History
Mothecombe House was built in 1710 for John Pollexfen, a farmer, to replace the modest green cottage, his original farmhouse. The walled garden, cut flower garden and stables are contemporary with the 1710 house. Henry Bingham Mildmay bought Mothecombe in 1870 and a year later also bought the Flete estate and joined the two properties with a five-mile carriageway along the River Erme. In 1925 his son Alfred Mildmay commissioned Edward Lutyens to build a new wing, including a dining room on the south west side of the house. Lutyens also re-modelled the terrace and walled garden and designed the garden buildings with a characteristic sweep at the corners of the roof.This information sourced from Gardens-Guide.com
