News House builder’s fete

Property of the Week A rare opportunity to buy near sought-after Dartmoor village P10-11

Residents and homebuyers from across Devon flocked to The Harringtons in Exeter to enjoy a fete held by house builder Redrow.

The family fun day included fun fair stalls, face painting and bouncy castle, while Redrow’s mascots Buster and Buddy also put in an appearance.

Redrow also invited visitors to the event to take a look around the development’s two, three and fourbedroom properties, which were decked with bunting.

Emma Solman, area sales manager for Redrow, said: “It’s really nice to be able to bring together the community in this way.

The event was a real success and it was great to welcome so many local families and homebuyers to The Harringtons and show them around.”

Life of luxury for sales director Sam

Redevelopment opportunity

Luxury lodge developer Charteroak Estates has welcomed Sam Weller as its sales director.

Sam was previously sales director for the Cornwall Hotel Spa and Estate and before that, sales director at The Beach, Carlyon Bay. In his new role, he will be responsible for overseeing the development of Charteroak’s portfolio of luxury lodge developments throughout Cornwall, Devon and Dorset.

This includes the Stonerush Lakes resort near Fowey and the company’s newest development, Southern Halt, built on the former Dobwalls Adventure Park near Liskeard.

Charteroak Estates managing director, Edward Rowlandson, said: “Sam has substantial experience in the holiday property industry across all avenues of sales, lettings and the second home market.”

A redevelopment site in Sidmouth is coming to the market as a result of East Devon District Council’s decision to relocate to new offices. The site, known as the Knowle, has been home to the council’s headquarters since the 1970s.

The 4.76 acre site has a draft allocation for 50 homes in the emerging East Devon Local Plan and the council expects to have vacated the site by May, 2017. The council is also disposing of its nearby 1.3 acre Manstone Depot site, which comes with a draft allocation for 20 dwellings. It is expected to become vacant by the end of 2015.

The sites are being offered for sale by informal tender and the deadline for submission of offers is October 22.

All viewings are through sole selling agent, Savills. For further information contact Nick Jones on 01392 455712 or Mark Chugg on 01392 455 715.

National housing charity, Chapter 1, is celebrating its first Devon property to be brought back into use, as part of its Empty Homes Programme.

Dave Tranckle, above left, from Nevada Construction handed Chapter 1’s chief executive, Geoff Hawkins the keys to the former office building in Kingsteignton’s Newton Road, which had lain empty for a decade but has now been converted into four flats.

The redevelopment scheme was undertaken in partnership with partnership with Teignbridge

District Council and the apartments will be will be let at affordable rents

by Chapter 1 to local people who need a home.

The Empty Homes project scheme is supported by funding from the Homes and Communities Agency, to bring thousands of properties across England back into use.

Mr Hawkins, said: “Every home we make available, makes someone’s life better.”

Teignbridge is now working on developing this scheme elsewhere in the district, while Chapter 1 will has committed to invest over £5 million

in empty homes schemes, the majority across the South West.

It leases the property for a minimum five years from the owner, but retains the full rent until the total project costs are fully recovered.

At the end of the lease period, the owner gets back a property which is in good order.

Chapter 1 worked with a number of contractors to renovate 10 Newton Road including G2 Empty Homes (project management), quantity surveyor NP Williams, building contractor Nevada Construction and architect Paul Chapple.

Growing interest in vegetables A proper vegetable patch had always been the dream of the retired couple who moved back to Devon from Somerset, after falling in love with Candys Orchard in Otterton, East Devon.

10 property of the week

Dartmoor home has plenty of potential It’s rare to find a property with so much potential, in such a desirable position. But Lower Sanduck really is a very special place indeed.

Small wonder, then, that this substantial Dartmoor home with 15 acres of land, near the sought-after village of Lustleigh, has been owned by the same family for 30 years.

“My grandparents lived here,” explains the vendor. “Then for some time it has been jointly owned by my mother and myself.

“We’re sad to be selling it and moving on but the time has come to say goodbye. It’s a wonderful place and we know the new owners will be very happy here.”

Lower Sanduck is just over a mile from the centre of Lustleigh, on the gentler eastern slopes of Dartmoor. It is believed to have originally been a classic Devon longhouse, but many years ago it was divided into two separate cottages, each with two bedrooms.

“In recent years my mother has rented out one of the cottages as a holiday let,” explains the vendor.

“It is always very popular, as people love to come here for the peace and the lovely surroundings.

“You can sit on the terrace outside with a glass of wine and listen to the birdsong. It’s so quiet and secluded.”

