The bathroom tiles in the #Arts&Crafts house at Coleton Fishacre are by #EdwardBawden

They are a whimsical take on life for the wealthy in the 1920s. The house itself was completed in 1927.

Mute #ColetonFishacre if you’ve had enough 😂

The valley garden is steep & with its own microclimate as is often the case along the South Devon & Cornish coast

Such low baths!

But the house had central heating & the radiators still work

The strange thing..growing up in the 70s with elderly relatives I seem to remember such bedspreads, such dressing table bits

The kitchen

My aunt remembers her aunt using such a mangle…

I especially liked the servants’ room where they would eat their meals & “relax” (though for the time they were well-treated apparently)

There are 2 bathrooms & a loo along the corridor but each room had a sink & “toilette”

On my last day in #Brixham for this trip, today I walked from Kingswear back to Brixham with a stop-off for lunch at @nationaltrust.org.uk #ColetonFishacre (where the flower borders are looking fabulous). & then wrapped things up with a last swim from Breakwater Beach; too many jellyfish for me tho’

A gentleman’s room

The family had a tidal pool down at Pudcombe Cove. I think @chrisworthing.bsky.social would suit the woollen bathing suit

I walked down down down the valley past tree ferns & bamboo (as per) to the SW coastal path: below is Pudcombe Cove but it’s *very* steep

And up, up, up above a massive eucalyptus

A very lovely place. I’d hate to drive there in summer/school hols😏

House first. Built by the D’Oyley-Cartes’ - designed by Oswald Milne, a student of Lutyens.

I *loved* & felt Hercule Poirot might appear at any moment…

The privacy money could buy you….

Coleton Fishacre is a 1920s country house in Devon, owned by the National Trust. The house was originally the retreat of the D'Oyly Carte family, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. #ColetonFishacre #NationalTrust #wessexattractions
