Abstract: |
SWARCH was commissioned to undertake an appraisal and impact assessment at Blagdon Manor, Clawton, Devon. Blagdon Manor is a Grade II Listed house that was converted into a hotel in the late 20th century following a programme of renovation. Blagdon House is comprised of a relatively high status complex of structures, periodically extended, arranged around a central courtyard. The manner in which it has developed indicates its initial high social status was maintained, with ongoing investment through the 17th-19th centuries and the need for expansion until at least the 19th century. The building is located on the site of a medieval sub-manor and has a relatively-well documented history. Structurally the building is still relatively complete, and internally the building has retained the feeling and layout of a private house. The main reception spaces have been retained and several key internal features of historic interest such as the stair and fireplaces survive despite its conversion to a hotel in the late 20th century. Sympathetic conversion back to a private residence should have minimal impact on the surviving historic fabric or details. |
