Trelissick House

Who doesn’t have a tower in their back garden?

Working away so I found a nice little house and garden to stroll around.

Just a glimpse.

Looking at the house, not the view.

Looking at the view not the house.

Portrait of the trees.

The woodland is still looking greener than back home, a little further South and so holds a little more warmth.

House detail. A work in progress.

Why the house was built.

The whole house was designed to take advantage of the views over the River Fal Estuary, and does its job extremely well. With views from all rooms looking over the gardens or the estuary, and strategic gaps and high places created to take advantage of the best viewpoints, it carries out the task in hand to maximum effect.

Finally, go out and enjoy the change to Autumn and Winter, feel the season turn and let the year wind down with you so you get to relax into the future. It’s going to arrive anyway so you might as well enjoy it.
