For some, the opportunity to live in the former home of a painter whose work is widely celebrated and admired is a chance to discover the environment that inspired their works and connect to the property’s fascinating past.
But a house doesn’t have to have belonged to a well-known artist to reflect the inspiration behind their sketches – one set in the glorious landscapes that captured their eye can be just as special.
So too can a house which comes complete with a dedicated artist’s studio, particularly for those whose most treasured pastime is spent with brush in hand.
From the Chelsea home of artist Arthur Croft Mitchell and a Scottish hideaway with its very own studio through to a house in the heart of Constable Country and a Grade II* listed Bath property complete with fresco painted by former owner and renowned artist Thomas Barker, below is a selection of homes with artistic appeal.
