Entire home in Loftus, United Kingdom
The space
Artist House is a thoughtfully curated holiday home jam packed with artwork and inspiration. Set over two floors, the house showcases work by the property owner, Diana Scarborough, who is a national and international artist-engineer. With strong connections to the area, you’ll find original one-of-a kind prints and photographs on display throughout the property. Designed and decorated as an artspace and gallery, all artwork is for sale and changes seasonally.LIVING AREA
On the ground floor, you’ll find an open plan living and dining area. Striking in appearance, the living area features a bold, blue feature wall and a contemporary driftwood sculpture by a local Redcar artist in the fireplace. The ideal place to relax after a day of exploring the local area, you can kick back on one of the sofas and switch on the Smart TV to keep up with your favourite shows. If you’d rather unwind in peace, there is a curated bookcase of art and travel themed books, as well as walking maps.
DINING AREA
The dining area features contemporary seating with a white table and matching chairs. A yellow statement wall brightens the space and the selected artwork has been chosen with the overall interior design to create a chilled zone. The french doors open out into an enclosed yard area.
KITCHEN
To the right, you’ll find the fully equipped kitchen. The modern space features handmade Mexican tiles, yellow glass splashbacks and high-end appliances. You’ll have everything you could need for your self-catering staycation as the kitchen has all necessary utensils and cookware so you can prepare meals easily throughout your stay.
There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor featuring a clean, cool look with white and turquoise tiles and mini succulents.
BEDROOM
Head upstairs and you’ll find three spacious bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The master bedroom has a light blue and gold colour theme to create a truly relaxing space. The comfy double bed boasts premium bed linens and plush bedding so you can enjoy your nights sleep at Artist House. Artworks featured include Skinningrove photographs, and lithograph and triptych etching inspired by ancient messages. An oak dressing table, wardrobe and a curved mirror complete the space.
Along the hallway, you’ll find the second bedroom. This space features a double bed, upcycled bedside cabinets, a wardrobe and artwork inspired by text and analogue radio technology. You can wake up to views of clear skies towards Carlin Howe so you can start your day with the calm you need.
The third bedroom is known as the ‘writers room’. This cosy nook is home to a comfy single bed, original prints and a vintage telephone table. With a warm colour palette of burnt oranges, there is a snug and homely feel.

siamo una famiglia di 5 persone, abbiamo apprezzato gli spazi ampi dedicati ai momenti di relax, la presenza della lavatrice e di una cucina completamente attrezzata, il parcheggio è direttamente davanti alla porta d'ingresso.
il piccolo paesino è vicino a molti posti di interesse turistico, bisogna essere muniti di automobile per raggiungerli facilmente.

Artist house was very well kitted out, especially the kitchen which had loads of utensils and plenty of crockery. The beds were really comfortable and the entire property was clean and bright. Also, the artwork was great and made the place feel a bit special. Loftus village centre is a nice place but parts of it are a bit run down. However, artist house looks out at the countryside so the view is really pretty. It’s a very quiet area too, so you can get a good nights sleep. The only downside for us was that the main sofa in the sitting room is very uncomfortable indeed and I notice that this has been mentioned in other reviews. Apart from that, we had a great time at Artist house.

Didn’t release the yard was that small, pictures might be an idea.
A cockral started at 4:15am (which can’t be helped by host)
Parking was a problem when we arrived as there was no space along the street. Had to quickly unload car then park at leisure centre. But apart from them couple of things the house was great & had a lovely stay.
