Step Back in Time

Enjoy a stay in this beautiful and sympathetically refurbished historic building.

Towerhill is a 15th-century Grade II listed property in Bodmin, one of the town’s oldest homes, with a history dating back to the Domesday Book. Owned by the same family since the 18th century, the house retains many original features and family memorabilia, offering guests a warm and inviting stay.

What was once the Manorial Courtroom is now an elegantly furnished drawing room with period and modern touches, large shuttered windows and a cosy wood burning stove. The ceiling showcases a Tudor Rose motif, while the back wall displays a map of Cornwall by William Mudge, (1762-1820), a founding figure of the Ordnance Survey in 1791.

A former dining area has been transformed into a second lounge, decorated with green ‘grasscloth’ wallpaper and portraits of clockmaker ancestors. It’s an ideal spot for pre-dinner drinks or afternoon tea, using bone china from the Queen Anne Spice cupboard.

The spacious kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave, alongside a restored wooden farmhouse table perfect for group meals. A working Esse cooker keeps the house warm in the colder months and a nearby larder provides extra storage.

Upstairs, five individually decorated bedrooms offer unique features such as a Tudor barrel-vaulted ceiling, original oak beams and high, pitched ceilings. Two bedrooms have newly installed en-suites, while the main bathroom includes a free-standing bath, shower and double sinks.

Towerhill’s secure rear garden is a lovely space with outdoor furniture, perfect for enjoying the sunshine and views. Its location near St Petroc’s Church makes it ideal for family gatherings, particularly those attending services at the church. The property comfortably accommodates up to ten guests.

Located in central Cornwall, Bodmin is historically significant as the former county capital and provides easy access to both north and south coast beaches, as well as major tourist attractions. As one reviewer expounds, ‘…a house with so much character and original features, but also with all the mod cons to make our stay comfortable.’ Who could ask for more?