The two cottages have lots of original features, such as granite hearths and fireplaces, original beams and, of course, the thatched roof. One of the cottages – the one that is a holiday let – has been modernised, the other needs updating and refurbishment.

“The opportunities here are fant-

Becky Sheaves finds a substanial Dartmoor home with 15 acres of land astic,” says the vendor. “You could live in one half and rent out the other, or you could reunite the whole house and make it into a really fantastic family home.”

Outside, too, there is so much potential. Lower Sanduck comes with a farmyard, four stables, barns and outbuildings, as well as a substantial field shelter and 15 acres of land.

The current owners keep six horses here and the equestrian possibilities are very exciting. “You can ride up and out of here on to Dartmoor,” says the vendor. “There is also lots of scope for running a smallholding. In years gone by my family kept cattle and goats here.”

Access to the property is via its own private drive and the seclusion Lower Sanduck offers is second to

About the area Mapstone Hill: on the edge of Lustleigh, which is a pretty village on the edge of Dartmoor, near Bovey Tracey and Moretonhampstead.

Shopping: Ashburton has excellent independent and quirky shops, while Moretonhampstead and Bovey Tracey offer useful everyday shopping.

Connections: The A38 is 20 minutes to the south, linking to Plymouth and Exeter, while the A30 is 20 minutes to the north at Whiddon Down. The main railway line to London can be reached at Newton Abbot, Totnes or Exeter.

Schools: South Dartmoor

Community College is the nearest state secondary school, and is good with outstanding features, according to Ofsted. There is a pre-school but no primary in Lustleigh, but Bovey Tracey Primary School is “good”, says Ofsted.

Pubs: The Cleave in Lustleigh is a 15th century thatched pub, familyrun with a good reputation for food and real ale. The Ring Of Bells in North Bovey is another beautiful, traditional pub with great food for you to enjoy.

Eating out: Primrose Tearooms in Lustleigh is the perfect place to go for a cream tea or homemade cakes.

Properties like Lower Sanduck, with six stables, outbuildings and barns, plus 15 acres of land rarely come on to the market none. “You have so much privacy here – turn the music up, have parties, you cannot disturb anyone,” says the vendor.

It stands in the Mapstone area of Lustleigh, and although it is a very private, rural dwelling the lively village community is within easy reach, with its traditional pub, church and tearooms. Wider access, too, is on offer both from the A38 and the A30: “Both these main roads are a 20 minute drive away,” says the vendor.

The lifestyle in this area is delightful, with a wonderful pub, The Cleave, in Lustleigh serving excellent food.

Another renowned pub, The Ring of Bells, is to be found ten minutes away in North Bovey which is a chocolate-box village with traditional thatched houses around a village green.

All in all, this is an exciting proposition as properties like this one very rarely come on to the market.

Bulbs will brighten Experience spanning many years of growing has taught me the importance of planning ahead. As summer moves swiftly into the autumn season I am already thinking about how I expect my garden to look next spring.

The garden centre shelves are currently well stocked with springflowering bulbs and tempting offers.

Needless to say I have already made several purchases.

For me, spring-flowering bulbs are as diverse as they are versatile. There are so many different species and cultivars of crocus, iris, tulips, narcissi and alliums (to name but a few) that are very easy and rewarding to grow.

Bulbs can be planted in so many areas of the garden. They will brighten bare patches under deciduous trees and shrubs or look good planted in pots or hanging baskets with winter-flowering pansies and mini cyclamen. A few bulbs can be planted in the smallest space. They can be grouped with each other or combined with other plants such as evergreens or herbaceous perennials as part of a longer-term display; bulbs can be planted in neat arrangements or in naturalised looking drifts. Clumps can even be planted in the lawn, where they can be left to increase and naturalise.

Most bulbs can be planted now, apart from tulips which should be planted in November. By planting a good selection of early, mid and late flowering bulbs I aim to have flowers from January through to June, weather permitting, of course.

To give contrast in my garden, I love combining bulbs with other plants. Tulips are one of the easiest for this as they come in such a variety of colours, heights and flower forms.

Early bedding displays can be created by planting a mass of tulips on their own but I plant them to grow through beds of wallflowers, polyanthus, forget-me-nots or pansies. Erysimum Bowles Mauve is a perennial wallflower that produces lilac mauve flowers for months. The double flowers of Tulip Angelique are soft

Otter Nurseries plant guru Rose Clark advises planning ahead when it comes to bulbs pink and contrast well when planted nearby.

Alliums in recent years have become extremely popular. Purple Sensation has bold heads of mauve flowers held on strong 90cm stems.

