Maristow House is located in Devon, England, just north of Plymouth, on the River Tavy. It was built circa 1560 and rebuilt in the mid-18th century and further remodelled in the early 20th century. It was the residence of the Lopes family: they had links with the Great Western Railway. The house was ruined by fire after the Second World War, but was restored and converted into apartments in the late 1990s by Kit Martin.
