Seven-bed Italian manor home in the Cornish countryside goes on the market for ... trends now
A grand home that offers a slice of Italian life in the Cornish countryside has gone on the market for £1.195m.
The Italian Pavilion is part of a Grade II Listed Neo-Palladian manor house.
The seven bedroom home is part of Tehidy Park, a 42-acre estate near Camborne that was redeveloped into 52 homes about 25 years ago.
Estate agents Lillicrap Chilcott said the sale was an opportunity 'quite unlike any other house for sale currently in Cornwall and perhaps in the south west of England'.
Tehidy Park dates back more than 700 years and spent most of that time as the home of the Basset family, a well known land owning and tin mining family that are referred to in the BBC's Poldark series.
The seven-bed property, set in rolling Cornish countryside, has a private entertaining terrace overlooking a beautiful sunken Italianate garden
The pavilion has more than 4,000 square feet of accommodation with five double bedrooms and a self-contained annexe
The impressive main bedroom was the former billiards room of the original manor house and has a barrelled ceiling, pyramid skylight and an ornately painted mural
The earliest property was torn down by Cornish rebels in the late 15th century and the existing mansion was built in 1734.
The Basset family left in 1915 and sold Tehidy Park in 1916. The bulk was bought by a London syndicate who offered the mansion and its land for use as a hospital and it remained in use as a hospital until it was sold for redevelopment in the 1990s.
The Italian Pavilion has five double bedrooms and there is also a self-contained annexe with another two double bedrooms.
The impressive main bedroom was the former billiards room of the original manor house and has a barrelled ceiling, pyramid skylight and an ornately painted mural.
The pavilion has more than 4,000 square feet of accommodation with an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast
