Around The Agents

THE team at David Wilson ● Homes North West is calling on Merseyside residents to part

with their unwanted teddies and furry friends in aid of local charity the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust (Caft).

The Warrington-based housebuilder will be collecting child-friendly cuddly toys at its 15 developments across the region, as part of its Teddy Bear Amnesty campaign.

Graham Swann, managing director at David Wilson Homes North West, says: “Caft is a wonderful charity, so we are delighted to be able to offer them our support.

“We have already collected lots of great teddies, but we would like to encourage everyone to have a root around at home and donate any of their soft toys which are no longer needed, as the children at Caft are waiting to give them a loving home.”

Alistair Laing, charity relationship manager at Caft, adds: “At Caft we rely on the assistance of the local community, so we would like to thank David Wilson Homes North West and all those who have already donated a toy.

“We have no doubt that all of these new residents on our farm will prove very popular among the children.”

Liverpool residents can drop off their new – or as good as new – teddies at the St John’s Place development on Westminster Road in Kirkdale.

Caft helps terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children in the North West.

Based around a beautiful 17th century farmhouse in Millington in the heart of Cheshire countryside, the charity offers free adventure breaks and activities but it costs in excess of £700,000 a year to run and receives no statutory funding.

Caft’s Teddy Bear Amnesty is part of David Wilson Homes North West’s Our Space, Your Place initiative which offers funding and help to community groups in the north west.

NEW City Visions managing director Don Craven has handed over the keys of the first

FUR PLAY: David Wilson Homes North West has launched a charity appeal six homes in the third phase of its Ellergreen development.

Cobalt Housing’s Alan Rogers and Cy Powell accepted the keys and the development ploughs on – a further 20 homes are to be completed for Cobalt Housing in late summer in the £3m scheme part funded by the Homes and Communities Agency.

Cllr Joe Anderson was there to witness the handover, saying: “It is very satisfying to see the delivery of good quality, affordable housing.

The area formally known as the Boot Estate is being transformed into a new and highly desirable residential community.

“The quality and space in the homes is really impressive and the energy efficient heating system will mean that the homes are economical to run, an important consideration with the rising costs we are all facing.”

The new homes incorporate highly efficient air source heat pumps for their heating and hot water.

The technology converts ambient air temperature in to heating and delivers lower running costs with a 30-50% saving in CO2 emissions when compared to traditional boilers.

Alan Rogers of Cobalt says: “We are pleased that the redevelopment of the Boot Estate is another

success story for the Norris Green area.”

And Don Craven adds: “ The shortage of supply of new homes was highlighted in February when the government figures confirmed that completions of new homes in England hit an all-time low in 2010.

“The handover of these and later homes to Cobalt Housing is good news for Liverpool and good news for Norris Green. New City Vision is bucking the trend and delivering more new homes to meet the demand.”

New City Vision is also offering a choice of two, three and four bed homes with the governmentbacked HomeBuy Direct, shared equity, scheme. People who qualify for the scheme could own a new home for just 70% of the cost now.

AFTER a successful beginning ● to the year, Venmore will be starting spring with their next auction on April 6.

The auction at 1pm at the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool One will have a mixture of lots, including residential and commercial properties and many development opportunities for landlords and investors.

One of the commercial lots is a former restaurant and bar in Hoylake. The property is situated in a prominent position on Market Street in a parade of mixed retail and licensed premises. It has two floors suitable for a licensed or retail project, and also has a two/three bedroom maisonette requiring refurbishment; it has a guide price of £115,000.

Nick Ball, head of Venmore Auctions believes this auction will bring in a lot of attention due to the breadth of properties.

He says: “We know that certain properties in St Helens will attract a lot of competitive bidding in this auction, one of which is a three bedroom mid-terrace which is £50,000 below other properties currently marketed on the same street and also a studio flat which holds a guide price of just £21,000 – these we know will be ones to look out for.”

A modern home with period elegance

by JANET TANSLEY

CLASSIC STYLE: The property features a bright and airy bedroom, a feature staircase, left, and a spacious drawing room, below

K

EPPIE Massie reckon they have for sale “the most amazing Georgian Quarter property to come onto the market in recent years”.

And after looking at it, there are few who would doubt them.

After a programme of complete refurbishment, the imposing Georgian townhouse on the corner of Mount Street and Hope Street, with stunning views of The College of Art, Lipa and Blackburne House, is for sale at £715,000.

