Description:

St Breock Place dates from the late 17th century, with earlier origins thought to date back to the 14th and 15th century. A former rectory, St. Breock Place was extended and remodelled during the early/mid-18th century and contains many original features with fine proportions. In the past the house was configured as two separate homes, each with its own kitchen and front door; a Georgian wing and an older, 16th century section at the rear. The house has historic connections with the well-known Molesworth family. In 1787 the Rector, the Reverend John Molesworth married Miss St Aubyn of the St Levan family from St Michael's Mount. St Breock Place is a fine Grade II listed family house built of local stone, slate hung tiles under a Delabole slate roof and is approached through formal granite posts, up a sweeping drive to a gravelled parking area. It gives a wonderful sense of arrival and sets the tone for this handsome country house. Inside, the classic layout and proportions ensure St Breock Place is the perfect family home, with a wealth of period features throughout including decorative plasterwork, panelling, original full height sash windows, shutters, window seats and flagstone floors. The main entrance hall leads into the elegant dining room and through to the excellent south-facing drawing room and library. The kitchen is a superb size and provides ample space for dining and informal entertaining. It forms the heart of the home and features a stone floor, central island, attractive worktops and a four-oven oil fired AGA. Off the kitchen is the utility room and cloakroom. There is a pleasing flow throughout the ground floor which also comprises a sitting room, study, WC and a useful secondary kitchen adjacent to the dining room. The generous proportions continue to the first floor, accessed via a fine easy rising 18th century staircase with turned balusters. The principal bedroom enjoys rural views,.