If there are any small gaps in my borders I will plant them with crocus They attract bees and give a lasting display. Unfortunately, their leaves begin to fade and look tatty prior to the flowers opening, which is why I will be planting mine underneath a group of Euphorbia robbiae. The sulphur green flowers of the Euphorbia are held over rich dark green foliage and make a good contrast with the purple alliums.

Narcissus Tete-a-Tete is a dwarf variety and a great favourite of mine.

I grow clumps of them all around my garden. They reliably flower early with often two or three long-lasting blooms on each stem. Their yellow colour is very intense and contrasts well with the almost electric blue

Ivybridge, South Devon £795,000

flowers of Pulmonaria Blue Ensign.

Tete-a-Tete is suitable to grow in rockeries, too, and they look great in pots. Narcissus Jetfire is slightly taller with an orange centre and looks fabulous peeping through the dark purple winter foliage of dwarf Pittosporum Tom Thumb.

Erythronium Pagoda is more familiarly known as dogstooth violet, a strange name but all becomes clear when you see the bulbs – they do indeed resemble canine teeth. Sulphur-yellow flowers are produced above clumps of bold fresh green leaves during mid to late spring. They are happy in shade and contrast well with low-growing ferns and hostas.

You can buy combination packs containing two or more different types of bulbs that will take the guesswork out of planting. My favourites include Midnight Dream, a combination of the black tulip Queen of the Night and pink tulip Menton. Morning Sunrise contains red-centred narcissi Red Devon and orange tulip Orange Emperor. Over the Rainbow is stunning with yellow and red dwarf tulip Stressa and the purple crocus Record.

I have a sizeable old clay pot which this year I will plant with tulip Sunlover. I first grew this cultivar two years ago and the flowers are huge.

They are double and change colour from deep orange red, to orange and yellow. As I recall they are quite tall but hold their heads up well. They are fragrant so I shall place the pot just outside my patio doors.

If there are any small gaps in my borders I will plant them with groups of crocus. Some of the specie types may have small flowers but they make up for it by flowering incredibly early. Just the thing to brighten a dreary winter’s day. I have also bought crocus Orange Monarch which claims to be the world’s only orange crocus. We shall see!

Ground preparation is always important. Prior to planting bulbs I always dig the ground over and fork in bone meal to encourage root activity. The depth to which bulbs should be planted is important. As a guide, most bulbs should be planted two and half times the height of the bulb, there are of course exceptions Iris reticulata being one. Although these bulbs are quite small, they should be planted 10cm/4in deep. Let the planting begin!

Plant expert Rose Clark has worked at Otter Nurseries, the region’s leading garden centre chain, for more than 30 years. To find your nearest branch, visit www.otternurseries.co.uk or call 01404 815815.

This handsome house, Coltsfoot, has more than three acres of grounds including a swimming pool. We think you’ll agree, it’s a bit special.

Gardeners’ diary

This week in your garden: ● Bring in house plants that have been standing outdoors in the summer, before they succumb to cooler weather. ● Plant out spring-flowering biennials including wallflowers and forget-me-nots in their flowering positions. ● Store apples and pears for winter. ● Continue to pick sweet peas to encourage further flowers. ● Plant dwarf bulbs, such as crocus in lawns and grassy banks and scillas and chionodoxas in pots.

● Protect the ripening fruit of plums and cherries from birds and squirrels. Pick the fruit as it becomes ripe but watch out for wasps when picking. ● Visit dahlia shows to identify new varieties you'd like to grow. ● Lift and divide five-year-old clumps of perennial herbs, such as bergamot and lemon balm, discarding the old woody centres and replanting in new positions. ● Reduce watering orchids indoors as growth slows down and apply the last feed. Remember that from the end of September until next April no feeding is necessary.

Gardens burst with colour when tulips come into full bloom

Planting plans: Rose’s guide Rose says: I have two old Belfast sinks which this year I intend to plant up with a selection of narcissi. I am particularly fond of double and unusual cultivars. I have selected the following: Golden Ducat, a full double yellow Ice King which produces lemon and cream fragrant flowers Apotheose a lovely double yellow with a crested orange/yellow centre Sir Winston Churchill a multi headed variety with small double white and yellow fragrant flowers, Replete giant heads of many pink and white petals Tahiti a rich double yellow with smaller orange red petals

interspersed in the centre What to do: I have placed a five cm/two inch layer of chippings for drainage and have raised the sinks slightly at one end to encourage excess water to drain towards the old plughole.

I have already part-filled them with multi purpose compost mixed with a small amount of perlite to within 15cms/6ins of the top. This will allow for the correct planting depth.

As I am looking forward to a massed display, I shall plant the bulbs quite close together but not touching. Then cover with the compost mix and finish with a fine layer of horticultural grit on the top.

