Maristow House in the parish of Bickleigh (formerly Tamerton Foliot),[1] Devon, England, is a large country house set in landscaped parkland, on the River Tavy to the north of Plymouth. It was built in about 1560, rebuilt in the mid-18th century and further remodelled in the early 20th century. Between 1798 and 1938 it was the residence of the Lopes family, Barons Roborough. The house was ruined by fire after World War II, but was restored and converted into apartments in the late 1990s by Kit Martin.[2][3][4] It is a grade II* listed building, having been so designated on 29 March 1960.[5]
