Welcome to Flora Court.

A stunning flexible, spacious and well-connected home in a highly sought-after location.

A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire this magnificent 5-bedroom historic house with its sumptuous landscaped stepped terraces and private garden with extensive views. Its five bedrooms, three bathrooms and flexible living spaces, mean this property can be tailored to your needs both inside and out. Having the rare mix of unique period features and recently renovated modern interiors, this expansive property achieves the desirable blend of old and new in a comfortable but exquisitely presented fashion.

Spacious and unique, Flora Court is the only property in the area that boasts a half-timbered exterior and a long granite pebbled driveway that is gated. Whether you need a home office with a separate entrance or a quiet nursery for your newborn, Flora Court can simultaneously fulfil these functions whilst providing ample space for hosting your visitors and loved ones.

This meticulously restored period home seamlessly blends history with modern luxury, offering an elevated lifestyle in one of Cornwall’s most sought-after post codes. Natural beams, wooden floors and two wood burners bring a rustic charm and cosy warmth to the generous living spaces at either end of the house. A private balcony overlooks the courtyard and its ornamental lily-covered fishpond, perfect to relax with your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Flora Court strikes a wonderful balance between being aesthetically impressive and expertly designed, whilst being a functional living space.

Whether this is your main home or somewhere to retreat to with family and friends for holidays, you will find yourself well connected. Only a short stroll on the flat to the beautiful town’s renowned independent shops, farm-to-table butchers, bakers, artisanal markets and eateries, your every want can be catered for. Sought after beaches of Rock and Polzeath are only a few miles away, the Camel estuary and Camel trail are a few minutes’ walk across the iconic bridge and the Michelin listed and starred restaurants of Padstow are just a little further. Within easy reach of railway connections, an airport and major roads, Flora Court has you at once in a secluded paradise whilst being able to travel with ease.

Steeped in history, Flora Court holds a significant place in Wadebridge’s past as the birthplace of Wadebridge’s electricity, its charming half-timbered façade visible in Francis Frith’s photographs from 1920. Later, the home of a perfume designer, the property has been carefully renovated to retain the elegance of its heritage, whilst being thoughtfully updated to preserve its period character. This is not just a home, it is a masterpiece of history and craftsmanship, a sanctuary of luxury and a rare chance to become the owner of a special piece of Wadebridge’s past.

As its name suggests, Flora Court is a stunning South-facing property set within beautifully landscaped stepped terraces. The property boasts two sun-drenched private terraces, elegantly lit for evening entertaining with breath-taking views across the town. Leading from the sun terrace is a secluded private walled garden, a home to rare Cornish and Mediterranean plants. Mature fruit trees, flowering bushes and a vibrant tapestry of flowers nestled within the beds and rockery provide a backdrop to the restored summerhouse.

Once a part of Gonvena Manor House’s Historic Garden (built 1820), the estate’s history is still visible in the remaining original outbuilding walls. The pathway leading away from the garden takes us to Gonvena Manor House’s adjoining fields, perfect for a dog walk on the gentle hilltop ‘right of way’ bridle path, taking full advantage of the extensive views.
Proceed down Govena Hill and the entrance to the property can be found on the right hand side just past the Ship Inn.
