Old Kea is a small hamlet in south Cornwall, near the city of Truro, where the Truro River meets the River Fal. The area is steeped in history, with a traditional church and a quiet, rural charm. The property, Lambe Creek House, is situated on the banks of the Truro River, with sweeping river views and a long, winding drive. The house has a rich and colourful history, having been owned by notable figures such as Admiral Temple and Beakus Penrose, an art collector who introduced Surrealism to the UK. The property has been the site of several famous house parties, including one attended by artists and writers such as Lee Miller, Max Ernst, and Man Ray. The house itself is a period home with seven bedrooms, a country kitchen, and a games room, set amidst idyllic grounds with mature trees, lawns, and a private beach and jetty. The property is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history and restore it to its former glory.
