Man of straw’s advice
Tempting propositions
International awards
Tune in to see a Westcountry thatch expert in his Devon element. On Tuesday, October 14 at 3.45pm, “Thatched Home Inspector” Charles Chalcraft is appearing on BBC1’s Home Away from Home. He will be sharing his thatching skills with a couple from Kent. After a lesson in the historic British art, Charles takes the couple to nearby South Tawton for a walk around the village to see the medieval Church House, with its smoke-blackened thatch that has survived since 1490. A master thatcher, Charles has adapted this trade for the modern era, with awareness courses for surveyors and building professionals. You can read more on www.thatchedhomeinspector.co.uk.
Londoners love coming to the Westcountry – but this time, the Westcountry is coming to London, in a special property show near Marble Arch on Thursday, October 23. The Property Sharing Experts’ Westcountry Property Exhibition will showcase many of the region’s desirable properties to tempt buyers to leave the rat race and head West. Chairman Steve Moir said: “This region boasts some of the most spectacular rural and coastal scenery, and some of the most exquisite homes in the UK. Given that many Londoners work and have to find the time to travel in order to progress their online searches, it makes sense to take our properties directly to them.”
Cole Rayment & White has made the first round in the International Property Awards 2014-15. The Cornwall-based firm hopes to have the chance to represent the UK in the latter stages of the awards. Stuart Shield, president of the International Property Awards, said he was very proud to honour achievement among the UK’s real estate agencies and property consultants. He said: “People working in real estate often get a bad press and much of the time it’s unjustified. There are companies offering very high standards of professionalism and service.” The next round winners will be announced on October 24 at the Marriott Hotel, London.
Hot properties on the market this week Carwinion, nr Falmouth £25,000 a year
This gorgeous “Gent’s Res” near Falmouth is owned by the National Trust, which is inviting offers for a 20-year lease. Eightbedroom Carwinion needs some TLC, which may be why its price is less than many two-bedroom flats in London. Agents: Humberts, Truro 01872 278288 www.humberts.com

What does film director Steven Spielberg have in common with Elizabethan seafarer Sir Francis Drake? Give up? They both loved the beautiful South Devon village of Meavy. Steven Spielberg was so attracted to the valley area in south west Dartmoor that he filmed several scenes of his historic blockbuster film War Horse there (based on the novel by Michael Morpurgo). Spielberg stayed at Meavy’s Royal Oak Inn during filming. Sir Francis Drake, on the other hand, took shelter in Meavy Barton when the plague hit his home Buckland Abbey. Meavy Barton has just come on to the market for sale for £950,000 with John Colton. “This is a truly unspoilt Dartmoor
manor with a really special atmosphere,” said John. “It is set in enchanting gardens, with an orchard and river meadow incorporating 17th century Grade II listed stone barns. “This is one of those properties that has to be seen to be believed.” Originally a small Tudor manor house dating back to the 1500s, the Barton was originally known as the High House. It was greatly remodelled and enlarged in the 17th century, with an extensive range of outbuildings and became known as The Great House. Originally owned by the Strode family, it was incorporated into the Drake estate and remained in the family until 1942, when it was auctioned.
The house is rich in character features, from granite arches to rollmoulded doorways, an open well staircase, and chamfered fireplace. History lovers will by delighted with details such as the salting trough in the dining room and the cloam oven in the kitchen, while appreciating modern updates such as a four-oven Aga and other 21st century fixtures. There are up to six bedrooms and several fascinating outbuildings surrounding a former cobbled courtyard. These include a chapel or studio barn, granary, and church barn with Victorian additions. Meavy Barton is on the market with John Colton (01822 854 408, www.johncolton.com).
Lovely lemons Lemons Hill Farm in Hemyock in the Devon’s Blackdown Hills comes with a farmstead and guest cottage, three letting cottages, traditional barns, land, and stables. Close to the local school, it was sold to a local buyer with an expanding family.

