Welcome to our Autumn Homes Review Hello and welcome to our Autumn Property Review 2014. This special free supplement is filled with some of the finest Westcountry properties on the market right now. It is packed with information and advice from the region’s property experts who have shared their knowledge of how the market is performing.

After a bustling start to the year, the South

West housing market has shown some signs of slowing. However, there is no doubt that confidence has continued to return and with it buyers who have some incredible properties to choose from.

Look inside and there are hundreds of homes to browse, many just on the market.

Be sure to take a look at Nettleworth House, a magnificent Grade II Listed

Regency house with potential at Silverton, on the market at £875,000 (page 14). If it is character you are looking for, there’s the Gothic splendour of Heath Lodge at Gunnislake (page 35) or for peace and seclusion, Coombe Park Lodge (page 70) is the perfect moorland retreat. Whatever you are looking for, this supplement has something for everyone.

Hurry to buy as market slows Francis Marshall, of Bradleys, says there has never been a better time to buy The market right now, at the end of the third quarter, is very interesting and is subject to some key factors, namely outside influences which affect confidence.

To compare this year to date with the same period last year and everything seems rosy. The volume of new instructions coming onto the market in 2014 compared to 2013 is up by 7%. The volume of sales being agreed is up by 10% and the volume of sales completing is up by 24%.

The current average price of a home in the South West is £208,388, which is an increase of 5% to date above the same time last year. These figures, taken in isolation, look very promising for the market. However it must be remembered that the market started slowly in 2013 and gathered pace through the year, so the figures for the completions are slightly distorted as we compare to a time when fewer were taking place early in 2013.

What is particularly significant is when, in isolation, we compare quarter 3 from last year to quarter 3 of this year. This gives a true year-onyear snapshot, long before the national lenders have produced their reports and long before the Land Registry releases its figures.

The new instructions coming onto the market are gathering pace and are up 10%, so the rate of new instructions has increased over the past three months. However sales being agreed have fallen by 7% in quarter 3. This demonstrates how the market has slowed compared to earlier in the year. In the year to date, sales have increased by 10 per cent, which includes the 7% fall in quarter 3. In the first half of the year sales probably increased by 17 per cent, however this has slowed in quarter 3 when we have seen this 7 per cent fall.

If quarter 3 is included in figures for the year to date, the completions

have only increased by 14% over this time last year, when compared to 24% for the year as a whole. This again shows the market is slowing.

Did I say the market is slowing?

Surely that is not what most people are hearing on the television or reading in the news. That however is a fact. The supply of property and demand ratio is swinging back in favour of the buyer.

Until three months ago, it was a definite sellers’ market, there was a shortage of property to sell and more buyers than sellers, so competition was fierce and prices rose. In a relatively short period of time the position has reversed and now the supply is outstripping serious buyers and buyers are having to be tempted to buy.

Tempted to buy means only one thing, the price has to be right. I am

‘Supply is outstripping serious buyers’ certain that prices will not fall, however I am aware that there are quite a lot of properties on the market where the vendors were aware of a rising market and priced optimistically.

Properties that have been on the market for more than three months will probably now need a reduction in price to be competitive with the new instructions.

Correct pricing of property is everything in the current market and when buyers can use the portals to

How to contact us

compare the market in an instant it is obvious which properties are correctly priced. Buyers are ignoring properties which they consider to be unrealistically priced but sales can still be generated quickly if the price is right and the presentation is good.

A couple of current good examples of reductions making the difference are Trefursdon in Callington and Tresidder at Helston.

Trefursdon, was reduced from £645,000 to £600,000 as the client did their homework and realised the price range they were looking in had dropped and their money would go further. A sale was agreed in less than three weeks from a successful relaunch at the new price.

Tresidder at Mullion was reduced from £800,000 to £775,000 and a sale agreed within three weeks to a buyer who had already viewed from central London. They had been watching and waiting for a reduction.

The combination of correct price and comprehensive marketing worked quickly in both cases.

So what has caused the slowdown and what for the future?

The slowdown is easy to address.

Any uncertainty knocks the property market and will always result in a slowdown. In this particular case, there has been a combination of factors, which have since been addressed. Firstly there was talk of a house price bubble and Bank of England Governor Mark Carney made us all aware that he might put up interest rates, which started to deter buyers.

Then there was the introduction of the Mortgage Market Review (MMR), which again deterred buyers because the television told them it was going to be harder to get a mortgage. The final straw was the uncertainty over Scottish devolution and the potential consequences of a yes vote.

What we now know is that the market slowed and the talk of increased interest rates has subsided.

In fact, because of the slowdown, lenders have not reached their lending targets and are cutting mortgage rates to try to attract new business.

MMR has been in place for several months now and mortgages are available but do use an independent mortgage advisor as they can process a mortgage much quicker than a lender under the new rules. Finally

the Scottish voted no and sales picked up the very next day. These three things undoubtedly combined to slow the market and have now been resolved so all looks set to continue as it should.

