History

Holcombe House was originally built for a wealthy clothier from Painswick in the late 1600s,[2] and was later enlarged and remodelled in the early 1900s by Detmar Blow in the Arts and Crafts manner.[3] The house was subject of a painting by Charles March Gere in 1926.[4]

There are a number of associated listed structures associated with the house including the boundary walls and dovecote which are both Grade II listed.[5][6]