Focusing on great views and character The barn complex comprising The Byres sits in the most enviable position in the village of Galmpton on the South Devon coast. High in a green valley, The Byres looks over rooftops of its neighbours and out toward the sea. Close to the popular sailing and holiday destination of Salcombe, this big network of barns has certainly got location, location, location. When it came up for sale in 1991, Charles “Fernley” Harris and his wife Geraldine knew they were on to a good thing. “We loved the views, and it had a great infrastructure. We knew we could do a lot with it,” said Fernley. He knows what he’s talking about: the family building firm, CF and GK Harris, has been going for more than 35 years, and “built half the houses in the village”. Sadly, Geraldine died eight years ago – but Fernley, together with assistance from his three sons, was determined to see the project through. “We wanted to develop the barns to a high standard,” said Fernley. “This wasn’t the sort of barn conversion where you just put plaster on the walls. We’ve done everything properly: re-building the walls to be cavity walls with insulation, floors with 125 millimetre insulation, good drainage, levelling, gravel, landscaping – the lot.” The Byres has several buildings. The main house has flexible accom-
Gillian Molesworth enjoys the views from a charming barn complex in South Devon modation to include a conservatory, living room, kitchen, three bedrooms (master with en-suite) and family bathroom. In addition, it also has a handsome self-contained annex comprising of a living room, kitchen, double bedroom and shower room. This would be a great option for a family member who needed his or her own space, or for staff accommodation. The Stables boasts luxury accommodation to include a sun room, a generous open-plan living space with kitchen and living room, utility room, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. This has been designed
About the area Galmpton: This hamlet is near the seaside village of Hope Cove, and about three miles from the beautiful sailing and tourism hotspot of Salcombe. Hope Cove has a range of amenities including a historic pub, family-owned restaurant, post office, and store. There are beautiful walks in the area on the South West Coastal Path. Schools: The nearest primary is Malborough with South Huish School in Malborough (Ofsted rating: Good). The nearest secondary is the well-regarded Kingsbridge Academy (Ofsted rating: Outstanding). Closest private schooling options are in Plymouth. Roads: This is a destination area of South Devon – you’re about 17 miles south of the A38 trunk road here. But, you couldn’t ask for a
nicer drive through the South Hams. Trains: The nearest stations are Totnes (21 miles) and Plymouth (24 miles). Days out: Go shopping at nearby Salcombe or Kingsbridge, a bustling market town with a busy high street offering great clothes, crafts, artwork, and local food. Walks: Many stunning walks right on your doorstep here, such as the coastal path leading to Bolt Tail and Bolt Head, with Thurlestone village and South Milton Sands in the other direction. Eat out: Your locals here are the Hope & Anchor Inn and The Harbour Lights restaurant in Hope Cove. In Salcombe, get a great burger in the Island Street Bar and Grill, or try Salcombe Hotel for upscale dining with water views.

Great views and high-quality workmanship are among the outstanding features at The Byres and used successfully for holiday accommodation. The Byres also has a further terrace of barns, consisting of three stone barn conversions, each with its own private outside space. Each of these units has an open-plan living room and kitchen with doors on to a private garden, a double bedroom, and shower room. These units could also be used as holiday lets, or let out as residential accommodation. A further detached barn has two more ready-to-let holiday units. Outside are lawn areas landscaped with mature shrubs, a tidy drive and parking areas, and a detached garage. “It does have a significant income potential,” said Fernley. “You could do a lot of different things with it – run a holiday-let business, let the whole lot out, live in it and let some of it out – it’s very flexible and would suit lots of different people or types of lifestyle. It’s a very good investment property. “The great thing is, it’s ready to go and hassle free, just waiting for someone to take it up.” Although Fernley has massively updated the farm complex, he was careful to preserve the barns’ rustic charm. The stonework has been expertly re-built, and detailed with brickwork around windows and doors.
The Byres, Galmpton, near Salcombe, £2.2 million
The roofs are natural slate and tile, improved by modern additions such as skylights and in one unit, solar panels. There are also character features such as rustic oak beams. These blend well with modern features such as light wood kitchen units and glassedged oven hood, and the many glass
doors, which allow light and warmth to stream into the properties. In the main house, the natural stone is echoed in travertine tiles on the floors and walls. “I think what we liked most about it when we bought it was the views,” said Fernley. “It’s got great views and you’re right next to some wonderful
walks, but it’s still private.” Is Fernley moving on to downsize to a smaller property? “Well no, not really...I like a project,” he said.

