Inside Blanche Vaughan’s Family Home in the English Countryside | Design Notes

Blanche Vaughan welcomes us into her hall house in Devon. Two big name decorators had already had a hand in its design before Blanche moved in: the late Robert Kime, assisted with the layout, furniture and lighting. Next came Camilla Guinness, who ‘cosied the place up,’ repainting the sitting room, adding bookcases, rehanging pictures and adding a new layer of fabrics, rugs and comfortable places to sit.
Alongside husband Hugo De Ferranti, Blanche has gently added her own taste to the mix and the house is a celebration of its setting, with spectacular views over Dartmoor, as well as a welcoming place to dine, stay and enjoy the moors. Watch the full episode of ‘Design Notes’ as we tour Blanche Vaughan’s family home with commanding views of Dartmoor’s craggy landscape.

Beautiful, absolutely BEAUTIFUL home. However, if I hear one more person say that something developed organically and authentically I am going to scream.

[@monteschiavo]

love all but specially your whippet

[@metislamestiza3708]

what a magnificent home. as a former pastry chef and current/forever foodie/cook, i'm in love with her kitchen, dining room and incredible garden. the mix of classic and contemporary art is really well curated and enviable. she and Hugo have immaculate taste. and that VIEW. i will be coming back here to wishfully drool all over my keyboard often.

[@marshhen]

Beautiful video. This is what I expect people should be doing if they are fabulously wealthy and well-connected. They should be living like this. At least this couple are making the most of their extraordinary good luck in this world.

[@claireangier3322]

Beautiful ... I knew straight away this is going to be one I keep looking back at, there's so much to digest! ❤

[@kermitthefrog3632]

More of this please!! Fabulous house and a very interesting lady! The English style at its best!

[@judyderieux8484]

How wonderful and special to be able to cook and live in such beautiful surroundings✨

[@terryarrow702]

An outstanding beautiful home. When Blanche walked out onto her balcony, the view was stunning. It doesn’t get any better than that.

[@SpanishEclectic]

Such a calm, lovely lifestyle, away from the bustle of a city. She is fortunate to be able to consult with experts to handles aspects of this charmed life. So many of us would love to 'have it all', but with some creativity and planning can carve a comfortable refuge with this vibe in the space that we have. Wonderful inspiration. Not being too fussy goes a long way.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

I loved every minute of this. Thanks so much to all who put this one together. Fascinating lives, breathtakingly lovely home.

[@cantocant2346]

I'm swooning over this home. The small bedrooms are exquisite.

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

Your home area facing a beautiful view is so incredible o have. 🌿🌿

[@swingingdaniel]

To me the perfect country house - just the absolute perfect balance between coziness and relaxed elegance. Beautilully decorated without the frequently whitnessed clutter of just too many cushions, fabrics, patterns and deco items. Bravo!

[@rodolfocoronel487]

I think this is my favourite tour of a house. Stunning!

[@Ericthegreat1483]

And know a lot of “names” who will “do” your walls and buy you art as a joke. Very pretty though…I agree.

This is my dream home. I have never seen something this close to my heart.

Beautiful family home such a pleasure to watch this vlog !

[@sandysmom100]

The English countryside is gorgeous !

[@kalidonnelly684]

This is absolutely spectacular! I love old English cottages and the modern mixed with the old is so beautiful. The garden is also amazing as well!👩🏻‍🌾🐝

[@stevemiller7949]

This just validates that America and Great Britain are separated by a common language. To be fair, we have a lot of decorators on this level, but I live in flyover country, so they rarely step foot where I live. Provincial American taste is rather undernourished. People of means are fixated on black house exteriors with minimal interiors. Always a relief to see "English" done with finesse.

[@MTMF.london]

Don't be so harsh on yourself. I've seen provincial English taste and it isn't that far off from provincial American. I must say though that to have access to people like Robert Kime or Camilla Guinness, you need to be quite comfortably off to start with.

[@katie8325]

@@MTMF.londonI think comfortably off is an understatement!

[@mollym3981]

I'm sorry to say it's way more than just language that separates Britain and America. Two completely different worlds.

May you enjoy it long and well, my dear. I love your outfit for the shoot, as well. As for the house: the colors, the textures, the old, the new - intoxicating. May it always be a place of warmth, welcome and peace.

Its a beautiful home, but can someone direct me to a video of someone who's done up a two up/ two down terrace house on a meagre budget AND is featured in home and garden or architectural digest video.

No. You’re looking in the wrong place.

Who dosent love a Kitchenaid?🥰

[@emilie658]

so beautiful,thank you for sharing

[@mignoncat1]

It’s rather all about the taste one is born with. Personal style cannot even be boiled down to old money versus new money . There’s a comfort & contentment, & dare I say “ daily ness” in a casually rarefied personal world .

[@PassiveAgressive319]

I love how she reels off these names in the art world like we know who they are! I wish I had more knowledge about these things……🙏

[@ChrisLovesThisGame]

I always wonder about people who like KitchenAid stand mixers when the bottom-drive Braun machines are so wildly superior in every possible way.

[@sarahbirdcage7814]

Anyone know where the colourful candles are from - lined up in the cupboard?

[@iLovepink22]

Does anyone know what type of candleholders are shown for those lovely beeswax candles ? Trying to find the right name to look up.

[@a.kaiser8965]

I mean when the British do it right, its good. I mean just a stunning house and environment. (some of the newer wealth in Britain need to look to the past a bit...)

[@johlhaver]

Ah the old "Better ingredients, better pizza" motto

[@delft72]

Love the style. Why all the name dropping? Kind of detracts from the video.

[@fitcrit]

Nice video but don't feel she dropped enough names

[@laurapearson3370]

Hugo must have serious coin

[@idreamtiwasbackatmanderley414]

Just watched this muted in order to concentrate on seeing. Several things are jarring : - birks & straw hat & donegal tweed jacket? - fire in the fireplace ? - huge flower arrangement on the middle of the dining table? - child profile cutout in child’s’ bedroom instead of parents’bedroom? Not overwhelmed with decorative choices regarding art, paint color and fabrics. Otherwise beautiful house and grounds. Special love for large quarry tiled floors and the venician ceiling veranda. And to conclude, I am flattered to learn that chopping different colored tomatoes & soft goat cheese & aromatic herbs & pepper from the mill, good olive oil plus fleur de sel is considered restaurant worthy since it’s only an assemblage of ingredients which I do all summer long.

[@nevilhade85]

Are you ok now?😂

[@jamesallison4875]

Hugo ‘let’ you hang your artwork? That’s disturbing.

[@googlebox]

Christ on a bike. She is unbearable.

[@fv1291]

No room for food on that table.

[@giuseppecapilli4914]

Who talks like that?

[@xxiipp]

This is a typical English council house?

[@MTMF.london]

It is a country house not a council house.

[@evep5689]

I kind of like some of these H and G videos but sometimes they come across as borderline parodies! All the name dropping, the way people speak with the most ridiculous choice of words, and the unrestrained display of wealth. It is meant to be a showcase for good taste but it ends up being quite distasteful unfortunately. I think when you are this lucky in life, it is better not to rub it in people’s nose.