Enjoy splendid isolation Gillian Molesworth finds a grand historic farm in South East Cornwall with a hot tub, tennis court, paddocks, nature reserve and waterfront If you would like a beautiful house surrounded by fields and a nature reserve, conveniently located near a city yet wonderfully private, look no further than Lower Marsh Farm.

This lovely property lies on the edge of the picturesque parish of Cargreen/Landulph, close to Landulph parish church.

It has a secluded rural position down a single track lane with stunning views overlooking Kingsmill Lake and the Tamar Valley.

The farmhouse is a Georgian/ Gothic Revival family home. It has a fascinating history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; flint hand tools dating from prehistoric times were found on site. Close by was once a medieval harbour, and the site of the house and garden was where pilgrims left for their pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

The property was owned by the Duchy of Cornwall until 1991.

The main farmhouse is a harmonious blend of architectural styles.

The earlier, central part of the house is Georgian, with good-sized, wellproportioned reception rooms.

Gothic Revival wings have been added at either end, with arched windows and doors.

The house is symmetrical and, despite its large size, it has a cosy, homely feel about it.

The house has five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master bedroom has en suite facilities.

Downstairs there is a kitchen and separate breakfast room with an electric Aga, a utility room, a separate WC, a smart dining room and a large drawing room.

Beyond this is a study and library with an en suite bathroom which could provide a sixth en suite bedroom.

Lower Marsh has a barn conversion annexe perfect for entertaining or letting out to a crowd: it has a games or party room, four further bedrooms and a family bathroom, and a second WC. The original barn is currently used as a workshop, but could be used as stables. There are also sties, a woodshed, wine cellar, triple car port, boat park, and a snooker room.

A south-facing terrace is perfect for enjoying the sunshine and the landscaped gardens. Gardeners will love the walled garden and large kitchen garden, and the orchard with its variety of cider and dessert apples.

Outside is also a floodlit tennis court and woodland slipway with nearly 600 metres of water frontage.

The house is surrounded by 42 acres of its own land, five of which are woodland. The majority of the property lies to the south of the house, and consists of a nature reserve and rough grazing. There are two paddocks to the north of the house ideal for horses or ponies, with a quiet bridleway running between the

garden and the grazing pasture leading to the village.

Botus Fleming is about three miles away with a good village pub, and in nearby Saltash thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Waitrose.

You are only 11 miles from Plymouth here, with its wide range of shops, facilities and schools. The worldclass golf course at St Mellion is only five miles away.

For more information about Lower Marsh Farm, contact Knight Frank, Exeter on 01392 423 111 or www.knightfrank.com, or JacksonStops and Staff, Truro on 01872 261 160 or www.jackson-stops.co.uk.

Coombeshead at Lewannick comes with a handsome farmhouse, further flat and a superior courtyard of traditional barns. It has 66 acres of land in the rolling Cornish countryside

Green and pleasant land Tom Rattray of Kivells gives an exclusive update on the state of the market for farms and farmland, and describes a few properties in the Kivells stable

This is a busy market for farms and smallholdings. Demand is now outstripping supply in certain areas of the Westcountry, and we are seeing prices approach the £10,000 per acre mark. For people who have been waiting for the right time to sell, this could be the right price.

There has been a lot of speculation that out-of-county buyers are keeping prices inflated. It is true that the Westcountry farms and smallholdings are attractive to “upcountry” buyers looking for a change in lifestyle. However, at Kivells, we are still seeing local farmers as both the principal vendors and purchasers.

Kivells Launceston has recently been instructed to sell Greenacres Farm in Roche, a 26-acre farm with a three-bedroom bungalow in the convenient mid-Cornwall A30 corridor

area. Greenacres will be the star of a September 23 collective auction sale.

It has a guide price of just £565,000, and there is plenty of scope to develop this versatile holding.

With slightly more acreage on offer, Coombeshead at Lewannick has also recently launched with Kivells.

This is a 66-acre residential holding with a principal residence, further flat and a superior courtyard of traditional barns.

Coombeshead, with a guide price of £1.75million, offers unique country living within convenient commuting distance to regional centres. There is also the ability to use the range of barns and well-equipped function facilities for diversification purposes.

Equine units too are coming to the fore, with plenty of activity and demand for good pasture and

St Leonards Equestrian Centre comes with great equestrian facilities, farmhouse, four cottages and addtional income streams stabling. This is true for smaller properties as well as larger ones – Kivells has a range of both.

