Plympton House is the principal residence at the Plympton House Estate, in the parish of Plympton St Maurice, Devon, England. It is a Grade I listed country house, in the William and Mary tradition,[1] near St Maurice's Church in Plympton, commenced by Sir George Treby (1643–1700) and completed c. 1715 – 1720 by his son George Treby (c. 1684 – 1742). The architect is unknown although accounts in 1720 refer to William Veale, mason.[1] Its kitchen garden wall, southern boundary walls and gate piers and walls are Grade II listed.[2]
The house has had three main uses in its 300-year history: firstly a family home; secondly an asylum; and thirdly a convent and residential care home.[3] Having been disused for several years, in 2016 a new plan was announced to bring the estate back into regular use with a sensitive redevelopment plan, creating a community of 14 homes across the site.[4]
