A show home is now open at Lys Lander in Truro (pictured), a retirement living complex with shared facilities on Tregolls Road.

Built by McCarthy & Stone, it has been designed to offer homeowners “the best in independent living within a safe and secure environment, with the opportunity to benefit from companionship when they want it, and privacy and assistance when they need it.”

Shared facilities include a lounge, a terrace overlooking the gardens, and a guest suite.

A house manager takes care of security and maintenance.

For more details see www.mccarthyandstone.co.uk or call 01872 278524.

The countdown has begun to January 26 for the launch of OnTheMarket.com, a new property website poised to give Rightmove and Zoopla a run for their money.

The brainchild of Agents Mutual, OnTheMarket.com has the support of more than 4,000 estate and lettings agency branches nationwide, including national, regional and local firms. Tim Dansie from Jackson-Stops & Staff says: “We believe OnTheMarket.com will rapidly grow to become a major player in the portal market because it will provide a clean and simple search function and a highly effective platform.” Member agents have provided £8 million plus development funding.

It’s not too late to make a few New Year resolutions, at least when it comes to optimising the heat in your house.

British Gas is offering some handy tips in the form of its 2015 “home resolutions”.

The guide includes tips on how to bleed your radiators, service your boiler, wrap up your hot water tank, block the breeze, look out for carbon monoxide and insulate pipes. The full list can be seen on www.britishgas.co.uk.

According to company research, homeowners paid out an average £542 per winter to cover domestic repair costs to boilers. This may have contributed to the statistic that 49% of Britons don’t enjoy winter.

The top floor apartment in one of Plymouth’s most historic apartment buildings has just changed hands – putting the new owners in the company of historical figures such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Nancy Astor.

Grade II* listed Elliot Terrace occupies a prime position on the city’s popular and inviting Hoe promenade.

It was part of a planned group of terraces and villas designed by Foulston and his pupil George Wightwick, and is mentioned in Pevsner’s The Buildings of England.

It is Italianate in style, with a stucco front and slate roof, but with a Gothic-style paired porch with Corinthian columns.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (pictured skiing), creator of Sherlock Holmes, once lived in No 6 Elliot Terrace.

Nancy Astor, the first woman Member of Parliament (pictured skating), once owned No 3 – and later bequeathed it to the City of Plymouth.

The apartment that’s just been sold by Stags’ Plymouth office is Apartment 11, a two-bedroom apartment with beautiful views of

The Hoe, Plymouth Sound and Drake’s island. It is one of a pair of apartments that have undergone major refurbishment and refitting in recent years.

An easy walk to the city centre, theatres and the historic Barbican area, it will make the perfect home or pied a terre.

This gracious building is surrounded by Victorian pleasure gardens, bowling green, sea-facing footpaths and walkways.

How to wake up Refresh your boudoir and snooze in luxury and style.

Sam Wylie-Harris reveals the trends to bed down with in 2015 With designers launching their latest bed linen collections, there couldn’t be a better time to give your bedroom some love and attention.

After all, it’s the most intimate room in the house, where we go to unwind – and spend up to a third of our lives sleeping.

“For a fresh, elegant look for spring bedrooms, white or champagne tones are timeless, romantic and naturally calming, making the perfect antidote to a busy day,” says Julie Hall, head of design at Bedeck.

“Stylish accessories can give the bedroom personality, while layering the bed will create the complete effect.”

If you can’t resist decorative details for a more luxurious feel, delicate lace borders, embroidery, seersucker, or a subtle floral pattern in a muted colour palette are on trend for 2015.

“The most important thing about your bedroom is that it reflects your personal style and taste; it has to be a place that you want to be. Whether you share or have the room all to yourself, make it your favourite place to relax,” advises Molly Freshwater, Secret Linen Store founder.

Bestselling colours are still white, cream and pale grey – but, according to Liam Butler, brand director at Achica, there’s a definite trend for colour.

Achica’s buying team has developed a range – which will be available late spring – featuring hot pinks and cobalt blues that can be layered into white and pale grey.

“Coloured bed linen is an easy way to update a neutral scheme and add personality,” says Butler.

The Rolls-Royce of bed linen sets, 1,000 thread count is the highest qual-

ity yarn and will sustain more wear and tear than lower, say between 200 and 600, threads.

As Paul Deckland, decorative linens buyer at John Lewis, points out: “Thread count is the number of yarns packed into every square inch of fabric. The higher the thread count, the softer the bed linen – think crisp and sumptuous hotel sheets.

“High quality Egyptian cotton bedding is an ideal option – it’s supremely soft and also exceptionally

Rose and Bee bed linen, Emmabridge water.co.uk hard-wearing, thanks to the longer threads of the Egyptian cotton plant.”

