Limewash alternatives for medieval hall house
A Grade 2 listed north Devon home has
been given a contemporary look thanks
to its redecoration with Earthborn paints.
The late medieval hall house features
particularly ornate plasterwork.
Owner Simon Clarke said: “The house is

Ideal for stone, brick, concrete, render or

Claypaint is a unique, clay based emulsion
that covers exceptionally well and gives a
distinctive, ultra matt finish. It contains no
oils or acrylics, so is virtually VOC free and
highly breathable. It’s Ecolabel approved
and available in 72 standard shades.