At the top of the market is St Leo-

nards Equestrian Centre near Launceston, a 22-acre, fully equipped equestrian centre, with farmhouse, four cottages and additional income

streams (guide price £1.5 million).

You can see Kivells’ range of properties on www.kivells.com.

Converting a barn? Success will depend on your local council New legislation is in force allowing people more scope to develop farm buildings into homes. But how is itbeing interpreted by the local authorities? A Westcountry expert finds out In April 2014, a new “permitted development” order came into force, allowing people to convert farm buildings to houses. Under the new legislation, up to three new dwellings can be made out of existing barns of up to 450 square metres, without the need for a full planning application.

Martin Lee, head of Stags planning department, says: “We are now seeing a number of decisions from Local Planning Authorities, and they are hugely dependent on the interpreta-

tion of the local council.

“With legislation so new there are few precedents against which applications can be judged. The South West authorities are taking different approaches, often justified by a lack of reasoned appeal decisions.”

Here is some feedback from the different Stags districts: Mark Neason from the east of the region says: “Taunton Deane, East Devon and North Devon District Councils are refusing most requests for Prior Approval on the basis that they should not be permitting new dwellings in ‘unsustainable locations’ (i.e. not within or very close to established settlements).

“Additionally, Taunton Deane are

not permitting the conversion of opensided/frame Dutch barn type structures, because they claim that the building works necessary to create a dwelling go beyond the definition of conversion.”

In contrast, Martin Lee has obtained Prior Approval on behalf of a client for the conversion of a steel frame/clad Dutch barn in West Dorset (right) to provide a luxury four-bed home with integral garaging.

However, Martin has received a refusal on ‘sustainability’ grounds for conversion of two traditional stone barns from North Devon.

Jo Maynard of Stags Launceston Office says: “Cornwall Council appear to be responding to these sub-

missions by saying full planning permission is required on a variety of grounds, but sustainability seems to be common theme.

“To date only one application has been approved across the county. Once some appeal cases are taken forward hopefully this stance will shift”.

Nicola Palfrey of Stags Launceston Office reports: “West Devon and Torridge District Councils appear to be approving a few applications, with many of the refusals being merely due to the wrong interpretation of the Order”.

Lydia Cox from Stags Exeter office says that Teignbridge have issued a number of approvals for a wide variety of building types and forms, whilst

South Hams do not appear to have issued any approvals to date.

Are you considering buying a farm or smallholding?

Kevin Underwood from Webbers Fine & Country advises to use your head as well as your heart A new breed of first-time buyer is taking the Westcountry property market by storm: those investing in farms and smallholdings. If you too fancy hanging up the suit and getting back to your earthy roots, you must think carefully before you commit to this rewarding - but challenging - lifestyle.

Here are a few points to consider: Can the farm accommodate your needs?

First and foremost, ensure that the farm can fulfil your business requirements. Determine if the land is suitable for the animals you plan to keep. Is the soil and climate right for the crops you want to grow? Will you want to expand the outbuildings? If so, you need to enquire with the planning department to make sure your aims are achievable. Don’t assume anything with your first farm or smallholding. If in doubt, always seek professional advice.

Consider your finances When you start up your new business venture, it is likely that your income may be lower than you expect, so budget accordingly. If you are looking at taking on animals, you need to consider vet bills and seek advice in advance so you can factor these outgoings into your budget. You may find you need a second income, so consider nearby jobs. You will need to research employment prospects in the area and enquire with companies to ensure the opportunities are there.

Try before you buy Take the opportunity to visit a

working farm in your area to experience what life could be like and decide if this is the right move for you. The annual Open Farm Sunday in June provides a taster of your new venture at over 365 participating farms (visit www. farmsunday.org for more information).

Remember the house!

Throughout all of this, remember to not lose sight of where you will be living: the house. Make sure the property can fulfil all your needs, do not let the land overshadow this factor. Get to know the local area. Is it right for you? Are there good schools nearby? Does the local town offer the essentials for everyday life?

A farmhouse is a rewarding investment of both time and money; you need to ensure the property can grow with your family.

Don’t forget the practicalities Keep an eye out for anything that may cost you more money in the long run. Check the number of power sockets in each room, test the temperature of the taps and water pressure, confirm that the windows open and close easily and that the light switches work correctly. As well as this, check there are no plumbing or electrical issues. Often in rural areas, phone and internet signal can be poor due to the remote nature of properties. Make sure you check with your provider that both are available in the area before moving in.

Finally, be realistic Farms can be hard work, however; if done correctly you could be living the Good Life in no time.

