This beautiful early 18th century house now belongs to the National Trust although the contents still belong to the original owners, the Carew Pole family, who still use this as a home.
Antony House, near Torpoint in south-east Cornwall, was constructed for Sir William Carew between 1711 and 1721 and is believed to be one of the finest surviving Queen Anne buildings in the West Country. The house features some exceptional furnishings. There is a splendid collection of portraits including examples of works by Reynolds and a painting of Charles I at his trial. The house and gardens were donated to the National Trust in 1961.