Tastefully furnished and decorated to the highest standard, the accommodation comprises an imposing entrance hall, drawing room and dining room to the ground floor, a fantastic kitchen and den area, four bedrooms, a wet room and many of the original features of this Grade II listed home.

The entrance hall has a Victorian tiled floor, an elegant staircase leading to the first and second floors and a second staircase to the lower ground floor.

The drawing room, with three Georgian sash windows to Mount and Hope Street, is a bright and airy room with solid wood floors and a marble fireplace and hearth with an inset coal effect fire.

Double doors open into the dining room which, again, has solid wood floors and Georgian sash windows to the front. This stunning room also has a feature fireplace with a marble hearth and surround with an inset coal effect fire.

The ceiling has inset lighting and decorative cornicing and there is a mezzanine leading to the ground floor cloakroom with toilet and wash basin.

There is a feature staircase to the lower floor.

The kitchen has white gloss units with contrasting black granite worktops, an integral dishwasher, hob, oven, grill, microwave and curved extractor hood.

Built-in extra features include a wine rack and

chrome style shuttered cupboards.

Next to the kitchen is an ideal family room, creating a cosy atmosphere. It has the original 1930s cast iron fireplace with two Georgian sash windows at street level and one transom window.

There is also a lower ground floor cloakroom.

To the first floor is a large double bedroom and vestibule with built-in cupboards; and it

leads to the en suite with its claw foot bath with telephone style mixer taps as the central feature, an Adelphi pedestal wash hand basin and toilet with shaped cistern in white. In keeping with the period feel is a reproduction Victorian radiator with chrome heated towel rail.

More attractive still is the wet room with steps up to a double shower, a mosaic tiled floor and wall tiling.

The suite is in white with a chrome heated towel rail and a vanity basin inset in a tiled unit with feature lighting.

The second bedroom on this floor has three large Georgian sash windows to Hope Street and Mount Street and features solid wood floors.

On the second floor, a further double bedroom has a walk-in dressing room attached and offers very elegant accommodation. There is also a double shower with a curved screen, washbasin and toilet.

The fourth bedroom has a built-in wardrobe.

Outside is a compact but charming sun area which is flagged on two levels.

I

Pauline Daniels Where was the family home you grew up in and what was it like?

My earliest house memory was of 31 Fairfax Road in Birkenhead. I lived there from the age of two to 13 with my mum, dad and nan. We had a corner shop and all the women used to sit on their steps and have a good gossip. The kids played without any worries and every now and then there would be the odd cat fight, just like Coronation Street!

What is your clearest memory of the house?

I remember trying to make a fire and there was so much smoke in the house I opened the window. The sash broke and the window smashed. I thought I was being helpful...

Where was the first house you bought yourself and what did it cost?

My first house was in Moreton and it cost £9,000.

What made you want to buy it?

We bought it because we couldn't get a mortgage on a house that wasn't new.

What are the most important features you look for when buying a house?

It has to feel just right when you walk through the door. That's always been the way I've chosen houses. Where I live now is a prime example.We were just in the hall; hadn't even walked into a room, but we knew it was going to be home.

Are you a DIY trier or do you leave it to the experts?

I'm useless at DIY. I let those that know "do".

What's the one thing you love most about your house?

I live where I live because I can see the best waterfront in the world from my window, Liverpool. It takes me 10 minutes to be in the centre of one of the most vibrant cities in the work. So I suppose it's location, location, location.

F YOU’RE looking for home decorating ideas this year, simply rustle through your wardrobe.

Chances are you’ve already picked up on some of the most fashionable looks and colours – whether that’s colour blocking, blues, sorbet shades or florals – and those trends are being echoed in our rooms.

These days, where those couture catwalks lead, homes will surely follow, but there’s no need to slavishly reflect those new looks.

Simply be inspired by the latest looks, then decorate and furnish to suit your personality, lifestyle and purse.

Home design experts from leading high street stores forecast the trends and share their tips on creating the latest looks for rooms.

BOLD & BRIGHT

Colour will banish the dull days of winter, used in dramatic splashes in florals and abstract patterns, says Sue Roberts, head of home design at House of Fraser.

“We’re tired of doom and gloom and are looking for a more positive outlook and rediscovering our sense of humour,” she says.

