Designed and built by North Devon born architect John Richards in the 18th Century, Dean Clarke House began life as a city hospital. The building was both the brain child and namesake of Dr A Clark, Dean of Exeter in 1874, who sadly did not live to see the building completed.

Constructed in two stages, the central and southern wings were built first, with the Northern wing adding balance to the building nearly six years later. It acquired ‘Royal status’ in 1899, following a visit from the Duke and Duchess of York,
and was newly named the Royal Devon and Exeter
Hospital.

Sadly the building was eventually abandoned and had become dilapidated – until Burrington Estates purchased it in December 2012. They began extensive renovations that took over 3 years to complete and restored the building to its former glory. Today, this prominent Grade II* Georgian property has been transformed into luxurious residential and business
accommodation, the latter of which has now come to market, offering a prime investment opportunity in a historic property within this prominent location.
