Lasborough Park, Listed building and park in Kingscote, United Kingdom
Lasborough Park is a country house in Kingscote featuring a stone facade that extends over two stories with four corner towers. The building displays a symmetrical design with mullioned windows and embattled parapets along its roofline.
Architect James Wyatt designed the house around 1794 for Edmund Estcourt. The building underwent further modifications during the 19th century as needs and tastes changed.
The interior displays classical design elements including stone staircases, iron railings, and marble fireplaces that reflect late 18th-century British taste. These details reveal how the original owners lived and what they valued in their home.
The building is protected under Grade II heritage status, and visitors can explore the exterior and grounds. The location in Gloucestershire makes it accessible by car or public transport from nearby towns and villages.
The original architectural plans by James Wyatt differ from what was eventually built. These drawings remain preserved in the house and reveal the architect's initial vision before modifications were made.
