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.