“That’s making us all more creative and there’s a real trend for bold brights or blocks of colour which add fun into our homes” GET THE LOOK: Layering is a great way to freshen a room without breaking the bank, Sue advises. “Use throws and rugs, as well as fabrics, for blinds, curtains or upholstery echoing your theme.

“If too much pattern makes you nervous, experiment by featuring it on cushions and bedding, and introduce more colour on table settings.”

BEST BUYS: Libby Floral bedlinen, duvet cover from £50; colourful Bamboo lacquered stool, £40; designer Kenneth Cole’s Madison bed linen, a duvet cover from £40, featuring colour on a grey background.

GO OVERBOARD

Get shipshape with coastal chic or bring the outdoors in with florals, says Sally Bendelow, head of home design at Marks & Spencer.

“There’s a desire to make a statement in rooms with key pieces which don’t break the bank but have impact,” she says.

“It’s easy to pick up on trends with cushions and other accessories such as lighting.

Take a tip from the stylists who use one ’hero’ piece to create impact.”

ADDED SPARKS: Penrose sofa, £499; Whitley love seat, £499; Fashion vintage print curtains, from £49.50; Fashion vintage rug, from £59 and cushions from £15, Marks & Spencer GET THE LOOK: “Make it smart and chic by contrasting whites with deep blues and having painted furniture, or opt for a more ’beach hut’ look with natural wood, bleached cottons and soft blue accessories,” she advises.

“An easy way to adopt this style is with blue and white bedding.”

BEST BUYS: Club chair in Melitta blue stripe, £649. An extra large Task floor lamp, in polished nickel-plated steel, £199, and a Sailing Stripe bedlinen set, from £39.50.

INDUSTRIAL CHIC

Functional furniture, vintage style and a strong neutral palette combine in the up-and-coming

trend for “industrial” style, says Claire Hornby, creative stylist for Barker & Stonehouse.

“The industrial chic look links in nicely with the recent trend for period pieces and early 20th century styling.

“Industrial doesn’t have to mean shiny chrome and minimalism, the new way to do this chic style is all about rustic and timeless.”

GET THE LOOK: This works by mixing natural materials, so combine distressed leather with rustic wooden pieces for a practical but sophisticated result.

“Soften this look with cushions in complimentary fabrics and

DIAMOND EASER: Heal's Diamond easy chair in turquoise velvet, £895

colours,” says Claire. “But if you accessorise, ensure pieces are functional with nothing purely decorative on display.”

BEST BUYS: Earlston Opio rustic dining table, £1,245, in bleached old pine with natural grain and knots; Benjamin chest, £1,645, and Hugo desk, £1,185.

SORBET STYLE

Be inspired by soft pastels and stripes for a summer look, says Suzanne Beechey, homeware buying manager at Bhs. “There’s a trend for soft, sorbet shades and an effortless easy-to-live-with approach which conjures a cool, serene and sophisticated setting.”

GET THE LOOK: “Take inspiration from Miami summer nights,” advises Suzanne.

“Decorate and accessorise with soft pinks, muted lilacs and mint greens which pair well with contemporary furniture in soft greys and chalky whites. ” BEST BUYS: Hot buys from Bhs are the Sorbet buttoned sofa, £999, and Sorbet striped bedding, from £22.50.

How to... strip wallpaper ● REMOVING wallpaper is often hard work, but it needn’t be a chore ● There are various methods for stripping wallpaper but by far the easiest is a wallpaper steam stripper, which you can hire or buy inexpensively. If you’ve got a lot of wallpaper to strip, it makes sense to buy one. They are similar to big kettles and it’s easy to get scalded by the steam or drips of boiling water, so use with care and try to keep the hose straight because it can twist off, leaving steam streaming out dangerously. ● To operate one, simply hold the steam plate to the wall and wait for the steam to loosen the wallpaper.

Keep testing to see if the paper is loose because you can damage the plaster underneath if you hold the plate on for too long. For speed, hold the plate to the wall with one hand and scrape where you’ve already steamed with the other hand. ● Some wallpapers have more than one layer, or you’ll find layers of

Ask The Expert

different papers, in which case it’s often easier to remove one layer at a time.

The steam will penetrate better if you score the wallpaper first, especially if it’s thick, but you may leave score lines in the plaster, which is no good if you’re not replastering or repapering, so do a tester patch first. ● The best paper stripping knives have long metal handles and replaceable blades, which screw in place. The only problem is that these blades are really sharp when new and can damage plaster if the wallpaper’s thin or you’re not careful when scraping.

