Background
Description
Described by Peter Laws as one of the most elegant houses of the earliest years of the 19th-century and possibly the best house of the period in Penzance. It lies in an area between three other large houses; Castle Horneck, to the west and Nancealverne and Rosecadgehill, to the east: <blockquote> .... it is of granite ashlar with slate roof, recessed windows, and an elegant semi-circular open portico with four granite Doric columns and entablature. The front entrance door has two flanking windows with highly ornamented glazing. Internally, it has a magnificent staircase with fine plasterwork surmounted by an elliptical dome.</blockquote>
