Lynhurst

Lynhurst is a house located in Marazion, dating from the 17th century and remodeled in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It features rendered walls and a grouted scantle slate roof that slopes lower at the rear. There is a brick chimney on the left-hand gable end, next to a taller house on the right. The property has a cast iron ogee gutter. The layout consists of a double depth plan with two rooms at the front and a cross passage between them. Service rooms are located under an 18th-century outshut and an 18th-century projecting stair turret with a hipped roof on the right side.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window east front and a central doorway. The windows are 20th-century three-light casements with four-centred arched lights in wide openings, except for a narrower two-light window above the doorway. The rear features an 18th-century 20-pane window with wide glazing bars in the rear wall of the stair turret, along with a later sash window on the left-hand side. The interior has not been inspected. Notably, Prince Charles, later known as Charles II, is said to have spent the night here on March 2, 1646, before fleeing to the Scillies after the Royalist defeat at Naseby, as commemorated by an inscribed plaque.