If you’re worried about this, traditional scrapers with non-replaceable, triangular blades are less sharp. ● Clear up scrapings as you go along because once dry, they set hard and can stick like glue to floors and other surfaces. After stripping, you’ll need to scrub and scrape the walls with sugar-soap solution and then clean water to get rid of any leftover paste and scraps of paper.

Use your inner space

ROOM TO LIVE: Extending and improving your kitchen or a loft conversion gives you more living space and adds value to your home

W

ITH money tight, many of us are deciding to improve our own homes.

It can be a way of providing that extra space to avoid the need to move.

Or it can make a house seem much more attractive should you put it on the market – and it always pays to stand out from the crowd!

So we asked TV presenter and architect George Clarke for some easy ways to add value to your house without breaking the bank.

And he’s come up with solutions to suit all tastes – and budgets. ● Loft conversion: This is one of the most cost-effective ways to add space – especially if you turn it into an extra bedroom and bathroom.

Bear in mind that you need to have at least 2.3m of headroom, and think about where you will put all the stuff you’ve been storing up there. It’s probably better to use a specialist loft conversion company

DEVELOPER Seddon Homes is urging buyers to adjust their price expectations in line with the housing market.

The firm’s sales and marketing director, Denis Maddock, says that too often owners are under the misapprehension that their properties are worth as much now as two years ago, before the start of the recession.

“The market has realigned and the price of new properties has changed accordingly,” says Denis, “but too many customers come to us expecting to get a part-exchange deal based on the value of their current home

by JANET TANSLEY rather than a general builder.

The most basic conversion starts at £7,000, but the price can run well into five figures. This could add between £20,000 and £50,000 to the property’s value. ● Improve or extend the kitchen: Open-plan kitchen/diner/family rooms still remain popular, and the bigger the better. Building an extension should be easier thanks to changes in the rules, allowing you to extend terraces and semis by 3m and detached properties by 4m without planning permission.

Never compromise on the quality of your appliances. If money is tight then go for good quality appliances and compromise with affordable units. You can leave the space as it is and spend your money on an expensive kitchen. Or, you can spend a large amount making the space work (removing walls, adding

an extension and reconfiguring the layout) and buy a cheaper kitchen with whatever is left. I would do the latter; get the space right first and go for a cheaper kitchen. You can always upgrade later.

It will cost about £15,000 for a small extension, plus the cost of units and appliances. Get advice from an estate agent on the added value. ● Install an en suite bathroom: If you have three or more bedrooms, people these days expect more than one bathroom. The best option is to squeeze an en suite into the master bedroom, leaving the original as the “family” bathroom. This could mean shaving a bit off your bedroom or pinching a bit of the landing.

Costs start at £2,000.

The National

George Clarke

Association of Estate Agents says a second bathroom or en suite can add up to 5% to your home’s value. ● Appliances : Upgrading your plumbing and electrical systems will always add value to your home and sensible ecological design technology will too. ● First appearances: Giving the front door and woodwork a fresh coat of paint will make a big difference and won’t cost much. It will make you feel better about your home and, when you come to sell, should impress potential buyers. Avoid pinks, oranges and purples, as they’re too personal a choice. ● Landscape the garden: Your outdoor space should be an extension of your living room, which means glass sliding doors or French windows

leading to paving or decking with nice furniture. It can easily run to thousands so plan well. Plants are pricey and so are designers; save money by hiring a student on a garden design course.

But, warns George: “Ideas are one thing, putting them in to practise is another.

“I would encourage people to have a go at redesigning their home but if it’s a big scale project or you lack the necessary experience, employ a professional. Don’t kid yourself that you can do it if you have no experience of it.”

If you do opt to get a professional, find a well-established and highly recommended builder, and get a fixed price before work begins. ● George will be joined by

celebrities and experts at Grand Designs Live London, running from Saturday, April 30 – Sunday, May 8, at ExCeL London. Book online at www.granddesignslive.com or call the 0844 209 7349.

Be realistic about the value of your home two or three years ago.

“They are happy to pay a realistic market price for the new property, but not to accept that they will likewise realise less than in the past for the house they are selling.”

Those who accept the new market conditions are able to proceed more quickly.

