Ennys was love at first sight!  From the moment we rounded the corner and caught our first glimpse of the house, the spell was cast.  And the love affair continues to deepen.  The peace is palpable and the location, sublime. 

Ennys means ‘remote’ or ‘island’ and, aptly named, the earliest record of a property here is as a hermitage to St Michael’s Mount.  Part of the present house was built in 1688 as a gentleman’s residence for Humphrey Millett, a tin merchant from Marazion whose initials are carved in the granite lintel over one of the doorways. The family owned the property for over 200 years and in the 18th century, the discovery of tin and copper on the land enabled them to extend and remodel Ennys into a Georgian manor to reflect their new prosperity.
