Harptree Court

The house was built in 1797 on several fields including one known as Brookes Close. It was originally known as Richmond Hall. The original owner Joshua Scrope put the house up for sale in 1803 and it was bought by the Waldegrave family. It was sold again in 1858 when it was bought by a Miss Gurney. In 1879 it was bought by William Wildman Ketllewell. It is now a private house.The Great British Bake Off was filmed at Harptree Court for both Series 3 and Series 4.

The 11746 sqft house was built of Bath Stone in a neoclassical style with the front having 13 bays. There is a central Greek tetrastyle porch with an ironwork balcony above it. There are flanking bays on either side to pedimented end bays. The rear, or garden front, of the building has a similar design to the front but with a distyle ionic porch. There are similar gatepiers at the upper lodge north of the house, and another at the entrance to the stable yard. Within the grounds are two lakes fed by a small stream. The stream is crossed by a small ornamental balustraded bridge.
