Cornwall, £5 million

About midway between Falmouth and the Helford River, close to the village of Mawnan Smith, lie the idyllic 31-acre environs of Penwarne. The manor was first recorded in 1313; the current house was built in the late 18th century, with a major structural renovation in the 1980s, and the gardens open every spring via Cornwall Gardens Trust in support of various charities. Today, the modernised Georgian house, with its six bedrooms and views of Falmouth Bay, is an occasional film set. As well as a hard tennis court in Wimbledon purple and green, the grounds contain a swimming pool, walled garden, kitchen garden, duck pond, water tower, Japanese garden and Jungle', all interspersed by pathways and streams, plus a sloping lawn in front of the gravel forecourt fringed by specimen trees. Two two-bedroom cottages accessed via a separate driveway could be let. Savills (01872 243200)
