Antony House

United Kingdom / England / Saltash / Torpoint, Cornwall PL11 2QA
 house, National Trust property (UK), Grade I Listed (UK)
Country House Antony House was constructed for Sir William Carew, between 1711-1721. The house stands on a peninsular formed by the confluence of two estuaries - the River Tamar to the east and the river Lynher to the north; the sea forming the southern edge. The gardens, which were landscaped by Repton, include a formal courtyard, terraces, ornamental Japanese pond, fine summer borders, sculptures and a knot garden. The house is a two-storey, silver-grey stone, block faced building with two brick wings joined by colonnades, and has remained largely unaltered, apart from the addition of the 19th century porch.
The house is now run by National Trust.