Other designers, such as Dorma, have also introduced a higher quality thread count to their luxury bedding collections to help meet customer demand.

step further with our most luxurious bed linen to date, a true 1,000 thread count, which complements our indulgent Pyrennean goose down duvet and pillows, and our goose feather and down topper, for the most extravagant night’s sleep,” says Sarah Williamson, Dorma design and brand development manager.

“A white bedroom, layered with elegant neutrals is always a trend statement,” adds Williamson. “In addition, we are seeing more soft greys and gorgeous large scale florals emerging, with flashes of hot pink as a spring/summer 2015 trend.”

If you prefer a more homely, paredback scheme, personalising your bed linen with monogrammed initials will instantly create a luxe feel and dress up the bed.

Alternatively, decorative props, such as a vintage trunk or suitcase, will give the room a stylish designer look – and double up as extra storage space.

10 property of the week

So much moor to enjoy at Chagford People who own houses like Nattadon Hill House tend to hang on to them – they know when they’ve got a real gem. Ashley and Rosamund Levinson have owned the former vicarage for 20 years. It is a special property in a special place.

“We wanted to be in Chagford – ideally, we wanted something with four bedrooms and a bit of land,” says Ashley.

“The trouble with Chagford is that either you’re in a small house in the town, or you’re in a big house outside it, so you have to drive everywhere.

“Nattadon Hill was bigger than we were looking for – it has seven bedrooms – but it’s unique in that it’s right on the edge of the town, yet comes with five acres.”

The land meant that the family could keep horses in the house’s stables and paddock – the riding around Chagford, surrounded by stunning Dartmoor wilderness, is legendary.

Nattadon Hill House was built in 1888 for an incoming vicar with five daughters.

This was a comfortable age for the clergy, and the house was handsomely built by master craftsmen.

Outside it is a Victorian symphony of brick and stone, with decorative ridge tiles, tall chimneys, arched windows and eaves with “gingerbread” moulding.

Inside, it has tall and bay windows to welcome the sunlight.

When Ashley and Rosamund took it on, it had been run as a B&B, with a few improvised en-suites. The Levinsons decided to restore it to its past grandeur, showcasing its Victorian character, yet nudging it into the 21st century.

“It’s actually on mains gas,” says

Gillian Molesworth discovers a property which is part of the rich heritage of Dartmoor Ashley. “Transco were up the road for months digging the pipes into the granite, which was no mean feat.”

Indeed, the moor’s legendary surface granite makes it all the more remarkable that Nattadon comes with a subterranean level.

“It has a fantastic cellar – they really did things right in those days,” says Ashley. “It’s perfect for storing wine if you want to.”

You enter Nattadon Hill through an entrance gate into an outer courtyard, and from there into the inner gravelled parking and turning area.

There’s plenty of parking, which as locals know is a real boon for Chagford.

A glazed entrance porch with solid inner doors leads through to a lobby with Victorian tiled floor, and the reception hall with a stone fireplace and an inset woodburning stove.

About the area Chagford: This a former stannary town on the northern edge of Dartmoor, with a charming town square, independent shops, famous festivals and a vibrant community. It regularly features in the top ten “best places to live” in newspaper and online surveys.

Roads: Good connection via the A382 to the A30, and the M5 at Exeter (20 miles) Rail links: Frequent services to London and points west from Exeter Air: Exeter Airport is just under 30 miles away

Schools: Chagford has a primary school, which is Ofsted rated “good”, and a state secondary school at Okehampton, Ofsted rated “outstanding”. There is a range of independent schools in Exeter.

Days out: Ashley recommends a field trip to Widdicombe or Hound Tor to soak in the Dartmoor scenery Eat out: The Globe Inn and The Three Crowns are both excellent atmospheric pubs in Chagford. For a special meal, head to gorgeous Gidleigh Park, where chef Michael Caines will see you right

The Victorian character of Nattadon Hill House has been lovingly restored by the Levinsons, who have created an elegant character home with 21st century amenities The gracious drawing room has a polished marble fireplace, wiring for bracket lamps, and a bay window with French doors to a beautiful south-facing terrace.

One of Ashley’s favourite rooms is the study, which actually forms a suite of rooms separate from the main reception rooms.

This is where the vicar used to welcome his parishioners, with a private office to the side.

“It’s great because you can have a study which is a ‘relax in an armchair, read the newspaper’ study, and also a separate room which is properly set up as an office.”

A management consultant, Ashley has taken advantage of the digital age and conducted business from here.

