This unique private 100 acre historic coastal retreat has numerous gems, including its architecture, Capability Brown Gardens, rewilding project and contemporary sculpture park.

History hovering over the sea, surrounded by historic gardens and follies

The Robert Adam Orangery combines Mediterranean style sea vistas with its grand Romanesque architecture and a towering dome that acts almost like a lighthouse to the sea in front. A throwback to the ancient ship owners that once owned the place.

There are views to die for: Unfettered in the winter. Hazy in the summer.

The estate is on the edge of Exeter City with views over the Exe estuary and out to sea

An amazing place to meet and relax. A true escape from it all. Adventures and stories to be made. History at every corner in this Domesday Book place.

Relaxing with family, friends or colleagues

Films and episodes of TV shows are shot regularly here. You can book a film or photo shoot.

One of the last Capability Brown gardens in southwest England features here. Restored and rewilded. Cascade gardens flow with water and flora. Terraces overlook the sea.

Visit the Capability Brown Gardens

The vast cedar trees were planted by Capability Brown to frame the incredible views

The Art is everywhere. A shrine to contemporary and environmental open-air art. This private collection is becoming one of the wonders of the southwest.

Work complete with the amazing Robert Marshall MRSS

The rewilding project is celebrated.

The summer house is still a working studio. One that guests staying at the Robert Adam Orangery can enjoy.

The Lakehouse hovering over the Capability Brown lake is refreshing in the summer and cosy in winter (thanks to its underfloor heating!).