What is my advice for a buyer? Buy and buy now! Mortgages are available, interest rates are rock bottom and there are some fantastic five and six year fixed rate deals available.

Pension rules have changed and instead of being forced to purchase a poor performing annuity you can now put your pension fund towards an investment property which will continue to grow in value as well as giving a much enhanced return on investment compared to the only previously available annuity. There is currently a great choice open to buyers, plenty of property to choose from and the prices are currently keener than they were three months ago but should continue to show steady growth over the coming years.

In short, it’s never been better to buy, but be quick as it won’t stay this way forever!

How to find the right home for retirement Moving home in retirement can be a brilliant opportunity for a fresh start.

As we reach our golden years, our lifestyle inevitably changes and what we look for in a property tends to change as well, writes Roger Wilkinson, of Wilkinson Grant.

Moving house later in life can seem daunting.

Common concerns include not wanting to leave a neighbourhood or family home, a reluctance to part with possessions and worries about maintaining independence. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpful to think

about the benefits of moving. Focus on why you are considering moving and what your musthaves are. You want the location to facilitate the lifestyle you want. Ask yourself what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re most looking forward to and what you want to spend more time doing.

The demographics of the retirement home purchaser are changing and becoming younger.

Many people carry prejudices about retirement options and make all sorts of assumptions.

However these may be based on images and ideas that are outdated. Research shows that the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pipe and slippersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; image of a pensioner is a thing of the past and the progressive end of the retirement sector has responded with options that cater for a different kind of retiree.

One such option is the retirement village.It is a great choice for those looking for a sense of community. Social connection is central to happiness as we grow older. Avoiding isolation and maintaining friendships is easier when you are surrounded by like-minded people.

Relocating to a brand new, custom-made home in a retirement village can also offer peace of mind. Homeowners can enjoy the comfort and security of a village community, knowing that there will always be someone to help, should they need it. With new-build properties thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little or no redecorating, New homes are also better insulated.

Renaissance Villages is developing Exeterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first retirement village, Millbrook Village. Centrally located and close to the River Exe, the village has luxury cottages and apartments centred around a clubhouse. For those looking to stay active, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a fitness suite and indoor pool. The management team will provide support with chores such as housekeeping and laundry, and there will be a shop, medical centre and post box onsite. Prices start from ÂŁ340,000, with part exchange available. â&#x2013; Contact Wilkinson Grant on 01392 427500 or visit www.wilkinsongrant.co.uk.

Tapestry of treasures makes fine family home There are home improvements and then there are home improvements on a grand scale.

When Edwin Coleridge transformed the six-room Elizabethan parsonage at Buckerell in Devon into a spacious family home in 1829, he incorporated what would be described today as architectural salvage into its fabric. And what treasures he’d rescued!

What’s now an upstairs bedroom at The Old Rectory was once his private chapel, with stained glass windows dating back to Tudor times, while the dining room’s doorway has an

The grounds also include stables, a paddock and tennis court enormous stone frieze surrounding it: “It would have originally belonged to a house three times as big,” says the vendor. “But Edwin Coleridge collected stonework, masonry and everything under the sun.”

Time’s woven like tapestry into the fabric of the Rectory, with each family that’s lived here adding their part.

Its current owners have lived here

Catherine Barnes visits a country house in Devon with a Coleridge connection for 25 years and created a warm, inviting and beautiful home within it.

“In a way, it’s a privilege, being in a home we know’s been here since the 1600s,” says the vendor.

Now, with their three adult children all married and places of their own, they feel it is time to move on – although not far away.

They anticipate that it could be the perfect home for a family with lively teenagers, with its seven bedrooms and three additional attic rooms easily configured to give every family member their own ‘suite’ of sleeping and lounge areas – as their own daughters enjoyed when they were younger.

“They were pretty spoilt young people!” says the vendor. “But many people like the idea of a child being able to grow up with a little inde-

About the area Location: Buckerell is a small unspoilt village two miles from Feniton, which has a post office and store. Exeter is around 15 miles away.

Road: The Old Rectory is two miles from the A30, with connections at Exeter onto the M5 north, A303 towards London and A38 to Plymouth Rail: Nearest mainline stations are at Honiton (four miles), Tiverton (15 miles) and Exeter (15 miles).

Other transport: Exeter Airport is an 11-mile drive, and Bristol is just over 60 miles from Buckerell.

Schools: Feniton CofE Primary, rated by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’.

Honiton Community College is the nearest secondary, while The King’s School at Ottery St Mary four miles away is rated by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’. The independent Blundell’s in Tiverton is open to day pupils and boarders aged three to 18.

Good food: The Jack in The Green gastro pub at Rockbeare, just east of Exeter not far away. And if fresh seafood’s your thing, The Honiton Fishmonger comes recommended.

Out and about: Take a walk along the River Otter, a quarter of a mile away, or discover pre-history at Hembury Fort, a tribal stronghold dating back to the fifth millennia BC.

The Old Rectory could be the perfect home for a family with lively teenagers, with its seven bedrooms and three additional attic rooms. It is located in the beautiful East Devon countryside, overlooking the Otter Valley pendence within the home and today they are so much more gregarious and social than we were at that age.”

