Stepping into this home is like entering a contemporary art gallery. This comes as little surprise when you consider that the owner is the visionary behind many of Paul McCartney’s personal residences and headquarters, as well as the designer of the fashion brand Biba’s flagship store. One of few detached homes in the coastal town of Deal, 4 George Street is a hidden gem, found only moments from the seafront. The open-plan kitchen/living room is lined with bright, eye-catching artwork, but the beauty of this home is its flexibility: whether you want to incorporate the self-contained ‘Artist’s House’ – which is currently used as a holiday rental – back into the main home, or keep the floorplan as is, the potential is endless.

This six-bedroom Grade II Listed villa is outstanding for many reasons – from the entertaining spaces and large private garden to the off-street electronic parking. It’s also the ideal home for anyone with an outstanding art collection. Running alongside the courtyard garden is a glazed walkway that acts as a perfect gallery space for those wanting to showcase their works. With sliding doors that open out onto the garden, this is the place for alfresco entertaining – with your collection as the backdrop.

A Grade II Listed home with all the period features you could want – as well as the wonderful surprise of an art studio. Sitting next to the farmhouse kitchen – with its AGA, timber beams and exposed brickwork – you’ll find a studio that looks out over the picturesque gardens. With its views to inspire creativity and the wonderful convenience of being in the main house, Logmore Farmhouse must be an artist’s dream.

This first floor duplex apartment has the period features that lend themselves so well to hanging artwork: soaring ceilings create large walls which means no piece is too big, and the floor-to-ceiling French doors flood the rooms with natural light. All which makes the space ideal for anyone wanting to enjoy their art in all its glory. The three-bedroom home is found on one of the most sought-after garden squares in South Kensington – with the V&A just around the corner.

Formerly the village rectory, Saltwood House is one of the finest homes in the area. The eight-bedroom property has wonderfully arty interiors. From showstopping wallpaper and bold colour palettes, to backlit shelves that are perfect for showcasing artifacts and crafts. Saltwood House also isn’t far from Folkestone’s Creative Quarter, a vibrant hub of arts and creativity.
