Photoshoots at The Plantation
Chulmleigh, Devon, UK
A sleek and modern barn conversion, this unique shoot location in North Devon is surrounded by blissful rural landscapes. With one acre of verdurous gardens and six acres of fields to play with, along with clean lines and a swimming pool inside, photographers and stylists will feel right at home, whatever the brief.
Overview
A contemporary shoot location near Chulmleigh in North Devon, right between Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks, The Plantation is a modern home with pitched ceilings, a floating staircase and enormous windows looking out onto rural North Devon from serene bedrooms. Outside, the wood-clad exterior fuses modern architecture with the natural world, a formal pond mirrors the lap pool through the glass and 1200 newly planted trees form the beginnings of a fledgling woodland and orchard. A rustic thatched outhouse, a pillared barn which once housed farm machinery and contemporary flourishes at every turn within the property ensure this is the perfect location for styled shoots of any means; from product launches to bridal shoots.
Spaces
Bright and spacious is the name of the game inside The Plantation, where floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open plan living area and bedrooms with golden Devon sunshine. More subtle corners hide within the shoot location’s walls, and from a muted teal snug with pool table to standalone bathtubs overlooking the patchwork countryside, there is certainly no lacking in inspirational backdrops. Outside, a firepit offers opportunity for cosy winter-themed shoots and various patios showcase the property’s neat angles compared to the irregular patterns of the surrounding farmland. With a herb garden, water feature and several perfect lawns, there’s no doubt that the right spot for filming, photography and magazine cover shoots can be found at The Plantation.