The Old Rectory’s three and a half acres of grounds also includes stables, a paddock and tennis court, as well as an orchard and mature landscaped gardens.

At present, they are covered by an amazing carpet of hundreds upon hundred of self-seeded pink and purple cyclamen.

As well as outhouses, the property also includes a former Sunday School building built by Edwin Coleridge, who was the nephew of poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Within the fabric of its architecture is a 14th century chapel window, originally part of the parish church, which Edwin found a new home for when he extended the latter with a new transept.

The Rectory’s spacious kitchen area with cosy Aga belongs to part of the house extended in Edwin’s day and built to accommodate large family gatherings, with the vendors’ own kitchen table seating eight to 10 around it.

The Old Rectory, Buckerell, near Honiton, Devon, offers in excess of £1,100,000

The vendor grew up in the local area and his career took him and his young family overseas, before returning to settle in Devon.

At the time, his job required him to

travel across the Westcountry, with Buckerell proving ideal in terms of access on to the main arterial roads, as well as good rail and air connections to London and beyond.

It’s a friendly area, he adds, with its proximity to the beautiful River Otter making it the ideal place for walks that clear away the workaday cobwebs and lift the spirits.

Property: A Grade II listed former rectory and schoolhouse, parts of which date back to around 1590.

Location: Buckerell is four miles from Honiton Accommodation: Seven first-floor bedrooms, three further attic rooms, three reception rooms, dining room and kitchen.

Outside: Double garage and Georgian former Sunday School building. Three and a quarter acres of grounds including landscaped gardens, orchard, tennis court, paddock.

Confidence vote in housing market With just under 12 weeks until Christmas, now is the time to be finding a house to move into before the big day arrives.

Traditionally it is the first half of the Michaelmas school term when buyers search for a property before going on to agree the purchase.

With the Scottish Referendum also now decided there has been a slight increase in activity, albeit a few weeks later than normal.

The Exe Valley is one location that has already experienced this upturn in activity following the referendum.

This demand has been a direct result of new buyers being registered, leading to more viewings, which should lead to increased sales.

Indeed, after the referendum new buyers registering with Strutt & Parker increased by about 10%.

The Exe Valley has always seen good properties coming to the market and this is certainly still true across a wide range of values.

With more buyers looking to buy in villages than previously experienced, there has been a rise in interest. A prime example is 2 Chapel Road in Brampford Speke, which is on the market at £184,950.

Oliver Custance Baker of Strutt & Parker assesses the Exe Valley’s appeal This two bedroom cottage sits in the centre of this popular village and is an opportunity for a potential purchaser to put their own stamp on a property.

Nettleworth House, guide £875,000, is another example. With almost an acre of gardens and only a short walk to the village amenities, Nettleworth House provides a large family home in a truly fantastic position.

We also expect the market for development properties to continue to rise as more and more buyers look to self-build. This allows purchasers to construct their own houses in their own style, rather than buying a house developed in somebody else’s style.

This has become more common since

recent changes in Government legislation, as there has been a rise in the number of barns with planning permission for conversion coming to the market. We have found that these sales tend to go to best and final offers due to the level of interest received.

Whilst looking forward to the autumn market, it is also important to be planning for a potential sale in 2015.

For example, photographs are crucial when marketing any property and whilst there is still colour in the garden it is worth considering taking some external photographs now. This allows for proper preparation for sales, ensuring that when a house does come to the market it is launched correctly.

Some buyers will be waiting to see what is going to happen to the property market over the remainder of 2014 and early 2015, but there is still a good tranche of committed purchasers out there.

It is important to attract the right buyer to each house and this can be done through national exposure and talking to the right people.

There is a market for sales to be agreed, especially for those looking to move in before Christmas, where properties have been realistically priced.

Quality of life is driving demand Confidence really is returning! This autumn has seen a significant rise in enquiries both from purchasers and sellers throughout North Cornwall.

The factors responsible are not easily explained. However a high quality of life in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a healthy environment may have a strong influence on purchasers choosing the Westcountry for their lifestyle change.

Other factors, including the buoyant London market with good signs of continuing growth for the rest of the UK, have helped restore confidence in the investment market once again, especially in hot spots such as Padstow and Rock. Two excellent summers have seen record numbers of visitors to North Cornwall, ensuring an excellent return for the holiday letting industry. This is where we have seen the most positive response from potential purchasers, especially for waterside properties. Guaranteeing maximum occupancy will help to sustain the local tourist industry as well as give confidence to those making an investment in North Cornwall.

In the residential market there are increasing signs that the market is gradually moving on to a more sustainable footing. The number of instructions coming through will create a better balance with demand and keep prices steady.

A new hot spot is the market town of Wadebridge, which offers an excellent choice of reasonably-priced properties for younger families, with excellent schooling and a superb range of artisan shops, restaurants and sports activities, all within easy reach of the coast. This provides a lifestyle that cannot easily be matched, however there is still a need for more affordable homes for local young families throughout North Cornwall.