“But for every buyer with realistic expectations, there is another who doesn’t accept the market change,” he adds.

“These are the people who find

that they are still trying to sell their property 12 months later, because their asking price is too high.

“The adjustment that has taken place has been radical and unprecedented but most experts are suggesting we have scraped the bottom of the market and movement is upward, not downward now.”

Another issue stalling the market, he adds, is that too few sellers recognise the difference between a market appraisal and

a valuation of their home.

“A market appraisal is the price at which an estate agent will suggest a property is advertised for sale. It may be higher than the sum the agent thinks the house will eventually sell for. A valuation is the true value of the property usually completed by a chartered surveyor using RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) “Estate agents, after all, run a business. Understandably they

want instructions from sellers.

An element of ego massaging goes on. If they detect a seller is not in a rush to move, then their price recommendation may be higher, to win the instruction, than it would be for a client who needs a fast sale.

“So sellers seeking part exchange should be aware that any part-exchange offer is based on the realistic achievement value of the house, not its market appraisal.”

Owl’s well that ends well for derelict pub site COSMOPOLITAN Housing Association has started work on its new scheme in Egerton, Skelmersdale – its first development in the area.

Formerly home to a derelict pub, The Owl & Pussycat, which had been empty since 2009, the site will have nine threebedroom homes for affordable rent, with completion due in October.

The properties on Egerton Road have achieved Code 4 for sustainable homes, and will feature prefabricated timber

frames; highly insulated walls, floors and roof; roof mounted sunpipes and photo-voltaic panels; water butts and rainwater harvesting and wildflower gardens.

The development’s cost of about £1m is being supported by grant funding from the Homes & Communities Agency, with the remainder of the costs being met by Cosmopolitan.

Architects Denovo Design, who are working with Cosmopolitan on the development, have enlisted the

help of pupils from Hillside Community Primary School, which is adjacent to the site.

Years Three and Six were given the chance to have an input into the garden and building design, to help create wider public awareness of the project.

The response of the pupils has been so enthusiastic that they are now planning a health and safety project around the build of the development as it progresses.

Kristene Karaski, regeneration

officer with Cosmopolitan, says: “We are very excited about this development, particularly with it being our first in the Skelmersdale area.

“There is a significant waiting list in this area for housing and these properties will go towards helping to ease that.”

She adds: “It’s fantastic to see the local school and pupils taking such an interest in the design and building process too and we’re looking forward to more input from them over the coming months.”

POPULAR: The canal in Litherland was built during the Industrial Revolution (main picture), street scene in Litherland (top inset) and, below inset, aerial shot of Seaforth docks

T

HE village of Seaforth has a proud maritime past and is situated on the edge of the River Mersey, in between Waterloo and Litherland.

Its name is thought to have originated from the Old Norse words of ‘sæ-fjord’ which means ‘sea inlet.’

Today, it is most famous for its docks which opened in 1972 and have become the largest docks on the Mersey.

The docks are part of the Port of Liverpool and Liverpool Freeport.

Once part of Lancashire, Seaforth is now within the borough of Sefton and is a great place to find affordable housing.

The area mainly consists of Victorian terraces which have recently sold at prices ranging from £40,000 to

£75,000. Meanwhile, semidetached properties in Seaforth have recently sold for between £125,000 and £179,950.

Seaforth has excellent transport links with access to the A565 and A5036 plus regular Merseyrail trains run from Seaforth and Litherland station on the Liverpool to Southport Northern Line.

Seaforth is also a great place to spot birds and wildlife.

Situated at the north end of the Liverpool/Bootle docks, Seaforth Nature Reserve has freshwater and saltwater pools and acts as a magnet to migrant birds. You can spot redshank, turnstone, cormorants and terns, as well as passing hawks and falcons.

Moving inland, we come to

AFFORDABLE: Seaforth has a range of housing

the neighbouring town of Litherland which takes its name from the original Norse title of 'Liderlant' which means ‘sloping land.’

This former Viking settlement saw the construction of canals during the Industrial Revolution which linked it to Liverpool, Wigan and Leeds and helped it to prosper.

The town boasts a number of landmark buildings, such as St Thomas' church and Seaforth House, the building of which was influenced by Prime Minister William Gladstone who stayed in the town during the 1800s.

Litherland Town Hall was a favourite haunt of The Beatles who played some of their early gigs there.

