Grade 1 Stately Home Fire in Devon to Be Rebuilt


Another fire has struck....when fires happen, do they give any hidden messages that we can also to understand. Fires relate to destruction and whether deliberate, an accident or a freak of nature, this still creates change of what was before, and possibly making new again.


Sydenham House, a 17th century stately home in Devon has been left partially destroyed after being ravaged by a fire. As with another property on The Bishops Avenue, The roof and first floor have been affected and left in ruins. Nearly 100 firefighters were battling to save the Grade 1 listed home.


Fifteen fire crews attended, with nearly 100 firefighters battling to save the stately home set in 1,200 acres, using water pumped from the lake. They were forced to evacuate in case the entire building collapsed. An investigation was launched into the cause of the fire, which reported to have broken out in a first floor bedroom at around 4pm yesterday. Photo evidence demonstrates this.


Owner Graeme Hart bought the property and 1,200 acre estate in 1992. He reportedly first learned of the blaze when his secretary telephoned him to say his home was in flames. Fortunately the house was evacuated early when the alarm was raised,  also without any injuries.

Mr Hart, who was not at home at the time, returned home to witness flames coming through the roof. He is determined to restore the building to its former glory in the wake of the blaze, with no thought for cost. He said 'It has got to be rebuilt,' - 'It is a historic Grade I listed building.'

'The firefighters have come from all corners of Devon and Cornwall,' he said.


Graeme Hart is left to rebuild his home at a cost of £millions.

A spokesman for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said the glow from the flames would have been visible for miles around - as the roof and most of the first floor of the stately home near Launceston had been 'well alight'.


The house was built for the politician Sir Thomas Wise, who sat in the House of Commons in the 17th century. 

In looking, Graeme Hart has an unusually successful career, extending and including in the medical field. Other areas are interesting to learn about.

If this fire had not happened, we may not have known of the work Graeme Hart is involved in. 

This stately home is a Grade I listed building, therefore must maintain the theme of its original structure and design. This home might take a while to rebuild, being renewed to its glory.


In this house the roof and internal structure has been destroyed, as surgeons know the body can be rebuilt. Architects and engineers may both have a role in this restoration project.

It is not known if. there will be an investigation of the cause of the fire or whether the building will go ahead after the cost of how this will be fulfilled is ascertained.

A beautiful home in a tranquil setting...

This house will be given a new lease of life for future generations.
