LANHYDROCK • CORNWALL

Newton House

Occupying a unique position surrounded by the National Trust-

owned Lanhydrock Estate, Newton House is a very special and

immaculate family home and it is evident that the current owners

have carried out painstaking and detailed renovation and upkeep

to produce a quite magnificent house.

Newton House is discreetly situated off the main avenue leading

up to Lanhydrock House, which is now its pedestrian access. The

house sits in a secluded, quiet position behind a high stone wall.

The approach is understated, and there is no nameplate.

Not listed, the house has been cleverly reconfigured and

redesigned with split level accommodation that maximises family

living space with all modern comforts, fixtures and fittings, both

internally and externally. The floor plan flows effortlessly throughout,

with the original two storey house forming the core with a three

storey extension on one side.

Of particular note are the drawing room and breakfast room. The

drawing room, like all the reception rooms, has plenty of built-

in shelving and cupboards to maximise space and storage. The

breakfast room faces both east and south and enjoys lovely vistas

that lead the eye down through the cleverly designed gardens.

With a total of 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms in the main house,

along with the Cottage, there is ample accommodation for a large

number of family members, guests and staff.

Gardens and Grounds

The meticulously landscaped gardens are quite fantastic with much of

the garden having wonderful symmetry. Divided into areas and rooms

by hornbeam hedges, there are a wide variety of specimen trees and

shrubs including hydrangeas, magnolias, acers, cercidiphyllums, and a

splendid metasequoia. The front garden is walled on three sides and

planted for spring and autumn colour, and winter scent.

At the back of the house, the family room leads onto a terrace, with a

loggia at one end. Steps lead up to the lawn, and align with a fountain,

approached through a wisteria tunnel and arches. Behind a yew

hedge the planting is principally magnolias, roses, hydrangeas,

buddleias, nepetas, sedums and many other plants designed to bring

scent and wildlife to the garden. A gazebo clad in wisteria, roses and

clematis provides scented dappled shade, ideal for morning coffee

on a hot summer’s day.

Other areas in the grounds include a vegetable garden, wild areas

and a spectacular water feature, overlooked by a terrace.

Cottage and Outbuildings

There are a series of original outbuildings, built of granite with slate

tiled roofs. At the end of the drive is a double garage and adjoining

shed. A separate building has been converted into a self-contained

cottage, providing perfect accommodation for dependent relatives,

guests or staff. An outbuilding opposite the back door is divided

into a gardener’s shed, hot tub ante-room and freezer/kitchen

store room. There are also three woodsheds.

Beyond the vegetable garden and courtyard is a storage yard,

hidden from view and with access off the parking area. It provides

very useful space for garden machinery. In addition to a gardener’s

loo there is also a boat store and large secondary parking area and

secondary access back onto the lane.

Lanhydrock Estate, Cornwall

Newton House is brilliantly placed for transport links, being close

to, but also far enough away from, the A30 (M5 1hour away), A38

and Bodmin Parkway railway station, linking directly to London

Paddington (3hrs 41minutes).

Truro and Launceston, offering excellent independent schools, are

both about 35 minutes drive away. Bodmin has just been chosen

for the location of a brand new 6th form college.

More locally, Newton House is equi-distant between Lostwithiel

and Bodmin. Lostwithiel is the antiques capital of Cornwall and

offers a number of fine restaurants, including the Trewithen and

Asquith’s. The Duchy Plant Nursery, and the new National Trust

Lanhydrock Cycle Hub, both offer fine cafe facilities.

Shopping

Bodmin offers a full range of amenities and facilities

including shopping, cafes, doctors’ surgeries, cottage

hospital, leisure centre and major supermarkets. More

extensive services can be found in Truro, a relatively

short drive away.

Sailing and Watersports

Newton House is within easy driving distance of both

the North and South coasts. Fowey, one of the finest

natural deep harbours in the county is just 12 miles

away. The very sought after locations of Rock and

Padstow (partly famous for Rick Stein’s restaurants) are

about 15 miles away on the North Coast and have some

of the best sandy beaches.

Restaurants

An excellent range of restaurants are within easy reach,

including several at Lostwithiel, Bosvena, recently opened

in Bodmin, The Crown at Lanlivery and Trehellas at

Washaway, all just a few miles away. Within easy reach

also are Rick Stein’s many establishments and Paul

Ainsworth’s No. 6 in Padstow, and Nathan Outlaw at the

St Enodoc Hotel in Rock, both boasting Michelin stars.

Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen in Watergate Bay is just another

of the seriously good eating establishments that are

popping up all over Cornwall, as chefs and customers

wake up to the fantastic opportunities afforded by local

produce, which is second to none in the UK, and widely

sought after in the best London restaurants.

Travel by Car

Communication links are good with the A30 dual

carriageway 4 miles away now providing fast access to

the M5 motorway network at Exeter.

Travel by Train

Bodmin Parkway (2 miles) which links directly to London

Paddington (3 hours 41 minutes).

Travel by Air

Newquay Airport is about 30 minutes away (20 miles) and

offers a number of national and international flights via

London Gatwick (under 1 hour flight away). Exeter Airport

(72 miles) provides regular daily flights to most European

Cities. Both cater for private and chartered jets.
