Watermouth, Devon: The Residential Masterpiece of Joseph Davie Bassett This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, produced by F.W.L. Stockdale from an illustration by Rudolph Ackermann in 1825, offers a captivating glimpse into the grandeur of Watermouth, Devon, the esteemed seat of Joseph Davie Bassett. Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Hackwood Park in Basingstoke, this Regency-era stately home stands as a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the aristocracy and landed gentry during the early 19th century. Designed by the renowned architect Thomas Orde Pownall, Bolton, and enhanced by the landscaping genius of Lewis Wyatt and Charles Bridgeman, Watermouth Castle boasts an enchanting blend of architectural grandeur and romantic scenery. The eastern terrace, visible in this engraving, offers a breathtaking view of the house, framed by the lush greenery of the gardens. The imposing structure is adorned with an ionic portico, while a stately king George statue stands proudly atop the building. The gardens, filled with intricate topiary, winding paths, and serene water features, add to the overall charm of the estate. This engraving not only showcases the architectural brilliance of the time but also offers a glimpse into the lifestyle and tastes of the wealthy elite during the Regency period. With its harmonious blend of architecture, landscape, and artistry, Watermouth, Devon, remains a fascinating reminder of a bygone era.