The town is also home to Litherland Sports Park, one of the best sporting facilities in the region, which has an athletics track, cycle circuit, synthetic turf pitches, fitness studio and much more and is used by both the local residents and athletes.

Property-wise, you’ll again find an abundance of terraced houses in Litherland, examples of which recently sold for £59,000, up to £140,000.

Meanwhile, you could buy a one bedroomed flat here for around £50,000.

So if you’re looking to move home, take a stroll around Seaforth and Litherland to see what these great areas have to offer.

Hannah Stephenson looks at the pick of the crop of gifts to give your gardening mum a Mother’s Day present to remember

F

LORISTS may be busy in the run-up to Mother’s Day, but with a little thought you can buy your mum a present which will last much longer than a bouquet.

Garden centres, nurseries and online retailers are awash with Mother’s Day gifts, from soft-handled secateurs to pretty kneeling cushions, pampering hand creams and muscle-relaxing bath salts, plus a host of ornaments to remind her of you.

Even those on the tightest budget can bag a gift which will give pleasure for years to come. Pop into Poundland and pick up a shrub or fruit bush for just a quid, ranging from roses and escallonias to blueberries and potentillas.

There’s still time to sow some seeds, but if you want to give them as a gift, The Balcony Gardener has a range of beautifully packaged seeds including chilli, spring onion, basil, chives, mint, carrots and others, which come in lovely packets. They can all be grown in window boxes, pots or large containers on the smallest of areas (£3.25 a packet, www.thebalcony gardener.com, 020 7431 5553).

Keen vegetable growers may want to extend their repertoire to more unusual veg, so why not buy your mother something she hasn’t grown before, such as mushrooms?

You can buy a white button mushroom kit which has everything you need to grow them

CRATE EXPECTATIONS: Apple crate planter, main pic, mushroom growing kit, inset left, and Tisaniere, inset top (£5.99, www.greenfingers.com, 0845 345 0728) Create that wow factor by filling a handsome willow planter with trailing flowers within an elegant stand. It makes a fabulous free-standing addition to a patio or creates a focal point in bed or border (£42.99, Lakeland, www.lakeland.co.uk, 01539 488 100).

If your mum loves clipping hedges or creating perfectly shaped balls or pyramids out of evergreen shrubs, soft pink topiary and trimming shears from Burgon &

Ball give her a stylish way to do it.

Hand forged in Sheffield with soft pink handles, they come in an attractive co-ordinating gift box (£19.95, Burgon & Ball, www.burgonandball.com).

Perhaps a cup of tea is required after a heavy day in the garden, so her ideal gift would be a stylish Tisaniere tea set and lemon verbena plant, which will form the ingredient for a delicious herbal tea.

As well as the tea pot and lemon verbena plant, the gift set comes

with a packet of mint seeds – which when grown can also make a zesty herb tea – a metal plant label and instructions on how to grow the seeds, as well as a booklet that contains other herb tea recipes (£24.99, www.crocus.co.uk).

Instead of a throwaway bouquet, why not spoil your mum with something that she can enjoy year in, year out? Buy something original like an almond tree, one of a range available from Focus DIY (£19.99, Focus DIY stores nationwide, or visit

www.focusdiy.co.uk) As day turns to night, create a romantic or relaxing mood with some new porcelain solar lamps with a leafy pattern, ideal on tables at elegant parties or relaxed patio get-togethers (£14.99 each, Lakeland, www.lakeland.co.uk or call 01539 488 100) For a more personalised gift, have a special message put on to a wooden apple crate planter which can be used for planting up bright and cheerful blooms or simply used as a novelty hamper for other gifts

Best Of The Bunch Euphorbia (spurge)

Things to do this week

THE flowers of these hardy shrubs may be insignificant, but their bracts, ranging from acid yellow to deep orange and bronze, more than make up for them.

They are a very diverse group which includes succulents and poinsettia and you can find types suitable for almost any setting, from a gravel garden to a big border.

Most prefer sun but will tolerate partial shade and they will grow in most soils but don’t like being waterlogged.

They self-seed freely so beware them spreading too rapidly, especially on light soils. Among the most common is E characias “Wulfenii”, a large, rounded bush with greyish-green leaves, with globe-shaped heads adorned with small yellow-green flowers which appear from early spring. It’s ideal for the back of a border, as it can grow to 1.2m (4ft).

