Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a historic building appraisal, statement of significance and retrospective impact assessment for the main house, bungalow and stables' cottage at Lillycombe Estate, Oare, Exmoor National Park, Somerset. This work was undertaken in consultation with the Exmoor National Park Authority to address works carried out to all three buildings without consent. Lillycombe House is an exceptional early 20th century country house designed by Lady Lovelace, Baroness Wentworth, Lord Byron's great-granddaughter, assisted by noted 'Arts and Crafts' architect, furniture and textile designer C.F.A Voysey. Lady Lovelace built the estate as a retreat, but died in 1917, only five years after its completion. The house forms part of a cohesive historic group at the settled core of the estate with good ancillary buildings and gardens, notably Lillycombe Bungalow and Lillycombe Stables' Cottage. All three buildings (house, bungalow, cottage) are individually Grade II Listed. |