Jurassic coast is dream location So far 2014 has seen a buoyant market in West Dorset, and this trend is continuing into the autumn. By far the most active sector of the market is properties over £500,000 situated in the coastal strip running along the Jurassic Coast from Abbotsbury to Lyme Regis. The majority of buyers for this area come from London and the South East, seeing it as a little bit of heaven, yet accessible to London. The new hourly train service from Axminster to Waterloo has made a huge difference and means buyers in their late 40s, who have worked in London until now, and are thinking of changing their life/work balance in favour of being by the sea. They can travel up to the city when required but raise their families in West Dorset, making the most of the excellent schooling in the area. These buyers are looking to purchase the farmhouse-style proper-
Chris McCaughey of Stags looks at the factors bringing buyers to West Dorset ties in the hills surrounding the coast, or properties with a sea view, which lend themselves to further development. The other main demographic of buyers is those looking to retire to the area. These buyers are often selling at a higher level and so they are not only cash purchasers but ones who are willing and able to pay a premium to
own their dream retirement home. Contact Stags, Bridport, on 01308 428000 or visit www.stags.co.uk

Converting a barn? You may be luckier in Devon than Cornwall More than 70 farming businesses and individuals gathered in Cornwall to hear the latest agricultural updates from a trio of local firms, and find out more about a new process for applying for prior approval for barn conversions. The “Planning for the Future” seminar was organised by Stephens Scown, Francis Clark and Smiths Gore, and it took place this month at Griggs Restaurant in St Austell. One hot topic highlighted by the seminar was the way that local councils are interpreting the new permitted development rights for the conversion of agricultural buildings. Recent data shows that in Cornwall Council’s area, 6% of applications have been approved, compared with 50% by West Devon Borough Council and some 35.5% by Torridge District Council. “The permitted development rights are part of national legislation, however, there appears to be an inconsistency in the way they are being applied,” said Chris Tofts from Stephens Scown. “This is clearly challen-
ging for landowners and developers, and many good developments are being stalled while applicants consider if they should appeal.
“I would expect a number of appeals to be lodged over the coming months which could result in a burden to the public purse – if a
decision is proved to be unreasonable, the appellant will be entitled to apply for his or her costs against the council.
“The intention of this legislation is to allow disused agricultural buildings to come back into use, to boost local builders and tradespeople, provide new income for farmers and landowners and help tackle the housing shortage problem. “It is disappointing that in some areas excellent proposals are being declined in what amounts to a postcode lottery.” Gareth Rowe, of Smiths Gore, said: “While the new permitted development rules are not straightforward and are open to interpretation, they do provide more opportunities for farmers and landowners to use under-utilised farm buildings. “Careful thought needs to be given to the preparation of applications, but there has probably never been a better time to look at converting barns to provide much needed homes in the countryside.” Brian Harvey from Francis Clark said: “The new regulations present valuable opportunities to farmers, but they should remember to take advice over tax implications before committing to any major project.”

