Place House, English country house in Fowey, United Kingdom

Place House features stone-built elements with two storeys on the south front, incorporating five windows and early sixteenth-century bay windows.

Elizabeth Treffry defended the tower against French forces in 1457, leading to subsequent fortification and rebuilding of the structure.

The property reflects Tudor architectural elements from 1485 to 1602, marking its significance in English architectural development.

The house remains closed to regular visits, with public access limited to specific occasions throughout the year.

Madeline Agar designed the gardens in the 1920s, creating a rose garden and rockery that remain unchanged to present day.
