Landaviddy Manor, Polperro, Cornwall, PL13 2RT-Manor House For Sale-Substantial Plot-No Chain-Pool

Nestled within approximately 1.07 acres of beautifully established gardens on the edge of the picturesque fishing village of Polperro, Landaviddy Manor is an exceptional 18th Century Georgian country residence enjoying glorious views across National Trust countryside towards the Cornish coastline. Together with a detached three-bedroom cottage, swimming pool, hot tub and superb entertaining spaces, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial lifestyle home in one of South East Cornwall's most sought-after coastal locations. Built in the 1700s from traditional Cornish stone, Landaviddy Manor (originally Landivedda) formed part of the historic Manor Rafael Estate, whose origins date back to Robert, Count of Mortain, half-brother of William the Conqueror and one of England's greatest landowners recorded in the Domesday Book. The estate remained intact until 1811, when it was divided and sold for the first time in over 700 years. Landaviddy was purchased by Thomas Robins of Liskeard before passing through the Hosken and Bolitho families. During the 1970s it became a successful bed and breakfast before being acquired in 2001 as a family home and luxury holiday let, hosting large groups and weddings. This is the first time the property has been offered for sale in 25 years. Steeped in local folklore, the Manor is rumoured to have been linked to Polperro's smuggling trade via a hidden tunnel from the cellar to the village. Nearby is the historic Saint's Well, referenced in J. Couch's History of Polperro (1871), long associated with healing waters. The Manor immediately impresses with its elegant proportions and wealth of period character. A welcoming reception hall leads to an impressive formal dining room, perfectly positioned between the principal lounge and spacious kitchen/breakfast room, creating an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining. The lounge centres around a feature fireplace, while the kitchen is complemented by a utility room. A games room and adjoining private bar provide further entertaining space, while the ground floor also offers a generous double bedroom with en suite and a cloakroom. Upstairs are seven further bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from a dressing room and en suite, while a guest suite also enjoys en suite facilities. Additional bedrooms are served by Jack and Jill bathrooms, shower rooms and a family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation ideally suited to large families, guests or continued luxury holiday use. The detached three-bedroom cottage offers excellent independent accommodation for extended family, guests or holiday letting, comprising an open-plan living and dining room, fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The beautifully landscaped grounds extend to approximately 1.07 acres, offering mature lawns, established planting and numerous seating areas from which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and far-reaching countryside views towards the sea. A swimming pool and secluded hot tub complete this exceptional outdoor setting. Despite its tranquil position, the Manor is just a short walk from the heart of Polperro, one of Cornwall's most iconic fishing villages, renowned for its picturesque harbour, independent cafés, traditional pubs and sheltered beach. The South West Coast Path and nearby bridleways provide outstanding opportunities to explore the spectacular coastline and surrounding countryside. Combining rich history, elegant period architecture, extensive accommodation and outstanding leisure facilities, Landaviddy Manor presents an exceptional opportunity as a distinguished family residence, luxury coastal retreat or established hospitality business.
