Crowe Hall, Georgian villa in Widcombe, England
Description
Crowe Hall is a Georgian manor house in Widcombe with about three hectares of gardens extending down a hillside. The building itself has a basement level, two main floors, four ionic columns at the entrance, and an orangery from the 1880s.
History
The house was built in 1760 for Brigadier Crowe and later gained Grade II listed status. A major fire in 1926 severely damaged the building, but it underwent comprehensive restoration afterward.
Culture
The gardens reflect Victorian design principles with their formal terraces and water features that divide the grounds into distinct zones. Visitors can observe how gardeners and estate owners shaped these spaces over many decades.
Practical
The grounds have solid terrain at various entry points, and the natural slope creates different pathways through the gardens. Good footwear is advisable as ground conditions can vary depending on the weather.
Did you know?
The property contains a Neptune statue from Brownsea Island and a small Gothic cottage built in 1854 that once housed the head gardener. These additions are curious and valuable features rarely noticed by casual visitors.
