A Blend of Eras
Ascott House has undergone one of the most extensive renovations of all National Trust properties. Originally a farmhouse built in 1606, it was enlarged in 1874 by Architect George Devey, a pioneer of Old English vernacular revival, to form Ascott Cottage. It was shortly expanded further to form a large hunting lodge with extensive stables, kennels and other outbuildings, before further enlargement into today’s extensive Edwardian home.
The Ascott Collection
Ascott House is home to an extensive collection of precious artefacts, paintings and ancient Chinese ceramics. In 1879, Leopold inherited part of his father’s (Baron Lionel) collection of Dutch and Flemish 17th-century art and French 18th-century furniture. Leopold and Marie, followed by their youngest son Anthony, continued collecting, adding artwork by Stubbs, Turner, de Cuyp and Gainsborough and rare Chinese porcelain in the 1920s and 1930s.
The Collection can be viewed via a self-guided tour through the house.
