A La Ronde, Exmouth

Acquisition of a unique 16-sided historic house completed in c.1796. The house contains many 18th-century objects and collections brought back by the Parminsters from their grand tour of Europe. The fascinating interior decoration includes a feather frieze and a shell-encrusted gallery which, due to its fragility, must be viewed on closed-circuit television. The house is set in approximately 10.5 acres of pasture.