The sitting room is a lovely bright room with wide mullioned transom windows and wood burning stove, and the dining room has recessed cupboards beside the fireplace.

The kitchen/breakfast room, with its yellow walls and red Aga, oak floor and south-facing French windows, feels cheerful and cosy. There’s also a walk-in larder with shelves.

With this much space, you can have a room for everything – Ashley’s hobby is photography, and he has put a darkroom in the annexe.

Upstairs, there are numerous bedrooms. The master bedroom has a bay window overlooking the garden, with delightful views to the edge of Dart-

moor and beyond. It also has an ensuite bathroom and dressing room with Victorian bedroom fireplace.

Many of the bedrooms have a basin and a few are en suite.

The upstairs views are gorgeous towards the edge of Dartmoor in several rooms.

“It does work very well as an entertaining house,” says Ashley.

“We’ve always been able to accommodate everyone and have had some wonderful holidays with extended family and children in the house.

There’s also a croquet lawn, which works very well as a flat surface for a marquee.”

With their two children growing up, the time has come for Ashley and Rosamund to say goodbye the won-

derful times they have spent in this lovely Dartmoor home – clearing the way for another to claim its special inheritance.

Gillian Molesworth rounds up some top Westcountry ideas Flowers and chocolates are traditional gestures for Valentine’s Day, but we think you can do better than that.

FALCONRY EXPERIENCE

These three two-bedroom holiday cottages and main house with four en-suite double bedrooms are in a designated AONB and just a mile from the sea and the Quantock Hills. Estimated income: £25,000 for the three cottages over a 30-week season, with the main house earning a further £18,000.

Here’s something different, with an Arthurian flair. There are a few different places where you can learn about birds of prey in Devon and Cornwall, and even have the chance to handle their magnificent falcons, hawks, and owls. Dartmoor Hawking (www.dartmoor hawking.co.uk) offers a range of falconry experiences, from a taster session to an experience day – on foot or on horseback (competent riders only). If you’re planning on popping the question, owner Martin Whitely can arrange to have an engagement ring delivered by a hawk or an owl – how romantic is THAT? Call 07791 560948 for details.

For some classical music, the Cornish Sinfonia are playing at the Hall for Cornwall (www.hallforcornwall.co.uk); or in Plymouth’s Theatre Royal (www.theatreroyal.com), you can see West End musical Wicked. Scout around your local venues for other shows. This is a good opportunity to have a pre-theatre dinner out: we’d recommend Chloe’s French restaurant in Plymouth (www.chloesrestaurant.co.uk), or in Truro, try Chantek (www.chantek.

one of the many romantic retreats available for hire in the Westcountry. Helpful Holidays (www.helpfulholidays.co.uk) has a great range. We’d recommend Grade II listed The Music Room in South Devon (L429), a perfect hideaway for two, or The Bathing House on the River Dart (L270). This pretty little building is the ideal lover’s retreat: the views are magical and you can hear the water chuckling and trickling in the night.

PICNIC ON THE BEACH For romantic scenery, nothing beats nature. Surrounded by beautiful coastline, the Westcountry boasts some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world. Head to your

favourite beauty spot with a picnic rug (useful if it’s waterproof on one side) and a hamper of treats. We’d suggest a thermos of something hot: tea or coffee at least, and if you’re feeling adventurous, invest in a soup thermos and make a posh stew.

(Rick Stein’s book on Spanish cooking has some great recipes incorporating beans, fish and chorizo – yum.) Keep it simple, but raise the bar with the ingredients – fresh bread for sandwiches, with upmarket fillings such as smoked salmon. And of course, chocolates for dessert.

Ask the experts Your holiday let questions answered Q. I’m worried I may inadvertently have underpaid tax on my letting income.

What are the consequences? – EJ, St Ives A. Gill Nicholls, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: HM Revenue and Customs established a scheme in 2013 called the Let Property Campaign which enables individual landlords to bring tax affairs up to date and get the best deal on tax which you may owe. You’ll need to let HM Revenue and Customs know about income you haven’t declared by making a ‘voluntary disclosure’.

To do this you need to fill in a form or contact them on 03000 514479 and you’ll then have three months in which to pay any tax you owe under the best terms for you. When a taxpayer has made an error whilst taking reasonable care, the error is regarded as ‘innocent’ and a penalty is unlikely to be charged. Declaring your concern rather than waiting for an error to be identified can avoid higher penalties, and prompt action will alleviate your anxiety too. Visit www.gov.uk/letproperty-campaign for more information.