24 holiday homes Homes with holiday letting potential selected by Melanie Cassidy of Helpful Holidays Fallapit Estate, East Allington, South Hams, £230,000 to £285,000
Unique and chic Gillian Molesworth explores some of the Westcountry’s more unusual holiday cottages Any Grand Designs fan will know that you can make a comfortable home out of the most unusual structures: shipping containers, churches, water towers, or factories. Building conversions also make great holiday homes. What better way to add spice to your holiday than a rental you can tell anecdotes about later? The Westcountry has its fair share of conversions and other unusual properties on the holiday market. Here’s our choice of the best: The Watch Tower, Pendeen, West Cornwall
This small development of properties is within a private parkland estate with gardens and lake with a viewing terrace. It is close to the beaches, moors, Totnes and Kingsbridge. I anticipate potential incomes from £14,100 to £23,200 over a 25 to 35 week season. Agents: Chartsedge, Exeter, 01392 832446, www.chartsedge.co.uk
28 Shoreside, Shaldon, Devon, £550,000
Just 100 yards from the Pendeen lighthouse with spectacular views out to sea, the Old Watch Tower was built in the 1800s as a vantage point for sentries to watch the shipping traffic, and look out for trouble. It has recently been spruced up and made into a comfortable home – an adventurous spot for families with children. Pendeen village has a church, two good food pubs, restaurant and shop. Excellent walking from the doorstep on the coastal path; Geevor Mine museum is close by, as is St Ives and the Minack Theatre. The Old Police Station, Appledore, North Devon
With views of the Teign, this smart new three-bedroomed cottage is within a stone’s throw of the river, beach, and village centre, with more beaches, shopping and restaurants. I anticipate it could achieve around £16,500 to £18,200 over a 30 to 35 week season. Agents: Fulfords, Shaldon, 01626 259395, www.fulfords.co.uk
6 Little Lane, Kingsand, Cornwall, £289,950
You can pretend you’ve been put bang to rights in this unusual holiday let dating back to 1732, which once served the village of Appledore as a police station and jail. The owners have preserved many of its quirky features, including the old prison cells (now bedrooms), complete with original bars on the windows. It’s also close to the quay, shops, restaurant, and pubs in this historic place at the mouth of the Taw and Torridge estuary. In the area you can enjoy the beach at Instow or Westward Ho!, or go fishing or cycling on the nearby Tarka Trail.
The Old Music Room, Aveton Gifford, South Hams This Grade II listed former music room once hosted concerts and recitals in centuries past. It has been converted into a wonderfully romantic holiday let with a vaulted stucco ceiling, and four massive arched windows with stained glass borders along the length of its long room. Add in a woodburner, comfy sofa, and a TV/DVD, and you’ve got the makings of a lovely staycation. There’s a piano if you want to make your own music – or an ipod dock if to enjoy someone else’s. Aveton Gifford is a pretty village with pub, post office and shop beside the river Avon, near excellent beaches at Bigbury, Bantham, and Thurlestone. Southerton Tower, near Ottery St Mary, East Devon Two stylish and interesting properties have been created here, one from a barn and the other from a 19th century water tower in the grounds of the owner’s house. The best part has to be a splendid double bedroom in the tower, with beautiful views across the valley. Ottery St Mary is a small market town with a sports centre, pubs, and restaurants beside the river Otter. It is five miles from the pretty coastal town of Sidmouth and 12 from the cathedral city of Exeter. The Sandridge Boathouse, Stoke Gabriel, South Devon This former 18th century bathing/ boathouse is in one of the most romantic settings in the Westcountry, on the banks of the Dart between Stoke Garbriel and Dittisham. It can only be approached on foot – except on arrival and departure, when you will be taken by 4x4 vehicle. Sit on the covered balcony to enjoy the bird life and the delicious solitude. Stoke Gab-
riel has three pubs, shops, and a medieval church. All of the above properties are available to hire through Helpful Holidays (www.helpfulholidays.co.uk, 01647 434071).

In the heart of the former fishing village of Kingsand and just around the corner from the beach, this Grade II listed cottage has a pretty garden and rooftop views to Cawsand Fort and Penlee Woods. I anticipate it could achieve around £10,900 to £13,500 over a 25 to 35 week season. Agents: Marchand Petit, Millbrook, 01752 829000, www.marchandpetit.co.uk The estimated income figures above are net of agency fees and VAT, but not running costs.

