Ashcombe House, Gothic country house in Swainswick, England.

Ashcombe House features ogee-headed glazing, canted bays on the ground floor, and a two-storey section with an embattled parapet and casement windows.

The Grade II Listed structure, constructed in the early 19th century from ashlar and coursed squared rubble, underwent modifications during the late Victorian period.

Peter Gabriel owned the property from 1978 to 1987, transforming a barn into a recording studio where multiple acclaimed albums were produced.

The residence contains nine bedrooms, six reception rooms, including a Georgian ballroom, and extends across 25 acres of land in the Lam Valley.

The building retains elements of its past as a hunting lodge, with former kennels still present within the grounds of the estate.