Tom and Barbara Good from the BBC sitcom The Good Life were the ultimate unlikely smallholders; but many dream of owning land and animals

Beautiful Yarmleigh farm near Credition is for sale now with Stags. It has 220 acres, a Grade II listed south-facing farmhouse with annexe, a barn conversion and extensive farm buildings

The secret of a succesful sale

George Alder from Stags examines why agricultural holdings are hot in 2014 – and how to sell them for top price and minimal fuss The market for commercial farms is resilient despite the recent reduction in commodity prices. Demand is particularly evident from farmers looking to expand, relocate or the ‘gentleman farmer’ looking for a country lifestyle and tax advantages. We have also seen resurgence in residential purchasers, seeking to live in country properties with a few acres of land.

The market for farms is strong, but the key to a good sale is reaching the right people. Stags Farm Agency’s 2014 results indicate particular success where competition has been generated from a wide variety of buyers.

Where circumstances permit, there have been opportunities to appeal to all these disparate audiences, creating healthy competition between the whole farm buyer, the residential purchaser and the agricultural buyer.

No one relishes the idea of farms being split per se, and the division of farms, whether family owned or not,

is often contentious.

But there are undoubtedly advantages other than the vendor achieving a higher sale price. Lotting widens the market audience, enabling land parcels to be acquired by neighbouring and local farmers who are seeking to expand. Not every farm is suitable for lotting, however, and there is still a premium for ringfenced farms offering privacy and protection.

So far in 2014, Stags Farm Agency has used three main methods: private treaty, public auction and informal tender. Private treaty is the most flexible option, giving sellers control over the timeframe, price and the purchaser. The method is not without its drawbacks: any offer is subject to contract, meaning that either vendor or purchaser can withdraw without penalty.

Most farms and land that come to market are sold by private treaty. In August the 75 acre Lower St Andrew’s Wood Farm in Dulford was sold in

The 75-acre Lower St Andrew’s Wood farm in Dulford was sold in three lots by private treaty, well above the guide price of £995,000 three lots by Stags Farm Agency by private treaty, at considerably above the guide price of £995,000. By offering the farm in three lots, substantial interest was generated from whole farm buyers, smallholders and local farmers. The sale by private treaty gave the vendor flexibility in either selling as a whole, in three lots, or a combination of lots.

Public auction sets out to conclude the sale within a fixed timescale. As the sale is legally binding, the vendor does not have to suffer a nail-biting period between offer and exchange.

The vendor also has the security of a reserve price in case the bids don’t go high enough.

One downside to auction is that it

limits buyers to those with cash in the bank, or those with pre-arranged finance. Moreover, there is no opportunity to vet your buyer: he who raises his hand last is the winner, whether the vendor likes him or not.

On the flip side, some buyers actually prefer auction to other sale methods as it gives them a clarity not associated with the other options.

Woodhay Farm, a 148 acre commercial farm on the edge of Exeter, was sold at auction by Stags at the end of June. The farm attracted strong interest from local farmers, as well investors from as far afield as the Netherlands.

On auction day the eventual winner was an award-winning dairy

Land at Shobrooke in Devon (left) was sold by informal tender, while land at Clyst St Mary went to auction and sold for £30,000 above the guide price

farming family, the gavel falling at £1.3 million off of a guide of £1 million. Late last month Stags also auctioned some 22 acres of arable and grassland at Clyst St Mary offered at a guide of £225,000, but which achieved £255,000 as the gavel fell.

Informal tender is often recommended where strong interest is anticipated from neighbours or the wider market. It is designed to drum up the best offers within a fixed timeframe. This method of sale is in effect a ‘best bid’ system, and gives the vendor the ability to select the buyer.

Like a public auction, informal tenders can put off some buyers, not least those who are nervous of overpaying for an asset.

In May this year Stags advised one of our clients that informal tender would be the best option for 4.88 acres of land on the edge of the picturesque mid-Devon village of Shobrooke.

Having been used as allotments for the village, a market garden and a pasture field, the four individual lots attracted a lot of interest and multiple bids were received at the closing date.

The vendor, with Stags’ assistance, was able to assess the offers on their individual merits and as a result choose the successful bidders.

Rub a dub dub, just She’s not just an old soak...

Gillian Molesworth goes in search of the Westcountry’s best bathtubs in homes for hire I absolutely adore taking baths. Nothing beats that delicious feeling of being hugged all over by hot water, especially when you’re stressed, tired, or happily exhausted after a walk in the countryside.

You can never truly relax in your own bath, though, because there’s always something bothering you: laundry that needs washing, plants that need watering or a broken towel rail that really should be fixed.

To achieve a really good relaxing soak it has to be away from home.

One of the first things I do when we go away is to have a bath.

