History ''Loscume'' is an estate mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, not as a separate entry, but as an estate mentioned within the entry for the manor of Dartington. Dartington is listed in the Domesday Book as ''Dertrintone'', the 15th of the 17 Devonshire holdings of William de Falaise, feudal baron of Stogursey, Somerset, one of the Devon Domesday Book tenants-in-chief of King William the Conqueror. Luscombe comprised one furlong of land within the manor of Dartington and was held from William of Falaise by his tenant ''Ansketel''. Luscombe was later the seat of the Luscombe (originally ''de Luscombe'') family from before the 16th century to shortly before 1810. As was usual, the family had taken their surname from their seat. Shortly before 1810 it was sold by the Luscombe family to Walter Palk (1742-1819), MP for Ashburton (1796-1811), who had purchased the manor of Rattery together with severa ...

Nash and Repton came up with an asymmetrical designed building made from Portland stone, with castellated parapets, turrets and pinnacles to create the feel of a picturesque castle. Nash's designs for the house included a three-storey octagonal tower, with two wings coming off it and a second square tower above a porte-cochère. Inside the drawing room occupied the ground floor of the tower, with a sitting room above. The dining room was designed to hold views across the valley, and the asymmetric rooms allowed for a panorama of views. To allow easy access to the gardens, the servant's quarters were moved to a separate wing, but made to be less prominent. A chapel was added i ...
