The Location

Maryfield House lies at the end of a picturesqe lane which it shares with the village church. The property is 2 miles west of Torpoint and adjacent to Antony House which is run by the National Trust. Access travelling west on A38 is good via Plymouth and the Torpoint Ferry. The coast at Whitsand Bay is a 2 mile drive to the south.


The History

The House was originally built as a school in 1847. This was to commemorate the birth of the first child to Mr & Mrs Pole Carew, owners of the neighbouring Antony House.
