A charming country house amidst beautiful gardens and grounds close to Falmouth and the Helford River.Argal ManorThe property was, we understand, part of the ancient village of Argal with the site probably a fortified hilltop due to its defensive situation, proximity to the Anther River, and a valley leading down to the sea. In the Elizabethan period the house was known as ‘Argal Wyn’ (White Argal) due to a proliferation of blackthorn bushes which produce a profusion of white blossoms in the Spring. The Hodge family took possession in the late 19th century when Captain Peter Hodge, a hero of the American War of Independence, used his army pension to modernise the house. He removed the pre-Elizabethan parts and constructed the eastern façade in Georgian style, adding a hallway, dining room, drawing room and 2 bedrooms. After completion of these works in 1827, Captain Hodge renamed the property ‘Argal Mansion House’, which was changed in the early 1900’s to ‘Woodfield’ before returning to the name ‘Argal’ in the 1950’s.The PropertySet quite centrally within its own, highly private, timbered and beautifully stocked grounds of approximately 4 acres, ‘Argal Manor’ enjoys an extremely high degree of privacy and seclusion, yet remains part of a small, semi-rural community of just 4 other properties, surrounded by countryside, at the end of a long private approach, away from passing traffic.The accommodation provides an extremely high degree of flexibility, with the tall, elegant Georgian parts, complemented by the manor-style character and features on the southern façade. Combined, there are up to 5 reception rooms, perfect for families and entertaining, an elegant reception hall with pillared portico, and an immense, farmhouse-style, kitchen/breakfast/living room with numerous domestic offices. A gracious turning staircase leads to a large landing, from where views are enjoyed through the trees to College Reservoir, and off which there are 3 bedrooms, 1 currently used as a dressing room, and good sized family bathroom. A lower landing which is also accessed via a secondary staircase, leads to 4 further bedrooms and a second bathroom. A third bathroom is located on the ground floor where there is the potential to create a flatlet suitable for a dependent relative etc, if required.Throughout, an abundance of features remain, including beautiful sash windows, window seats, high skirtings, 10’ high ceilings to the Georgian parts, open fireplaces, moulded cornices and timber floors etc.In all, a delightful, ‘comfortable’, family home, offering great scope for further enhancement if required, in our clients’ ownership for approaching 25 years, being sold with the benefit of immediate vacant possession with no onward chain.The Gardens And Grounds‘Argal Manor’ is set within its own tree and shrub-lined grounds which include a long sweeping driveway, formal lawn with magnificent copper beech, wisteria-clad main elevations, broad terracing with pond and mature shrubberies - a mass of rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas and magnolias etc. Tall trees, including ash, oak, sycamore and lime trees, provide a high degree of shelter, together with a verdant and sequestered outlook from every room. Myriad specialist trees and plants, including Persian ironwood and monkey puzzle etc, are dotted within the grounds with, to the northern boundary, a bluebell woodland bordering adjacent farmland over which views are enjoyed to College Reservoir. The pièce de résistance is the walled garden with its large lean-to greenhouse – perfect for the keen gardener and horticulturist.

The PropertyThe property has been in the current family ownership for 70 years or more. Once an old mill with miller's house and cottage, the property was expanded and extended to become a thriving manufacturing/engineering business, which following retirement has been closed. It is for sale now as a 1,500 sqm factory, wrapped around the original old mill; the neighbouring miller's house, presented as a well-proportioned three bedroom detached cottage; a further detached commercial building and an additional two bedroom detached cottage with views towards the creek.Complemented by close to 6.5 acres of level land, extending up the valley into woodland, this is a wonderfully private and tranquil setting that has undoubted future potential.SituationNearby Port Navas was known as ‘Cove' until the 19th Century when it was developed as a busy port for loading Constantine granite. Today it is a sleepy hamlet secreted at the head of a short tidal creek off the Helford River.
