Princes House is a Grade II listed Georgian mansion house, built in around 1740 by architect Thomas Edwards for renowned local business-man William Lemon.

The Lemon family are an iconic family in Cornish history having been successful merchants and mine owners.  William Lemon's grandson, also called William Lemon, served as a Member of Parliament for 54 years in total representing both Penryn and Cornwall, and he became a Baronet in 1744.  Their name lives on in Lemon Street and Lemon Quay - both key streets in the City, and the Princes House Collective are very privileged to work from their stunning family home every day.

The building is a beautiful example of Georgian architecture and many of the studios have absolutely breathtaking original period features which really bring home the quality of the service you'll be receiving here.  The red carpeted central open-well staircase is a fine example of craftsmanship at the time showcasing the key motif which was popular.

Interestingly, the porch, steps and boundary wall are from a much later date, having been designed by Silvanus Trevail and added in 1893 by then owner SJ Polkinhorn.

The building is now owned by Nick Briant a prominent business man in the South West with a number of interests across the county.

We look forward to welcoming you to Princes House.
