About

Prideaux Place is a grade I listed Elizabethan country house in the parish of Padstow, Cornwall, England. It has been the home of the Prideaux family for over 400 years. The house was built in 1592 by Sir Nicholas Prideaux (1550–1627), a distinguished lawyer, and was enlarged and modified by successive generations, most notably by his great-great-grandson Edmund Prideaux (1693–1745) and by the latter's grandson Rev. Charles Prideaux-Brune (1760–1833). The present building, containing 81 rooms, combines the traditional E-shape of Elizabethan architecture with the 18th-century exuberance of Horace Walpole’s Strawberry Hill Gothic.

Built in 1592 by Sir Nicholas Prideaux, a distinguished lawyer, and home to the Prideaux family for over 400 years — one of the West Country's oldest continuously inhabited houses. Features Strawberry Hill Gothic interiors added in the 18th century. Used as a filming location for numerous productions. Overlooks the fishing port of Padstow with views across the Camel Estuary.
