Built in the early 1800’s this attractive grade II house in A small hamlet on
the north coast of cornwall offers versatile accommodation with sea views.
Built originally as a Count House, where the mine captain lived and the
accounts were kept, it was here that adventurers, the investors in the mine
met. The Wheal Gertrude mine was not the success that was hoped for and ceased
production in 1828. In the following decade Mingoose Villa became a Kiddley -
wink, licensed to sell beer but a wink to the landlord would produce brandy
hidden in a kettle. From 1847 it turned into the vicarage for the New Church
in Mount Hawke and for 40 years a succession of 6 vicars lived at the
property. The current owner has enjoyed the property for over 60 years and
describes it as always being a happy house.
