Luscombe Castle, Gothic Revival country house in Dawlish, England.

Luscombe Castle features an octagonal tower with two wings and a square tower above the entrance, constructed with Portland stone.

Charles Hoare commissioned architects John Nash and Humphrey Repton in 1797 to create this residence, which was completed in 1804.

The formal gardens extend across 10 hectares, incorporating designs by John Veitch based on Repton's original landscape plans.

The dining room provides views of the valley, while the servant quarters occupy a separate wing of the building.

During World War II, the castle served as an evacuation location for preparatory school children and those requiring care.