Ask the experts Your holiday let questions answered Q. We are relocating and considering renting out our cottage as a holiday let as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a popular South Hams village. Will we still need to pay council tax? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; HJ, Torcross A. Gaby Wakley, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: Your cottage sounds as if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a suitable location for holidays and could generate good bookings, especially if it has a sea view or is close to the Coast Path. If you intend letting it via an agency and for more than 140 days (which is a requirement of Furnished Holiday Letting status), then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be liable for payment of business rates levied by your local authority, rather than council tax. Business rates are calculated on the rateable value of the property and there will be information on your local councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. A reputable accountant should be able to advise on your specific financial situation.
Q. I am sometimes asked by holidaymakers to view my house before booking, usually during a changeover which is inconvenient. Do you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unreasonable to refuse? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; RT, Glastonbury A. Gill Nicholls, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:

SATURDAY OCTOBER 11 2014
Preparing a holiday home from top to bottom within five hours requires a well coordinated changeover routine, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandable youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reluctant to have it interrupted. However, in the face of fierce competition and a demanding paying public, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth considering the pros and cons of refusing. By complying with the request thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong probability you will gain a booking and possibly a loyal customer who will return and recommend your house to others. Refusing the request may give the impression you are inhospitable and unsolicitous about your guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comfort. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that such a visitor might have specific needs for their family; if they book without ascertaining the suitability of your house they could be unhappy, resulting in negative feedback or reviews which will diminish the appeal of your property to other customers in future. Choose a time which would be most convenient to you, perhaps towards the end of your changeover routine when the property is
looking its best, and offer that as an opportunity for viewing. Allow a specified period of time and be friendly but businesslike, discouraging the viewer from lingering by explaining that the new guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arrival is imminent.
Q.Would you advise us to hire linen or to provide our own and use a laundry service? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AM, Helston A. Katie Treseder, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: If you supply your own linen you will need three sets of good quality linen for each bed and three sets of towels per guest, which will require replacing every 12 to 18 months (depending on your level of bookings). Supplying your own linen gives you the option of selecting your own colour and design, although plain quality cotton is quite acceptable. When providing your own itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wise to avoid buttons or poppers which over time can become brittle or melt due to the heat of commercial roller irons. Open-ended duvet covers are preferable. There are benefits of using a linen hire service, such as saving on the initial outlay of purchasing linen sets and avoiding having to store it. You may well also save on the laundry costs, as it can be cheaper to hire linen than it is to have your own laundered. White Cloud Laundry Services Ltd (whitecloudlaundry.co.uk) supplies 100% Egyptian cotton percale linen and a choice of bath sheets in either 500 and 600gsm. The service includes collection and delivery, the fresh linen charmingly wrapped in brown paper with a piece of cotton voile soaked in essential lavender oil.

After a glorious summer at home pottering around his garden in Ireland, green-fingered TV presenter Diarmuid Gavin is now preparing his beds for the cooler months. “Things in my own garden are beginning to die back. I have some wisterias I’ve been training up a cast iron verandah and underneath that I will be ripping out some perennials that haven’t been happy in my garden, like a trochodendron, which has looked sickly and has black spots under the leaf.” He swears by the following tips for renewal and regeneration which will help your garden withstand the cooler months and ensure it is in good condition for the year ahead.
still in flower but also visit your local garden centre to see what’s coming into flower. “Some of the autumn sedums are fantastic and encourage butterflies, so you could drop in some spot colour before the frost comes. Dahlias such as Bishop of Llandaff with bright flowers and deep purple foliage look fantastic now so put them in pots in the border. “Some of the Japanese anemones also look fantastic and there’s plenty of scope for using spot colour in the garden. You don’t have to give up just yet. Even some of the exotic-looking cannas, such as Canna Tropicanna, are looking good now.”
THE LAWN
CLEAR UP LEAVES
“It’s time to get ready for renewal and the first thing to look at is the lawn, which has probably been battered by kids running all over it in the summer holidays. “A really good maintenance session, scarifying, aerating and topping up the roots of the grass plants with some autumn fertiliser will make a massive difference,” he says. “Really getting stuck in with a spring tine rake to remove all the thatch is an incredibly satisfying job. “For a couple of weeks, the lawn will look like you’ve demolished it, but later on, it will improve its condition. It’s all about toughening it up to get it ready for winter. Spiking it and aerating it really allows the oxygen to get right down to the roots, but also releases some of the other bad gases that may have built up. Be cruel to be kind.”
You’ll have to rake up fallen leaves or they will suffocate any plant life underneath them and provide shelter for pests. If you have lots of leaves and enough space and time, make leaf mould by putting your leaves into dustbin liners with air holes in them and leave them to rot down to make a great mulch. It does, however, take a year or so for the leaves to break down sufficiently to use.

HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS Tidy up herbaceous perennials that are flopping or have developed rust. In a month’s time, you can start to lift and divide perennials to renew their vigour and produce new plants. Out of one clump, you may get seven or eight smaller ones. Replant them, digging organic matter into the soil at the same time and they should give you a good show next year.
CHECK YOUR SOIL Autumn is a good time to check to see how your soil is doing. Prepare to do a big mulch and buy in some organic material.“Planning is key,” says Gavin. “If the garden has produced the goods for you this year – and for
Remember it is important to brush up the fallen leaves and also to check the condition of the soil
Gardeners’ diary This week in your garden: ● Keep collecting seed from perennials and alpines and watch out for any tree and shrub seeds you might want to save. ● When planting spring bulbs in pots, put plenty of drainage material in the bottom to stop them becoming waterlogged and add potting compost mixed with a handful of grit. ● Stop feeding permanent plants in containers. ● Watch out for the first autumnfruiting raspberries. They should be ready for eating.
● Divide and replant large clumps of perennial herbs ● Raise the cutting height on your lawnmower as the growth rate of the grass slows. ● Take pelargonium cuttings to overwinter indoors. ● Propagate new gooseberry bushes by taking hardwood cuttings from healthy plants before their leaves drop. ● Collect, clean and store away cane supports as plants go past their best. ● Detach all the layered side shoots of carnations which have rooted and then place them in a suitable new spot.
Out and about
Make the autumn season last longer by following Diarmuid Gavin’s gardening tips most people it’s been a really bountiful year – you want to condition the soil. See what will need to be mulched and enriched and order your manure to be delivered.” CONSIDER FENCING If your fencing has fallen down or broken, consider planting a hedge to
replace it in the autumn. “I’m planning to take out fencing panels and plant beech or a mixture of beech and holly hedges in a client’s garden in Sheffield. Get rid of non-descript shrubs like forsythias and if you want a hedge, prepare the soil now. Autumn and winter is a great time for this because you’re not battling slugs, the lawn isn’t growing at the
rate it was and you have time to invest in one or two big projects.” Diarmuid Gavin is Karcher’s Watering Ambassador. Find out more at www.karcher.co.uk

Diarmuid Gavin’s tips on bulbs “Bulbs have been in garden centres for the last eight weeks, and now it's worth thinking about a joined-up approach. Consider what you want to achieve with bulbs, whether it's pots around the front door, or in drifts in a lawn. You can coordinate planting with your lawn aeration, or when you’re tidying the beds and borders. “There's no point in buying a dozen daffodils and planting them in a row because they'll look terrible. You have
to plan and invest. Maybe buy a 5kg bag of daffodils and plant them in drifts rather than placing them one by one. Throw them on the ground and see where they land, which will give you the most naturalistic planting. Plant them at least twice their depth and give them a bit of feed if you want them to be vigorous. “The secret is, don't skimp on bulbs. The only place you can skimp is if you're just putting them in pots.”