Q. How can we reduce the risk of our holiday cottage suffering a chimney fire? – SP, Croyde A. Bev Plunkett, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:

A winter picnic on the beach, a falconry day or a trip on a steam train will make February 14 a truly romantic day to remember Paignton to Kingswear on the River Dart, the ferry across, and then an hour-long river cruise up the beautiful estuary. It’s a fun day out with plenty to see – and good shopping opportunities in Dartmouth, too. Trains run from 10.30am. Check out other steam railways to see if they are putting on any special Valentine’s events.

MOVIE NIGHT With so much on-demand entertainment at our fingertips, we don’t often make time to sit and watch a movie together. This is your chance. Hire or buy a romantic film and snuggle down on the couch with popcorn and hot chocolate, maybe with a little shot of schnapps to pepper things up. Movie ideas: Love, Actually; Gone with the Wind; When Harry Met Sally; Titanic; Four Weddings and a Funeral; or a series of Gavin and Stacey. Of course, you could always go out to the cinema or another venue –Miss Peapod’s CafÊ in Jubilee Wharf, Penryn is doing a

“relaxed film night� with a special menu (www.misspeapod.co.uk).

SCENIC HIKE AND PUB LUNCH Get out and about with a beautiful ramble – if you’ve got kids, bring them along. Head to the coastal path, the magnificent moors, or the wonderful woods of the Westcountry.

The prospect of returning from long walks to a hot drink and cosy fire is appealing and an open fire or woodburner is a popular facility in holiday homes.

However, home owners who provide fires do have responsibility for regular maintenance to ensure they’re safe. The Fire Service is called to over 5,000 chimney fires each year, with the most common causes being the use of unseasoned wood and not having chimneys swept.

It’s vital that before being lit in the autumn, your chimney is cleaned by an experienced professional who can also recommend how often it needs sweeping. Full or partial blockage of your chimney or flue risks both fire, with the potential to spread to loft spaces and roofs, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Blockages can be caused by various reasons, such as birds nesting or the ongoing build-up of soot.

Sparks from your fireplace can result in a fire or at the very least damage to your flooring. You should provide a fireguard in your holiday cottage and do leave safety instructions, such as ensuring the fire is extinguished at bedtime. Your cottage should have sufficient smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the correct places. It is imperative these are tested on a weekly basis and batteries replaced regularly.

Electrically wired alarms are preferable. Your local Fire Service website will have an informative website and is usually happy to advise on specific queries.

Q. Please can you advise on ensuring the safety of gas appliances in my holiday home? – LH, Minehead A. Melanie Cassidy, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 deal with installation, maintenance and use of gas appliances such as cookers, ovens, fires and boilers (including fittings and flues) fuelled by either mains gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and are aimed at protecting you, your guests and any staff that you employ in your holiday home. Your duty as an owner/landlord is to ensure gas fittings and flues are maintained in a safe condition by arranging for an annual safety check to be carried out on each gas appliance/flue by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You will need to display the test certificates and keep a written record of each safety check for at least two years.

Any repairs or modifications must also be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. As an additional safety measure, Helpful Holidays requires that carbon monoxide detectors are installed in all properties with gas/LPG appliances.

If you have a question for our holiday home experts, please send it via email to: wmnproperty@ westernmorningnews.co.uk

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been considering buying a new home, the Launceston office of Webbers is hosting a special drop-in event in their Launceston office today between 10am and 2pm.

Andrew Simpson of Webbers says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a client entrusts us to sell their home, they are expecting a positive and proactive approach, particularly at a time of year when the market traditionally is a little slower. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking to raise the profile of the properties currently for sale with us and inject a positive message to help boost confidence, which is so important in the property market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are already listing fresh properties this year, giving buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choice and with prices at sensible levels, so now is a good time to move.â&#x20AC;?

Two such properties are Trewen Mill, a house and three acres for ÂŁ625,000, and Fonson Cottage in Canworthy Water. On the market for ÂŁ325,000, Fonson has large cottage-style gardens.

Andrew says that prospects are good for the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We forecast that 2015 is going to be another good year for many reasons other than the very welcome news of the stamp duty revision. Interest rates seem likely to stay at a record low level for probably another year.

From April 2015 over 55s are to be offered the opportunity to use their pension fund how they wish, which no doubt will stimulate activity in the buy-to-let market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you also consider that at the time of writing many of us are better off with the lower oil and petrol prices, 2015 is looking very positive.â&#x20AC;?

During the open house today the Webbers team members are happy to provide a detailed cost illustration for a proposed move, with up to date conveyancing quotes with the latest stamp duty rates, and advice on the legal aspects of your property transaction, including choosing the right solicitor. Mortgage expert Allen Johns will offer a confidential and no-obligation chat about finances.
