A beautiful home once lived in by a suffragette who helped secure women’s right to vote has hit the market for £875,000.
The Grade II-listed Georgian property, called Zimapan House, was home to MP Charles Conybeare and his wife Florence Annie Conybeare.
Florence was a close friend of Emily Pankhurst, founder of the British Women’s Social and Political Union, a women-only organisation established in 1903.

She was a fundraiser and Voluntary Aid Detachment worker during the First World War, and an active member of the Women’s Liberal Federation.
Ultimately, she was an activist in the suffragette movement which helped women gain the right to vote in 1918.
And now her old property is up for sale, surrounded by stunning open countryside in Tregullow, near Truro, Cornwall, as reported by Luxury Property News.
It has many original features including sash windows with working shutters, wooden floors, cast iron fireplaces and 12ft high ceilings with ornate ceiling roses and decorative mouldings.
In the 37 ft grand hall there is a traditional Old English Barton-style black and white tiled floor and crystal chandeliers.
The 25ft kitchen has a large central island, an American fridge freezer, integrated appliances, a large induction hob with an integrated extractor and boiling water tap.
The bright white worktops and cabinetry create a clean minimalist style kitchen.
On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a separate staircase which leads up to a massive loft area which could easily be converted into additional bedrooms or a studio, subject to permissions.
Two sets of double gates enclose a sweeping, gravelled driveway with extensive room for parking.
The front walled garden contains decorative trees, a gravel drive and lawned areas.
Extending beyond the walled front garden are the large and well-established grounds bordered by mature plants and trees.
Country walks, cycling and horse riding are all nearby as the house and garden benefit from private access to the Devoran-Portreath trail.
Set within the grounds is a stone-built garage and workshop with additional container storage providing substantial outhouse storage for vehicles and garden equipment.
As well as the walled garden and the large grounds, the property also benefits from a walled courtyard garden with a seating area, hot tub and low-maintenance artificial lawn.
