Description
Kingcombe is a large, irregular house built in the Cotswold style, dating to 1925 and designed by Leslie Mansfield for Sir Gordon Russell. Additions were made in 1935 by J C Shepherd, and the garden layout was designed by Geoffrey Jellicoe. The house is constructed of rubble stone with Cotswold stone roofs, featuring stone mullioned windows. The garden front has two Cotswold gables and a gable end inscribed "GRT1925". Notable details include an imbricated lintel above the north-east entrance door and a moulded string at first-floor cill level. A cross-plan, cross-gabled pavilion stands to the north. Shepherd’s additions include a 1930s-style entrance accessed via a rock-pool to the north-west, and a set-back link to the west. A low gargoyle sits to the south-east, situated above a spring head and depicting Sir Gordon Russell.
