Saltram House Houses

Magnificent Georgian mansion with Adam interiors, gardens and park. Home to the Parker family for generations, Saltram is a remarkable survival of a George II mansion (modelled around a Tudor core).

It is complete with its original contents and set in an attractive landscape park. Robert Adam worked here on two occasions to create the magnificent state rooms.

There are exquisite plasterwork ceilings and four rooms are decorated with 18th-century Chinese wallpaper. The house contains fine period furniture, china and pictures, including many portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds and Angelica Kauffmann.

Recently opened rooms feature the Parker children's doll's house and hands-on 18th-century-inspired activities for children.

The superb 18th-century gardens contain an orangery, the Chapel Art Gallery and several follies, as well as beautiful shrubberies, imposing specimen trees and a newly restored border originally designed by Graham Stuart Thomas.