A much smaller type, the evergreen E myrsinites, is better for rock gardens, as it grows to just 10cm (4in) tall, its stems topped with clusters of yellow-green flowers which turn a greyish-pink.

Other good varieties include E palustrus, a larger type which is weather tolerant and produces fresh green foliage before lime green bracts appear. Bigger types do well as stand-alone plants by a wall, but also combine well with silvery or bluish foliage.

● Continue to prepare seedbeds outside, weather permitting, using planks to stand on if the soil you are working on is very wet. ● Weed borders and mulch bare soil with organic matter or other material to stop them emerging again. ● Plant containers with hardy plants including small trees, shrubs and climbers. ● Cut vigorous climbers such as ivy, winter-flowering jasmine and honeysuckle back hard. ● Lift and divide overgrown clumps of summer-flowering herbaceous perennials, just as growth gets under way. ● Split primulas after flowering, as the flowers go over. ● Place stakes in the ground to support perennials which will soon be emerging. ● Cut down growth left after winter to make way for new

shoots, dressing the soil with a fertiliser so it’s ready for a layer of mulch. ● Plant out early varieties of potato, once they have been chitted. ● Plant comfrey in a bright, sunny corner of the kitchen garden. The leaves make a great addition to the compost heap, or may be spread over the soil around crops as a mulch. ● Sow salad leaves little and often for a continuation of crops to harvest through the summer. ● Continue to take cuttings from the new shoots of chrysanthemums which have been overwintered in the greenhouse. ● Pick off dead flowerheads of winter and spring bedding plants. ● Once potted bulbs grown inside are past their best, plant them outside and give them a liquid feed.

Grow Your Own Broad beans BROAD beans sown in March and then at monthly intervals to the end of May should provide you with beans throughout the summer, to eat raw or cooked, in casseroles or as a simple accompaniment to meat and fish dishes.

They are among the easiest beans to grow, although they do need a sunny, sheltered spot, but are less fussy about the soil than

peas or runner beans, and it’s wise to add organic matter to the soil the previous autumn.

Sow the seeds in double rows 5cm deep and 20cm apart in spring, setting up stakes which will be needed to support the plants as they grow.

Hoe regularly to keep down weeds and pinch out the top 10cm of stem when the first beans start to form,

to prompt an earlier harvest.

Begin picking when the first pods are 5-8cm long and cook them whole. Pick pods for shelling only when the beans have begun to show through the pod, but don’t leave them to become the optimum size or they will be tough. Good longpod varieties include the white Aquadulce Claudia and Red Epicure, which has a distinctive flavour.

STARTER FOR FUN: Seeds from The Balcony Gardener, above, pink shears from Burgon & Ball, right, and Crabtree & Evelyn Luxe Gardener’s Tin, below

or a storage solution for indoors (£39.99, www.gettingpersonal.co.uk).

If you want to pamper your mother and give her something practical at the same time, splash out on the Luxe Gardener’s Tin from Crabtree & Evelyn, which includes tools, gloves and a sturdy tin to keep your bits and bobs in, as well as luxurious handcare products to restore skin after a satisfying day of digging in the dirt (Crabtree & Evelyn, £32, www.crabtree-evelyn.co.uk, stockists 0800 111 4406).

3 ways to ... Use trees in garden design

1

Use small trees to provide height in mixed borders containing shrubs and herbaceous perennials.

HIGH HOPES: Lakeland’s attractive willow planter

2

Use trees as screens, to provide shelter and create divisions between properties. They allow room for interesting plants to be grown beneath, an area a conventional hedge would fill.

3

Consider timescale, how long the tree will take to grow and how big it will get. A very slow-growing specimen may take 30 years to make an impact and if you’re only going to live there for a few years, it won’t have done its job.

of the Week

On the Market ●

PRICES of smaller terraced houses are falling, because fewer first-time buyers can get a mortgage, while the value of detached homes is rising because buyers have more money and there is a shortage of supply in some areas, says a new survey.

According to Rightmove, the average asking price for a terraced home dipped from £180,030 in March 2010 to £177,422 today.

Prices have fallen each month this year even though 31% fewer homes are going on sale at this bottom end of the market compared with the peak of the boom in 2007.

Rightmove director Miles Shipside said: “The target audience of first-time buyers for terraced houses are stuck in rented accommodation, with 30% of them in our recent survey expecting to stay there for three years or more.

