History[]

The current house was built in 1576 by Nicholas Treguddick,[1] and was later run by the Congdon family of tenant farmers. Following a fire, the house underwent restoration in 1878.[2] The manor served as a workhouse and refuge for the destitute.[3]

Architecture[]

The house was built in 1576 in the Elizabethan style and is set in 18 acres.[2] It is built from rubble-stone, with quoins and window mullions in granite, and a roof made of slate.[4] The manor contains eight bedrooms, a hall, drawing room, kitchen and a reception room and has offices, a dairy, and salting, boot and tack rooms in the outer buildings. The main house interior contains flagstone floors, old Victorian fireplaces and the remains of a servant's staircase. In the dining hall there are Elizabeth I's Royal arms, dated 1593 when the Queen supposedly visited.[4][5] Several agricultural buildings of note survive with the manor, including a barn, stables, cart shed and water pump. These date mostly to the 19th century and are grade II listed.[6][7][8] manor owners renovated one of the barns and converted it into an information centre with a café in 2018.[1]

The main manor was designated as a grade II* listed building on 1 December 1951[4]

Distillery[]

In 2019, the firm received planning permission to turn an old agricultural building at Treguddick into a gin distillery and attached visitors centre.[9] The company had previously been based in Essex[10] before relocating to Treguddick in Spring 2018.[11] The distillery and its visitor centre are now in operation.[12]
