About the owners

Tregenna Castle Team

Listed since January 2015

Tregenna Castle started off humbly as a private home for a man with a love of the seaside. Over 240 years later and it’s a 72 acre estate with 84 bedrooms. The castle has come a long way but the building’s charm and views will never change.
