A stunningly spacious, light and renovated manor house with long driveway approach blending original and contemporary design perfectly with superb attention to detail throughout. Essentially Georgian with later 19th and 21st Century extensions, this former boutique hotel represents a tremendous lifestyle opportunity within a location that is perfectly situated as a gateway to south and west Cornwall.
History
The earliest record of a residential property on this site was of a tiny farm cottage in the 16th century that was subsequently demolished and replaced in the early 17th century. This formed the beginning of the manor house built for William Robinson and the daughter of Thomas Penrose from the neighbouring Penrose Estate. Their son, Thomas, was a colonel in the army of King Charles I and became mayor of Helston.
The house was extensively remodelled in the 18th century to take on the Georgian style we see today. This included the construction of a three storey extension. A further extension was built in the 19th century.
Nansloe Manor was requisitioned during World War II, when injured Italian and German prisoners of war were billeted there, before being brought back into the Penrose Estate in 1942. In 1974 the manor was given to the National Trust before returning to private ownership in 1982. From the early 80s onwards it was run as a hotel.
A local entrepreneurial family bought the property in 2004 and set about a major renovation, including the contemporary two storey extension which added the dining room restaurant and four additional bedroom suites.
Nansloe Manor then changed hands in 2021 with the new owners then acquiring Nansloe Lodge in 2022.
