This
splendid Regency mansion, built in 1810, has wonderful architectural
features which have been carefully restored, and a five star rating.
Granite-built Cortes House makes an immediate impression thanks to the alabaster-white hallway with stained-glass, interior windows and the Cortes coat of arms adorning the cornicing. The inner hall has timber stairs leading to the elegant, galleried first and second floor landings, which are flooded with light thanks to a cupola above the second storey.
The crisp,
white theme and timber floors continue throughout the public
rooms and symmetrical hallways. The interior is modern, simple
and uncluttered, yet sympathetic to the architecture. Details
in the elaborate cornices have been carefully picked out to feature
in the soft furnishings and the white walls form a perfect backdrop
for a collection of contemporary art. The large master bedroom
has fantastic views over the front lawn and an en-suite with
jacuzzi bath. The individually designed bedrooms feature elegant
drapes at the windows and most have elegantly tiled en-suites.
The house is
set in five acres of mostly woodland, with a children's playground
and secluded garden. Cortes House is an ideal base for exploring
the north east coastline, bird watching and cycling and would
makes an elegant setting for weddings.
