More about this scene

Ven House c1955 Further downhill along London Road, Ven House is set back from the road beyond a forecourt. It is in English Baroque style: giant pilasters, cornice and attic are surmounted by a balustraded parapet. Started in 1698 and finished by 1730, it is built in brick with Ham stone dressings. Designed by Nathaniel Ireson, who also designed Crowcombe Court in The Quantocks for James Medlycott, it is a most elegant composition framed by the cedars.