Some of the momentum seen recently may be affected over the next few months by concerns about a likely rise in the cost of borrowing.

Jackie Stanley explores the North Cornwall hot spots as confidence returns to the market However the mortgage subsidy scheme has given housebuilders an incentive and hopefully we will see a continued rate of growth.

The properties most in demand seem to be at both extremes of the price scale. Pretty Cornish cottages are still commanding huge interest, especially when they are in need of restoration, giving purchasers the chance to stamp their own person-

‘Frontline residences with spectacular views are being snapped up’ ality and purchase at £250,000 or thereabouts. At the other end of the spectrum, ‘one-off ’ frontline residences with spectacular views are being snapped up, often with discreet marketing, and being given extensive facelifts, often concluding with a veritable mansion, constructed with every technological advantage, that is worth a couple of million pounds or more.

Overall, purchasers are from all walks of life. There are those downsizing from cities to find a relaxed environment, those looking for opportunities to utilise the tourist industry and those wanting to start small businesses on the basis that communication is no longer a problem in this internet driven society.

The North Cornwall coast is one of the most sought-after retirement choices and there will always be demand for bungalows in towns and small villages, selling in the region of £350,000 to £500,000.

Another growth area is the ‘lock-up and leave’ apartment, riverside or coastal. There properties are being snapped up off-plan in the hot spots of Padstow, Wadebridge and Constantine Bay, with prices from £350,000 to £900,000 for contemporary luxury homes.

There are seasonal trends in North Cornwall and autumn is traditionally an excellent time for buying and selling, and judging from our experience and enquiries we are now achieving excellent results.

There are more houses coming onto the market too, giving more choice. However it is still price driven and the days of optimistic premiums being achieved are rare and the market is increasingly price sensitive.

Roger Punch of Stags champions an area of Cornwall that is sometimes overlooked South East Cornwall is the portion of the county that is closest to Plymouth and is largely influenced by the employment and service hub of the city.

Yet, despite its many attractions, the area is ignored by most tourists.

South East Cornwall offers some wonderful opportunities for the property buyer. Divided from Devon by the River Tamar, which tidally runs 15 miles inland, and with some blissfully unspoilt river inlets, the area is also flanked by a long coastline of the English Channel to the south and the heights of Bodmin Moor to the north.

Significantly, the A38 runs through the centre of it which, as we are always keen to explain, means the area is possibly more accessible at the height of the holiday season than the well-known and lucrative South Devon hotspots of Dartmouth, Salcombe and Kingsbridge.

The influence of Plymouth is highly significant. The employment provided by Devonport Dockyard means that many find commuting via the Tamar Bridge or Torpoint Ferry attractive. Another major employer, Derriford Hospital, is a 10 minute drive from the Cornish border.

While the A38 and A388 are the principal roads, the Rame Peninsula is linked to the city by the Torpoint and Cremyll Ferries, meaning a commute by bicycle or foot is a real possibility for some. Prevailing property prices in this region are often 30% lower than many parts of South Devon.

South East Cornwall is renowned for its intriguing place names, often challenging and embarrassing newcomers to the area. It is inevitable that character will be attributed to the qualities of Narkurs, No Man’s Land, Crumplehorn, Herodsfoot,

Horningtops, Quethiock and Botus Fleming. This truly could be a foreign country!

To emphasise the modesty of price levels in the area, examples sold this year include the delightfully named An Skiber Goth, a stone building in a secluded setting with studio, organic paddock and woodland, in all about 3.5 acres, with a price guide of £550,000. Trehunsey Cottage, with 11 acres in an idyllic setting near Quethiock, sold off a guide of £389,950, making this remarkable value for money as far as the region as a whole is concerned.

There are, of course, normally named properties such as Sea Holly

Could Looe be the region’s next property hotspot?

Property prices in this region are often 30% lower Cottage at Downderry, a Victorian semi-detached house with sea views, which sold this summer off a guide of £399,950, and the inevitable Rose Cottage, at Pillaton, a classic Grade II Listed cottage priced £395,000.

If there was an area that could be earmarked for potential then this must be it. The last 20 years have already reaped major benefits for sellers of properties along the coastline or on the banks of the River

The delightfully-named An Skiber Goth sold off a price guide of £550,000

Tamar as buyers have steadily trickled over the border, purchasing properties that would otherwise be beyond their financial reach. The question must be whether there is further scope for this region.

It was announced in the Western Morning News on January 15 that celebrity chefs the Tanner Brothers were to create 40 jobs in the seaside town of Looe, raising the question of whether the town was to replicate the Padstow effect of Rick Stein, which resulted, over a period of years, in a Westcountry hotspot.

This area is full of surprises. Included in these are Bosun’s Locker in Downderry, with its sea aspect, priced just under £400,000, the nearby Gwel Carreg at £550,000 and the extraordinary attributes of Mont St Pierre in Polperro, located further west, with its breathtaking sea and harbour views, which may well attract an international entrepreneur, at offers invited in excess of £1 million.