“Yield-hungry buy-to-let investors or buyers with gifted deposits are the main hopes for a terraced home seller.”

By contrast, prices of detached houses are slowly rising, from £229,600 in March 2010 to nearly £232,000 today.

COOKING GOOD: The house has a well fitted kitchen, above, and bedrooms with original coving

Well placed to sell with true classic touches

WIRRAL auction ● house Smith & Sons says sales reached nearly

£2m at its first auction of the year.

There were 29 lots offered for sale at the auction this month at the Village hotel in Bromborough, with homes in need of refurbishment and repair attracting the most interest.

The sale had a 76% success rate overall. Houses and bungalows in Heswall, Wallasey and Moreton were sold above their guide prices.

Chris Johnson, auctioneer at Smith & Sons, says: “There is clearly an upsurge in demand once again for good investment buys from builders, developers and landlords.

“We have faced a cautious and uncertain market during the past two years.

“However, this auction does reflect a wider positive shift across the general property market.”

Smith & Sons is now taking entries for its auction on April 19.

L

STEP IN STYLE: The hallway has stripped pine flooring and attractive original plaster work

OCATION, location, location... the three words bandied about most of all when it comes to buying or selling a property.

And there are few areas more attractive than this in Aigburth – near St Michael’s Station and the ever-thriving Lark Lane.

Add to that a spacious and lovingly restored property at a superb price and I reckon would-be buyers will be having to form an orderly queue.

For sale with Davis Beyga Estates, this four bedroomed terrace in Colebrooke Road, is for sale at £175,000.

The accommodation comprises two reception rooms, a kitchen diner, four bedrooms

by JANET TANSLEY

and a family bathroom.

The property has retained a wealth of original features to compliment the modern additions of gas central heating and double glazing, all of which combine to make it a home worth viewing.

The lounge at the front of the property has a large bay window. There is a wooden-surround fireplace with a cast iron and tiled inset with living flame gas fire.

The room also has the original stripped wood flooring and a coved and panelled ceiling.

The kitchen is fitted with a

selection of wall and base units with worktops, a single drainer inset sink with mixer tap, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and fridge – all of which are included in the sale.

Upstairs, the master bedroom has a bay window to the front, overlooking Turners Field, and a coved ceiling.

Bedroom three is also at the front and bedrooms two and four at the rear.

The bathroom has a panelled bath with mixer tap, an over-the-bath shower unit, a wash basin, toilet and part white tiled walls.

It’s a great family home for a great price. ● For further details contact

ORE and more homeowners in Liverpool are taking advantage of current market conditions to move to a larger, better quality home while side-stepping the problem of finding a buyer for their existing property, according to David Wilson Homes North West.

The North West’s leading housebuilder says levels of interest in its part-exchange service are at a new high because of difficulties homeowners experience when they try to sell their own home in the current market.

“We’ve been offering a partexchange service for 30 years but we’ve never had so many prospective buyers looking to make use of it,” said Steve Jackson, sales director at David Wilson Homes North West.

Through its part-exchange exchange service, David Wilson Homes North West could buy your home at an independently valued, fair market price and help you move in as little as a month.

You could buy and sell in one easy go and side-step most of the hassle and cost usually associated with selling your property.

Barratt Manchester’s celebrated Head Start scheme is specifically designed for homebuyers who want

to get on the housing ladder as soon as possible but don’t have the large deposit required by some lenders.

The remaining 15% is covered by an equity loan by Barratt and doesn’t have to be repaid for 10

years or if your home is sold, whichever comes sooner. ● For further information on the availability at Chandlers Walk, telephone 0161 872 0161 or Nikki Smith on 07707 207 002.

could buy your home at an independently valued, fair market price, so you don’t need to pay an estate agent. We will arrange for two valuations of the existing property and then make an offer based on these. We are effectively a cash buyer, so there is no chain to worry about.

“There are no uncertainties over

dates or last-minute haggling, and you can stay in your present place until your new home is ready. We take care of everything.”

For added peace of mind buyers can also benefit from David Wilson Homes North West’s exclusive fiveyear guarantee on fixtures and fittings in their new home at the time of purchase.

Part-exchange is available on selected plots at David Wilson Homes North West’s Ascot Gardens development in Widnes, which offers a range of four and five bedroom homes.
