Tucked away at the end of a long, private driveway and set within approximately eight acres of exquisite grounds, Fox Manor is an exceptional detached residence of rare distinction. This impeccably presented 1930s home offers an extraordinary blend of period elegance and contemporary refinement, delivering a lifestyle of privacy, tranquillity and understated luxury.

The property
Meticulously renovated throughout, the principal house provides five beautifully appointed bedrooms, complemented by a separate two-bedroom detached cottage, ideal for guests, extended family or ancillary accommodation. Every element of Fox Manor has been thoughtfully curated, with breathtaking interior design evident in every room and an uncompromising attention to detail that elevates the property to a truly special offering.

The approach to the house immediately sets the tone, revealing a home of quiet grandeur and timeless appeal. The spacious entrance hall is a statement in itself, showcasing striking chequered stone flooring, a sweeping open staircase and elegant stained-glass detailing, all combining to create a memorable first impression.

The heart of the home is the magnificent kitchen and dining room, where beautifully restored original wood panelling sits in perfect harmony with a contemporary kitchen installation. Solid quartz worktops, an AGA, and refined finishes create a space that is both highly functional and visually stunning, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining on a grand scale. Off the kitchen, a delightful walk-in pantry provides additional storage and practicality, seamlessly blending convenience with style.

The living and sitting rooms are generous, light-filled and rich in character, featuring classic 1930s bay windows, restored flooring and open fireplaces that bring warmth and charm to each space. The remainder of the ground floor accommodation includes a well-equipped gym, a utility room, and a study/office, providing versatile spaces for both work and leisure. Large windows frame glorious views across the surrounding countryside and towards the sea, ensuring a constant connection to the property’s idyllic setting.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. Within the main house there are five beautifully appointed bedrooms, including two elegant en suite rooms, each finished to an exceptional standard. The family bathroom is a standout feature, finished with luxurious marble and premium fittings throughout. A bespoke dressing room offers floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, providing exceptional storage and a sense of boutique hotel indulgence.

Outside, the grounds are nothing short of exceptional. Extending to approximately eight acres, the gardens are immaculately maintained and designed to offer both beauty and seclusion, with sweeping lawns, spacious terraces, mature planting and established trees. Leisure facilities include a swimming pool and tennis court, while a triple garage provides ample parking and storage. In addition to the principal residence, a charming detached two-bedroom cottage is discreetly positioned within the grounds, offering excellent flexibility for guests, extended family or ancillary accommodation without compromising privacy. The grounds further benefit from a selection of useful outbuildings, a spacious dog exercise yard, and a workshop. There is also clear potential to create equestrian facilities, including stables, subject to the necessary consents.

Cornwall
Cornwall, on England’s southwestern coast, is a region of breathtaking natural beauty, famed for its dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and turquoise waters. Its coastline stretches for over 400 miles, offering everything from world-class surfing at Fistral Beach in Newquay to peaceful, picturesque coves like Kynance and Porthcurno. Beyond the beaches, Cornwall is rich in heritage and charm, with historic fishing villages such as St Ives and Padstow, the iconic St Michael’s Mount, and attractions like the Eden Project. Despite its coastal seclusion, Cornwall is well connected via the A30 trunk road, regular mainline train services to London, and flights from Newquay Airport, making it both a sought-after destination and a practical place to call home.
