Heathcote, Ilkley, Grade I listed house in Ilkley, England.

The Heathcote villa features symmetrical architecture with a central three-story block flanked by two two-story pavilions and red pantile hip roofs.

Edwin Lutyens designed and constructed this Neoclassical residence between 1906 and 1908 for wool merchant John Thomas Hemingway and his wife Emma Jane.

The structure combines local yellow Guiseley stone and grey Morley stone, displaying rustication on the ground floor and refined architectural details throughout.

Visitors can access the property through ornamental cast-iron gates on Kings Road, leading to a forecourt situated directly north of the house.

The gardens, designed by Gertrude Jekyll in 1906, contain formal canals, an oval lawn, and stone apsidal shelters integrated with terraced walkways.
