| Welcome to “Copperhouse” - Burncoose, Gwennap (Sleeping

| The Copperhouse is a grade11 listed
Geargian Country House built around 1780 Constructed as an administrative
centre for the Copper Mines and it is said that the World Copper price
was set from here each morning. It also features a huge iron clad
Strongroom Now granted Mining World Heritage status, the parish of
Gwennap was once said to be “the richest couple of square miles in
the world.” With the decline of Mining in the mid to late 1800's The
Copperhouse reverted to a Country House, originally part of the Burncoose
Landed Estate with the Chelsea award winning Nurseries adjacent. It
now stands in its own secluded grounds surrounded by many species
of Camellias and Rhodedendrons. |

vaguely in the centre of a triangle between Truro – Falmouth – Redruth
with the beaches of the South Coast 5 miles, the North Coast 8 miles
and Lands End 20 miles, making it perhaps one of the best central
positions for visiting the whole of Cornwall. |
