Oare House is a Grade I listed house in Oare, Wiltshire, England.[1]
It was built in 1740 for a London wine merchant, Henry Deacon.[1] It was largely remodelled in the early 1920s by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis, for Sir Geoffrey Fry, 1st Baronet, private secretary to Bonar Law and Stanley Baldwin.[1] Its gardens, which include a summerhouse also designed by Williams-Ellis,[2] are listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[3] To the west of the gardens stands the Oare Pavilion, completed in 2003 and the only British building designed by I. M. Pei.[4]
It is owned by Sir Henry Keswick.[5][6]