Without revealing too much detail, I undertake that full grooming regime that one never has time to do in the normal course of life.

I travel prepared with implements: razor, nail clippers, pumice stone, body scrub, shampoo and conditioner, lotion, overpriced facial masque.

I spend hours in the bathroom. I am late to things. People wonder if I’ve suffered a medical emergency.

I emerge smelling gorgeous and feeling like a new woman.

There’s all kinds of studies that suggest that preening like this satisfies a fundamental human need.

We are after all descended from apes, who spend a lot of their time going through each others’ hair. Relaxed grooming is part of our makeup as a highly-functioning primate. And, it can be amusingly social, particularly with small children.

Should you base a holiday around a good bath? Is that going too far?

Reader, I argue: no. No, it is not.

Don’t underestimate the power of a good bath to fix what’s awry in your life.

I have been on a quest to find some of the Westcountry’s best bathtubs, available in homes for hire.

And here is a list of the top ten:

roll-top bath flanked by romantic candlelight.

1.Western House, Highweek:

5. Lakeside, Millbrook:

Guests never want to leave this large, elegant house, maybe in part due to the beautiful bathroom with

This pretty cottage by Millbrook Lake accommodates eight and includes two well-fitted bathrooms, one

8. Sweeton Manor, Ponsworthy:

Cheese Cottage

Western House

Cadhay

2. Puddaven, North Bovey: This moorland cottage has a freestanding bath in the window recess of the master bedroom, from which there are uninterrupted views of Easdon Tor.

Don’t underestimate the power of a good bath to fix what’s awry in your life 3. Sandridge Barton, Stoke Gabriel: The master bedroom of this sensational Georgian house has a vast en suite, big enough for a football team.

Luxuriously fitted with central bath and large power-shower, it has spiral stairs leading discreetly down to the magnificent indoor pool.

4. Pittards Farm Cottage, East Lambrook: Converted from stable buildings, this pretty base for two is well placed for touring interesting churches, villages and gardens. At the end of a busy day soak in the roll-top bath, or the large shower cubicle.

family-sized with whirlpool showerbath.

6. Lilleby, Salcombe: Everything about this cliff-top house is five star, especially its master en suite bathroom with bath, double shower cubicle and twin washbasins.

7. Cadhay, Ottery St Mary: This manor house has romantic four-poster bedrooms with bathrooms to match.

An outstanding property with

This five-bedroom cottage has bags of character and chocolate-box charm. With oak floors and doors, inglenook fireplace and large dining space, it would make a comfortable holiday home which, if let for 30 weeks, could earn around £26,000 to £28,000.

Ask the experts Your holiday let questions answered Q. Can you recommend a WiFi provider for my holiday cottage please? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AH,Brentor A. Gaby Wakley, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: Guests require access to bank accounts, emails and social media and appreciate being able to investigate walks, restaurants and so on in the area. So provision of WiFi is becoming as normal as television in a holiday cottage, and owners who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide it are likely to lose bookings.

We recommend an unlimited usage package from the cheapest provider. There are lots of price comparison sites which help refine your options. The WiFi network should be set up and fully functional prior to guests arriving. Clear instructions and information so guests can connect quickly and easily are essential.

You may also consider setting your WiFi connection to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;openâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which means your guests wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a password (or WEP key) to access your network, although that does mean anyone can connect to your internet. We suggest regularly checking internet usage, and when setting up your connection it is prudent to install a good quality router/ firewall which allows you to block certain types of internet traffic.

Most ISPs offer this service.

Q. With the rising cost of fuel weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried guests may leave lights and heating on unnecessarily. Is it acceptable to charge separately for electricity and heating? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; JB, Honiton A. Melanie Cassidy, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:

moorland gardens and riverbank for picnicking and, at the end of the day, a soak in a high-spec bathroom is exactly what the doctor ordered.

9. Southerton Tower, Ottery St Mary: Converted from a water tower, this quirky retreat for two rambles over three floors, with the roll-top bath on the middle floor below the splendid double bedroom with valley views.

10. Cheese Cottage, Winsham: Once a dairy, this cottage has bags of character, not least in the bathroom which combines a traditional-style bath with modern comforts.

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 13 2014

Feedback from our customers has made it clear that all-inclusive prices are favoured and additional costs for heating/electricity are not popular. People are more ecoaware now, making it reasonable for you to request that lights etc are switched off when guests are out and that heating is turned down rather than windows opened. A polite, discreet, even humorous notice requesting that guests respect the environment is acceptable.

You can control costs further by having thermostatically controlled heating which comes on at set times, energy-saving lightbulbs with dimmer switches on main lights, timers on light switches for halls and entrances

and sensors on outdoor lighting.