Buyers go head over heart for the perfect place Only yesterday I was speaking to a lady from Crawley who just couldn’t wait to complete her move to South East Cornwall, saying “from next week I’ll be on a permanent holiday.”

It is only when buyers seem fit to bust with excitement about moving to the area that I remember that we live in a most wonderful part of the country. My buyer went on to say that she had many friends that were also looking to move to the county and not one had chosen to go any further than about 20 miles into Cornwall from the Devon border.

So what makes South East Cornwall so appealing? Well, where else can you get to both the north and south coast within half an hour? Take a portable barbecue and a bottle of wine and what better place to see the sun set than the coast right on your doorstep? With good road and rail links too it is so much easier to visit

Sam Elias of Bradleys on the appeal of South East Cornwall and who the area is attracting family and friends beyond the Tamar Bridge. For the walker, there is Dartmoor on one side and Bodmin Moor the other and the boating enthusiast can while away the hours along the Tamar River.

Village life in South East Cornwall is a huge appeal. Stoke Climsland, for example, is a village which buyers from out of the area cannot fail to fall in love with. The children love the local primary school and the parents love the village shop with its post office, freshly baked bread and great choice of wine! Pretty cottages, a church, village green and a great

community spirit are a big attraction. It is no wonder that villages such as Stoke Climsland along with St Germans, St Cleer and St Mellion, to name but a few, are a popular choice for buyers registered with us.

So where are our buyers coming from? Whilst there is always a reasonable amount of local movement, we do rely heavily on out of county buyers, especially for our more expensive homes. This week the South East Cornwall offices have seen an enormous increase in enquiries from buyers from out of the area looking in

all price ranges. We also have a huge database of investors too. We have had huge success selling to investors and then subsequently letting many properties, and this time its towns such as Saltash, Callington, Looe and Liskeard which come into their own.

And the sellers? Well a big trend at the moment is to downsize financially. Why run a four bedroom home when the children have flown the nest? We are certainly buying more with our heads than our hearts at the moment and never has it been more important to be realistic on price to

ensure you achieve a sale over your competition. My colleague told me yesterday that he went on a course in London where the delegates were told that 65% of all properties that come onto the market don’t sell, a statistic which surely shouldn’t apply to our wonderful area when, from our experience, it is clearly in such high demand? So what advice would I give to get that important sale? Choose an agent with great local knowledge and a pro-active approach, trust the advice your agent gives you and work with your agent in achieving that sale. Be realistic on price, prepared for that last minute viewing, leave your agent a key so there are no missed opportunities, seek mortgage advice early on so you are prepared when that all important offer comes in and appoint a solicitor the minute you go on the market.

The property market has been the subject of much discussion in the past year and is seen as an integral part of economic recovery.

This renewed confidence has indeed brought more buyers and sellers to the market, but there is still caution, despite more attractive rates for borrowing.

The reality is that correct pricing and modest capital growth remain key to maintaining momentum for the longer term.

All of this applies to the lettings market. It is fair to say that there has not been too much movement in rental returns in our region this year as the market can only sustain so much growth to attract quality tenants.

This creates a quandary for buy to let investors looking to buy in the current market, as their yields are being squeezed by modest house price increases.

However I see this as an opportunity, especially for those with a longer term view.

A recent report in the trade press suggested that rental yields had a North-South divide across the country, with the North outstripping performance. So that means we should all go North to acquire our buy to lets doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it? Well no.

As investors we always maintain a degree of emotion in our purchase of properties and retaining an emotional

Lyndon Bent of Bradleys looks at the lettings market and practical connection with our beloved Westcountry works in our favour in the longer term.

We have capital growth running at a higher rate than the

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let emotions override a business mind setâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; North so, over a year, properties in Exeter, for example, are producing a better than 5% yield. In addition they could see 3-5% growth in capital value, thus outstripping capital growth in the North.

Of course, it is imperative that when buying for investment emotions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t override

a business mind set.

I always feel that when buying a property for your own occupation you will make the decision on a ratio of 80% emotion and 20% business. In making an investment purchase this should be reversed.

I recently spoke to an investor, with a substantial sum of money to invest, who was considering a fabulous house with all bells and whistles in a highly sought-after part of Exeter, a very nice place to own a property.

The reality is that for a similar spend, he could purchase three properties with a better overall yield, reduce the risk of void periods impacting on monthly income and enjoy a potentially better prospect when it comes to saleability and capital growth. Not all eggs in one basket then.

It is for this reason you should seek professional advice. â&#x2013; Visit www.bradleys-estateagents. co.uk or call 03330 146140.

Buyers hang on until leaves fall Following the trend over recent years, the market has so far proved to be very strong in the Tavistock area during late summer and autumn, with a real upturn in the number of viewings and a good number of agreed sales.

As far as the cliché in the property market goes, hope springs eternal and this is often the case, with an influx of excited sellers coming to the market in springtime. However, whilst spring is a popular time for sellers, it seems that autumn is now the time when buyers are out in force.

