@sangwann Thank you. When this house was built in the 1860's......there would have been a clear view down to St Austell Bay and the surrounding villages. However when the houses across the road were built in the 1910's the view was lost forever....unless you have scaffolding up while replacing your roof tiles......!
@casablanca haha....It could be! We have various plants in the garden that are not 'local' ....this house was built in the 1860's by the then 'Lord of the Manor' who had family contacts to Lord Tremayne (who owned Heligan House) where he sent searchers out to every corner of the world to bring back exotic plants and trees.......we seem to have an assortment of a few of them !!!