Electrical appliances with a good energy rating will help. Any additional charges for utilities you decide to impose should be made clear from the offset as guests are aggrieved by hidden or unexpected costs.

Q. Is it reasonable to ask guests to leave by 9am to enable us to prepare our holiday home for the next party? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; MG, Perranporth A. Gill Nicholls, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: In a word, no. Little things like this can spoil guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; enjoyment of a property and result in you losing recommendations or repeat bookings. Assuming your earliest permitted arrival time for guests is 3pm, you need to assess why youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having difficulty completing the changeover. If two of you are preparing a small property, five hours should be ample. If your property is large, you could need an extra pair of hands; if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasonable to impose a 4pm arrival time to gain yourselves an extra hour.

There are ways of making changeovers less hectic: cookers can take time to clean, so line the grill with foil, put a drip tray in the bottom of the oven and invest in spare shelving so you can take dirty shelves away to clean, for instance.

It may help to make a list of the tasks and work out the most efficient order in which do them to establish a polished routine which will work like clockwork to use the available time most effectively.

Murtwell farmhouse has parts dating back to the 14th Century, but the addition in white stucco is Georgian. It comes with nine acres of organically farmed land which has supported livestock, poultry and a salad business

Go organic at Totnes farm

We thought that our special Farms and Smallholdings issue would be the perfect time to feature Murtwell, a lovely small farm in the popular Totnes area of South Devon. This property is perfect for someone wanting to change gears and embrace country life. It has an historic farmhouse, nine acres, pastures and agricultural buildings, and has been farmed organically by the previous owners.

Murtwell lies in a tiny hamlet in a peaceful part of the South Hams near Diptford, which has a parish church and primary school. It is about five miles from Totnes and also from the A38 at Marley Head. There is a village shop and post office at near by Harbertonford.

With parts dating from the 14th Century, Murtwell’s stone farmhouse has lots of charm, with character details including a big stone fireplace with copper cowl in the kitchen, and a secondary winding stone staircase.

The house has a south-facing Georgian addition with a rendered stucco facade. These added rooms are taller than those of the original building.

The kitchen has hardwood-fronted kitchen units, work surfaces and tiled surrounds, a twooven AGA cooker, and NEF four-ring ceramic hob. A casement window with a window seat is the perfect place to snatch some time reading a book while you’ve got something cooking.

The drawing room has a cast iron fireplace with slate hearth and mantelpiece, and French doors leading outside.

In the living room is another stone surround fireplace.

The house has five bedrooms with fitted carpets and a bathroom with pretty casement windows.

The surrounding land includes gardens, outbuildings and productive land, with a good depth of topsoil. This has been farmed organically, supporting poultry and salad enterprises, as well as livestock.

A concreted yard and parking area lies alongside the house. To the front is an enclosed grassy garden, extending around the western side planted with flowers and shrubs. There is also a productive kitchen garden.

Outbuildings include an open-front barn, stables, and feed store.

Murtwell Farm is for sale with Luscombe Maye, Totnes (01803 869920, www.luscombemaye.com) for £650,000.

Style conscious?

The writing’s on the wall this season – and the sofa, bookcase and sideboard.

Sam Wylie-Harris spells it out With a decorative solution that’s as easy as learning the ABC, designers have taken inspiration from the alphabet this season.

They’ve lifted the written word from our screens, books and magazines to really send the message home.

From inky letters and bold initials, to sharp lines and swirly script, typographic pieces are a great way to bring some contemporary flair to our living space, with endless opportunities for making a statement.

“The eye is drawn to words in a room, so opt for statement pieces which are a chic way to subtly introduce the trend, or go for brights that pop; a really fun way to individualise any corner,” says Ben De Lisi, designer at Debenhams.

Indeed, communication is a natural part of everyday life, and with texting one of our favourite pastimes and a keyboard always close to hand, lettering and typography is a great

way to create a personal and bespoke decorating scheme, with all sorts of imaginative and interesting acronyms.

As designer Rory Dobner points out: “Whether it’s spelling the family names with whimsical tiles or hanging prints and pictures with sentimental slogans in a favoured font, the options are limitless and a lot of fun!“ Taking it one step further, lettering doesn’t have to be confined to indoors and can also be used on patios and terraces, with wall hangings such as ‘Don’t Forget’ signs in slate – that way you can even pen additional quick notes to yourself or a loved one.

After all, letter-inspired homewares can be decorative, practical and even secretive.

And what could be nicer than reading a special hand written message?

Fancy a style spellcheck? There are range of suggestions on these pages that fit the script...
