Heathcote is a Neoclassical villa in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, completed in 1908 and designed by architect Edwin Lutyens with gardens by Gertrude Jekyll. The house marked Lutyens's first comprehensive exploration of Neoclassical style, establishing a template for his subsequent public commissions in Edwardian Baroque and his monumental work in New Delhi. English Heritage, which elevated the building to Grade I listed status in 2014, described it as pivotal in Lutyens's development and an "imaginative and inventive essay in Mannerism." The gardens are separately listed Grade II in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
