Boconnoc is a detox for the soul. Tucked down two miles of private drive, as soon as you enter Boconnoc you are transported to another world; a world of tranquillity, peace and breath-taking scenery. Ancient trees inhabit the vast corners of the estate, whilst the gardens burst with extraordinary blooms. Boconnoc House sits in the heart of the estate. This Georgian country house is surrounded by rolling countryside and immaculate lawns, the only sounds you will hear are the birds and the trees swaying gently in the breeze. The house was restored to its former glory following a 12-year restoration project by the Fortescue family.
