A remarkable Grade II Listed residence, set within 2.36 acres on the banks of the River Tamar, is presenting buyers with an increasingly rare opportunity to restore a piece of Cornwall’s architectural heritage. 

Landulph House, near Saltash, is being offered for sale by public auction on Wednesday 7th October 2026, with a guide price of £525,000–£550,000. 

Having been in the same ownership for approximately 40 years, this impressive historic residence is now ready for its next chapter, and for the right purchaser, the potential is truly immense. 

Set in a wonderfully private position overlooking the River Tamar, Landulph House combines an enviable waterside setting with the grandeur and character of a period residence. 

The property retains a wealth of original features, including slate-flagged flooring, sash windows, open fireplaces and generously proportioned rooms. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation includes an impressive entrance hall, drawing room, sitting room, study, butler’s pantry, kitchen and utility areas, while the first floor offers potential for up to seven bedrooms and two bathrooms. 

The property enjoys far-reaching views across the estuary and surrounding landscape, providing a spectacular backdrop to what could ultimately become an extraordinary family home. 

The grounds also offer considerable scope for imaginative landscaping and garden creation, subject to any necessary consents. 

The house does require substantial renovation and modernisation, but this is precisely what makes the opportunity so compelling. 

For a purchaser prepared to take on the challenge, Landulph House offers the chance to restore and reimagine a substantial and highly individual Cornish home, carefully combining modern living with the character and heritage already embedded within the building. 

Kivells Director Sam Turner MNAEA commented, ‘As Kivells continues to offer a diverse range of property through its auction department, Landulph House stands out as a particularly exciting proposition: a rare restoration opportunity where imagination, investment and careful oversight could bring this magnificent Cornish home back to life. 

With its Grade II Listed status, substantial accommodation, 2.36 acres of grounds and exceptional Tamar River setting, Landulph House is quite simply a property for someone who can appreciate what it is today, but also imagine what it could look like in the future.’