It’s an interesting dynamic, driven by various factors including the fact that many buyers like to sit back during the year and monitor the market, often taking their time in order to secure the ideal property.

As the year drifts on, many buyers decide late summer or autumn is the time to strike and attempt to push through a sale before the onset of winter.

Another catalyst to a brisker market is the influx of out of county buyers, many moving down to the South West from the South East in search of a more peaceful way of life,

The Tamar Valley offers some glorious views seduced by the stunning scenery the area has to offer. For many this is a huge decision which needs some pondering and research, so whilst a search may start early in the year an actual purchase often comes far later.

Tavistock town itself is a real pull for buyers, offering a thriving range of individual shops, interesting architecture and an easy pace of life.

Then there is the panorama of Dartmoor and the wealth of rural pursuits to be enjoyed in the National Park, surely one of the most dramatic landscapes in the country?

Into Cornwall and the market is also on the up. Often the draw again is scenery, particularly with the Tamar Valley which offers some glorious views which often come into their own as the trees turn a beautiful red and the morning mist hovers in the valley.

The local property stock in both West Devon and East Cornwall offers great variety.

Tavistock town features a wealth of Georgian and Victorian architecture alongside some more modern buildings. Yelverton is

Martin Deacon of Abode on the brisk market in West Devon and East Cornwall famed for its late Victorian and Edwardian houses with their ornate coved ceilings, picture rails and bay windows. The Tamar Valley is synonymous with old workers’ cottages, mine captains’ houses and rural smallholdings. There really is something for everyone.

Now comes the interesting part.

Most sales agreed at this time of year are with buyers desperate to be in their new homes by the time the Christmas tree goes up and the turkey is in the oven! Certainly it is a busy time of year for solicitors as motivated buyers try to expedite the

conveyancing process in order to rush through their transactions by Christmas.

The onset of autumn is also a reflective time here at Abode. We have now been open for four frantic months, in which time we have enjoyed a rip-roaring start to our new business. With more than 100 properties now on our books we are proud of our early progress and would like to thank our staff for their hard work and all our clients.

Do homework for a good result As we approach autumn the property market in our area continues to ride high, after a summer that offered a high degree of choice in many soughtafter areas across Plymouth, Cornwall and the South Hams.

This year has seen less ‘bonus money’ available to professionals looking to invest in property or move up the property ladder, so there has been a noticeable shift in the types of serious buyers.

In particular, the Plymouth market has seen an increase in interest for waterside properties from those looking for holiday investments to lock-up and leave, making apartments around the popular city marinas the new hot properties.

The many visitors to our Waterside Network stand at the recent Southampton Boat Show certainly demonstrated how the popularity of coastal properties has grown in recent months, with most interest being for properties offering direct water access.

The investment in Plymouth’s newest marina, King Point at Millbay, the opening of The Dock restaurant and the development at Quadrant Quay, have certainly ensured demand for stylish waterside living.

The central Plymouth market continues to be buoyant, with many buyers looking to make the move from smaller homes to larger family properties. This prompts housebuying discussions around local primary and secondary schools, convenience to main routes in and out of the city and proximity to amenities and attractions.

Peverell, Mannamead, Hartley and Stoke continue to be popular suburban choices, ticking the boxes due to the popular local primary schools along with secondary schools and the option of Plymouth College. This,

Natasha Kirkham at Town & Country on the pull of Plymouth coupled with quirky independent shops and the benefit of easy access to Central Park, Milehouse Park & Ride and the Plymouth Life Centre, ensures the demand for property in this area continues to be prevalent.

There has also been a rise in interest for properties on the outskirts

‘Confidence in the economy has also strengthened’ of the centre in areas such as Plympton, again with its offering of highly regarded schools and the benefit of quick access to major routes.

Educational need has also impacted on another area of the Plymouth market. We have seen an increase in parents looking to make a sound investment in two bedroom properties within walking distance of

the university campus for older children starting or continuing their further education. They are wanting to buy more of a ‘home from home’ as well as providing a more long term return on a buy to let basis.

Whilst there has been considerable hype in the national media about a buying frenzy, this certainly is not true across all areas of the UK. As we have seen historically, the Westcountry quite often takes a while to catch up with national trends and often does not see an impact at all, all of which can lead to conflicting views on local property market activity.

From this, buyers are certainly doing more homework prior to making their big property decisions, ensuring they are not being hit by inflated house prices that pose a future risk to resale values.

Confidence in the economy has also strengthened which also has a positive impact on people’s comfortlevels and decisions about now being a good time to move. On the flipside of this, purchasers will now have to satisfy stricter criteria with mortgage lenders to ensure affordability, with a view to maintaining stability in the property market.

Whilst we have been enjoying a fabulous Indian summer of late, the leaves are slowly starting to turn crisp and brown. As these first signs of autumn begin to appear, we can look ahead to the approaching autumn and winter period.

During the course of the year, the property market has continued to grow in both strength and buoyancy and 2014 has so far proven to be the best year since the recession first hit.

There is a new confidence apparent amongst both buyers, and indeed, sellers.

