Grade II-listed St Cadix, which stands on the site of an ancient Cluniac priory, dissolved in 1536, occupies a truly magical position at the head of St Cyriac's Creek with direct access to tidal waters. The house was completely rebuilt in 1710 by Richard Wymond, an ancestor of the late Lord R. A. (‘Rab') Butler. For sale for the first time in 55 years, it has three reception rooms, a library, five bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms and a range of traditional buildings, protected on all sides by 78 acres of woodland leading down to the creek.

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
