Bicton House, Devon, English country house and Grade II* listed building in Bicton, United Kingdom
The three-story mansion features architectural elements designed by James Wyatt, incorporating late 18th-century building techniques and materials throughout its structure.
John Rolle, 1st Baron Rolle, commissioned the construction of the current mansion around 1800, replacing an earlier manor house on the estate.
The mansion held an extensive art collection, including works from Dutch masters Rembrandt and Ruysdael, reflecting the aristocratic tastes of its owners.
The property now functions as part of Bicton College, after Devon County Council acquired it in 1957 to establish an agricultural education center.
During the Second World War, the house served as a temporary location for St Ronan's School, which later relocated to Kent.