Of course we are still in the midst of endeavouring to make our way out of recession, and are finding that realistic pricing is becoming more crucial than ever before in helping to restore the market to its former glory.

Since opening in early April, we have found that if a property enters the market at a sensible and realistic price it will ultimately sell within an acceptable timeframe, making the transaction as swift and agreeable as possible for both buyer and seller.

Due to the good weather we have enjoyed during the summer months and school holidays, together with the Scottish Referendum, we observed a slight dip in both buyers registering and viewing properties.

However, as we enter autumn and leave the uncertainty of the Scottish vote behind us, September proved to be much busier in general. In particular we have experienced a surge of new applicants registering and existing applicants wishing to secure their dream home before the Christmas period.

Ria Evans looks at the factors fuelling North Devon’s buoyant market Whereas in previous years the property market has been dictated by the seasons, it is becoming increasingly apparent that with an everchanging world the property market is also adapting, with activity present

‘Pricing is becoming more crucial than ever before’ during formerly quiet times.

We are fortunate in the area that we operate in as it is, without doubt, a haven of natural beauty, with some places having the protection of an AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

We are spoilt for choice, with glorious sandy beaches stretching for miles, set against a backdrop of rolling hills and countryside, wildlife, bustling seaside towns and sleepy fishing villages. Unsurprisingly, due to this, we frequently come into contact with an abundance of people who wish to acquire a second home by the sea or a quiet country retreat amidst the Devon countryside. These types of properties always attract a remarkable amount of interest.

Looking ahead to 2015, we remain ever optimistic that the market will continue to grow in strength and confidence. We have no doubt that the looming election, due to take place in May 2015, will have an impact on the market, as both buyers and sellers look to see what changes will be made, if any. However we are positive that the election will come and go, as we have seen so many times before, and the market will inevitably return to normality afterwards.

56 holiday homes Homes with holiday letting potential selected

by Gaby Wakley of Helpful Holidays Cove View, Sennen, Cornwall, £399,995

Set above spectacular Sennen Cove with fabulous views, this twobedroom apartment is already established as a holiday home so would make a wise investment with a potential annual income of around £15,500, assuming it books for 30 weeks.

Agents: Chartsedge, Exeter, 01392 832446, www.chartsedge.co.uk

Copplestone Cottage, Colaton Raleigh, Devon, £525,000

A quintessential Devon cottage, this 17th century, Grade II listed, detached, thatched cottage with three bedrooms on the village edge is less than five miles from the coast and would make a popular holiday cottage. I’d expect it to earn around £18,000, based on 30 weeks’ letting.

Agents: Humberts, 01404 42456, www.humberts.com

Apartment 9, Gara Rock, East Portlemouth, Devon, £395,000

Holiday home is Miles Kevin of Chartsedge examines who is buying to let in the Westcountry, and why The second home buyer is still alive and kicking – and still more interested in the Westcountry than any other location in the UK outside London.

The days of the ramshackle cabin near the sea are gone – buyers have become more discerning in what they are looking for. They all want a property in decent condition and with a good specification.

What people are more flexible about, however, is location.

At Chartsedge in previous years, we used to get buyers asking for Newquay or Salcombe only. Now, most of our buyers have much broader search areas, such as North Cornwall or South Devon. Some are not even that particular about the location, as long as the property fits their tick list. “Water views” and “close to the beach” are the most popular requirements, and ones which we don’t see changing any time soon.

Our buyers are looking for a safe place to put their money. Savings accounts are earning little or no interest, so people see bricks and mortar as a better long term investment.

With the relaxing of the ‘Annuity Rules’ next April, this type of buyer will increase dramatically. A recent study estimated that 400,000 people a year will be free to spend their pension savings on whatever they wish. We believe a large amount of this money will be spent on holiday homes, and we are already registering interest from buyers who want to buy next spring. They are seeing a second home as something they can enjoy with themselves and their family, and

which will also earn a welcome income.

Unlike savings, holiday homes are earning well presently. Helen Hayes of letting agency Helpful Holidays said: “Properties represented by our company have had a very strong summer surge in bookings, the most dramatic peak we’ve seen for several years, which has compensated for the weather-induced stutter early in the year. Bookings for October are also good. Advance bookings for 2015 are very promising; with 11% more

‘Water views’ and ‘close to the beach’ are on top of buyers’ lists bookings than at this time last year.”

Another type of buyer are the people looking to eventually relocate to the South West.

These buyers look for a second home first to be used for holidays, into which they can retire later.

Others use the initial home as a base to find their permanent home, and then keep it as an investment going forwards.

The other trend we have seen is many more ‘time poor’ buyers, who want a holiday home but can’t see how they can run it from a distance,

and have heard anecdotes from acquaintances on how it can go terribly wrong.

This is where an award-winning holiday letting agent such as Helpful Holidays can come into their own: organising lettings, and recommending management companies and services to take the stress out of the equation.

These buyers are also attracted to a new phenomenon in the market: fully managed resort properties.

