3 TEHIDY PARK ESTATE HISTORICAL NOTE Tehidy Park dates back more than 700 years and for most of that time was the home of the Bassett family, a well known local land owning and tin mining family. By 1330 a significant building existed, following the granting of a building licence to William Bassett. The property was torn down by a group of Cornish rebels during the 1497 uprising. More than 200 years later in 1734 work on a large mansion was started by John Pendarves Bassett, but prior to that a Tudor manor house had been built on the same site. The architect to the new mansion and two lodges was William Turn of Piccadilly. The last of the Bassett family vacated the mansion in 1915. In 1916 the estate was sold, so drawing to a close seven centuries of family rule. By 1917 the bulk of the estate had been purchased by a London syndicate who offered the mansion with its 250 acres of land for use as a hospital. The Cornwall Committee of the Patriotic Fund persuaded Cornwall County Council to accept and maintain the building. It remained in use as a hospital until sold to Raven (Cornwall) Ltd who have completed the impressive, award winning restoration and new development. LOCATION Tehidy Park represents an important and outstanding development of exceptional houses of elegance and distinction within a beautiful and historic Country Estate. All homes enjoy the protection, privacy and natural beauty of this 42 acre Estate, communal areas of which include the tree lined carriage drive, vast lawns, a walled garden and unspoilt woodland. The Estate adjoins both a golf course and natural parkland known as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a 15 minute walk through the woods to the sea. Tehidy Park is approached along a ¾ mile driveway and adjoins Tehidy Park Golf Course to the east and Tehidy Country Park to the south. To the north, a belt of dense woodland protects the entire boundary of Tehidy Park, beyond which Tehidy Woods stretch to the Portreath/Gwithian road to the north side of which are large areas of National Trust coastal land and the North Cornwall Coastal Path.
