Pengarrock

Pengarrock is a decaying cliff-top mansion in Cornwall, with a huge library which needs to be tidied and sorted out. A dreamy place indeed.

The old house casts a spell on Jude and it also has a family chapel which she thinks might be linked to the family history. The romance of the setting and the mystery of the Trevillion family are as captivating as each other.

“The lights flickered and then came on again. Silence descended on the house”

This house is creaky and old and smells of history and secrets tucked away. Secrets to uncover which involve family jewels. Richly couloured sparkling gems which could help to salvage the crumbling mansion, once itself a gem on the Cornish landscape.

Such a house has its heart and history carved deep inside the Cornish countryside. Pengarrock sounds rocky and wild, has stunning views and Jude realises that the isolation especially in the past must have been both a blessing and a curse.
