  • I note that the architectural style in the infobox says that it's Tudor-gothic, but wouldn't it be part of the Gothic revival architecture? I note that the location section states that it is "built in Tudor-gothic stone". Please ignore this if I'm wrong, as I'm not an expert!
    I believe that it's a Gothic Revival, due to the age, but the gothic style which is being revived is "Tudor-gothic". That said, I'm not an expert either. I trust the Gothic Revival sources, which are plentiful, so I've changed to the for consistency. WormTT(talk)
  • "On purchasing the land at Luscombe in 1797, Charles Hoare demolished the existing house" - do you think that this will start off better as Upon purchasing the land?
    Done. WormTT(talk)
  • "and commissioned John Nash and Humphrey Repton to design a new house" - would be good to say that these two are architects: and commissioned architects John Nash and Humphrey Repton to design a new house
    Done. WormTT(talk)
  • "The dining room held views across the valley, and the asymmetric rooms allowed for a panorama of views" - why is this in past tense? Is the dining room still there?
    I changed it to refer to the design which is in the past. Unfortunately, as the house is not open to the public, we have no way of knowing whether the dining room is still used as a dining room, same for the other rooms. WormTT(talk)
  • "however this practise had ended by 1902." - practice

  • "it's boundaries are formed by a ridge of high ground" - its
    Done. WormTT(talk)
  • "The boundaries of the estate cover approximately seven miles" - convert to metric too?
    Done. WormTT(talk)
  • "From there, a 400 metres (1,300 ft) drive" - no plural needed for describing a drive; "400 metre drive" sounds about right. Feel free to ignore this if you can't change it due to the template
    The template won't let unfortunately - I have changed to 400m drive for the time being, but that's not consistent with the rest of the article, so if you think I should reword then let me know.WormTT(talk)
  • "who was a pioneer for the Gothic Revival style" - link Gothic Revival architecture

  • "In his early drawings for the house, Repton suggest two sketches to Hoar" - suggested
    Done. WormTT(talk)
  • "Repton suggest two sketches to Hoare, one if a more standard house, one with the more natural design which would settle into the landscape" - either way, I would rephrase this to Repton suggested two sketches to Hoare; one of a more standard house, and the other with the more natural design which would settle into the landscape
    Done. WormTT(talk)
  • "Repton added shrubberies to the south west corner" - super minor, but this isn't hyphenated
    Hyphenated compass points throughout the article. WormTT(talk)
  • "with a stone ha-ha at the end" - I don't know what this is, can it be linked?
    It's linked on the section above (American Garden), would rather not over-link it. WormTT(talk)
  • "with a seating grotto in the north west corner" - this needs hyphenating too, for consistency
    Done. WormTT(talk)
  • No dead links

This article is looking great. I checked whatever sources that I could access and found no issues. Overall, this is comprehensive and well written! On hold until all are clarified. JAGUAR  18:50, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the positive comments Jaguar! WormTT(talk) 19:37, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for addressing all of them so quickly! With the issues out of the way, this should be good to go now. JAGUAR  21:27, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
