The house began as a small pagoda built by Lady Caernarvon in 1930 in the grounds of her estate in order to contemplate the sea views in a peaceful setting amongst trees. The trees, planted in Victorian times, are still a special feature of Plantation House and are now grown to magnificent maturity.

 

In 1988 the property was extended to form a light, spaceous and elegant house in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright built of wood and glass and hung upon a cantilevered steel frame. It was thoroughly refurbished in 2007 to the highest specification in natural materials and incorporating state of the art services. The result is superb luxury accommodation for up to six guests.

 

The grounds are entirely private and extend over two acres. The mature trees have been supplemented by more recent plantings and there are woodland shrub walks, lawns and an ornamental garden with pergola and a formal fish pond. The gardens are professionally maintained to a high standard throughout the year and provide sanctuary for a wide range of attractive and unusual wildlife including red squirrels and many types of aquatic and woodland birds. Fishing from the sea wall is excellent when the bass are running.
