garden Trust) has outstanding displays of rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias and camellias (including the National Collection of Camellia japonica).
