stair window and traveried head.

Interior; has  most of its original features including mahogany panelled doors;

moulded architraves with lions heads in the corner blocks; open well stair

with mahogany handrail scrolled over the newel; marble chimney pieces in

the front reception rooms; fine plasterwork with trailing bands and a cross

vault over the junction between the axial and cross passage. Service rooms

are also unaltered and were fuel stores and pantries to the ground floor and

probably apple stores or servants quarters above.

Parallel to the rear of the house is a high rubble retaining wall with square

Edged granite copings. There is a narrow gateway towards the left. The

gate piers are integral with the walls and rise as square chamfered heads

above the walls. Small gateways have their original wrought iron gates with

roundels to the lock rails, arched top rails, ball and steeple finials and arrow

headed finials over the top rails. At the left hand end of the garden the wall

returns at right angles to the front.

Kennall Vale house is one of the most interesting and complete early C19

houses in this part of Cornwall. The rear courtyard with its cloister and

service wing is particularly interesting.