Many of these new schemes offer 365 days a year on-site management that not only takes care of your property,

A breathtaking location with swimming pools and restaurant, the cottages and apartments here are successful and popular holiday lets with an established turnover. I anticipate this apartment achieving around £23,500 over a 30-week season.

Agents: Marchand Petit, Salcombe, 01548 844473, www.marchandpetit.co.uk The estimated income figures above are net of VAT and agency fees, but not running costs.

Apartments at Tors Park in Lynmouth, North Devon cost £275,000-£450,000, and have fresh modern interiors designed for carefree living

Ask the experts Your holiday let questions answered Q. Why are my booking levels lower than a nearby holiday cottage of the same size and layout which is managed by the same agent? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; TJ, Bude A. Katie Treseder, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:

Properties near the beach have enduring appeal, like Trungle House in Portreath, ÂŁ475,000 with Chartsedge but arranges changeovers and lettings. The owners need do nothing but collect the payments.

These properties often have the added bonus of facilities such as indoor pools, gyms, restaurants and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities.

Excellent examples of this type of property are Una St Ives in Carbis Bay and Northern Fistral near Padstow, where there are leisure facilities, a spa, and concierge services.

With property prices rising approximately 2.6% and holiday rental bookings looking to be at record levels next year, why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you buy a holiday home?

Assuming both cottages are similarly priced, and the reserved weeks are genuine bookings rather than dates allocated for the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use, other factors can result in lower booking levels.

When furnishing your rental property it is important to create a living space to please customers as well as yourself. Guests expect a similar standard of comfort and conveniences to their own home, and possibly better if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying a premium rate. Try consulting a local interior design and furnishing company, such as Uneeka (www.uneeka.com) in Truro, which will understand the need to balance the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;wowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; factor with practicality.

Brochure and website images are influential when customers select accommodation and the adage â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a picture paints a thousand wordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is very apt. A well presented and equipped cottage will have wider appeal than a tired interior or unkempt garden.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unhappy with the images of your property, discuss the possibility of a new photo shoot with your agent. It is also sensible to ask your agent or property manager for advice on improving your booking levels.

Finally, look at the facilities and equipment provided by the cottage with which youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re competing. WiFi, free linen and towels, a broad range of kitchen appliances, good TV and sound equipment, DVDs, a table tennis table, books and games, toys, a cot and high chair, stairgates, dog beds and bowls, even a cake and tea tray on arrival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all these extra touches attract holidaymakers and make a good investment.

furniture, including a table large enough for the maximum number the property accommodates to dine alfresco. Ideally, add a parasol and perhaps a couple of sun loungers. Garden chairs and a table may be more practical and popular with older or less able guests than a picnic bench. If you have a large property where the party is likely to include children, picnic benches can provide handy additional seating to complement individual chairs and tables.

Picnic benches also prove practical if your furniture is in a shared or communal area or your property is in a windy or coastal region where the furniture is exposed to the elements.

Q. I am happy with the agent with whom I currently work, but would like to build my own website to run in conjunction.

Do you think this would be an advantage? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AH, Ilfracombe A. Bev Plunkett, property manager for helpful Holidays, says: It is common these days for property owners to have their own websites running in conjunction with an agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. This reassures potential holidaymakers and can provide additional photos and information and advice, not only about the property but also about what there is to do in the surrounding area. However, it is vital to ensure that your website is well built with lots of photos and information, and that it is regularly maintained and kept up to date. Provide a link from your own website to the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which should show live availability and provide a prompt and efficient booking procedure.

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

Q. Do holidaymakers prefer picnic benches or tables and chairs in the garden? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; FD, Minehead A. Melanie Cassidy, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:

As outdoor furniture is subject to wear and tear and will be regularly used, your main priority is to ensure you provide sturdy, good quality, preferably wooden

Rendlestone, an abandoned stone building just outside Princetown, sold for £75,000 at auction earlier this year

Auction activity in region bucks the national trend Chris Baxter of Bradleys on changes in the auction market The simple fact that the number of auction lots sold in the South West over the last 12 months increased by 7.3% compared to a national figure of just 3.8% suggests a positive trend for the region.

Drill deeper into the figures and the rate of commercial sales was less than the national rate, which suggests that all of the region’s growth in auction activity was driven by house and land sales.

They say variety is the spice of life and this has been very true, with many successful sales in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall drawn from a wide variety of property.

As ever, weird and wonderful lots offered earlier in the year for the South West Water auction drew large crowds of eager buyers, with a 100% success rate. The same was true for many other auctions, selling lots for local authorities, utility outlets and other institutions.

Whilst this may provide the reason for the growth in 2014, other favourites such as building plots, investment rental properties and homes and barns that require renovation or conversion, have equally

sold well this year. There have also been a few recent changes to the auction scene which are worthy of note.

There has been the emergence of an alternative style of auction held

‘Gone are the days of unrealistically low guide prices’ online, allowing buyers to bid from the comfort of their sofa, which has proved very popular.

Here at Bradleys we are offering between five and ten lots a month using this method, which is particularly successful at the lower end of the residential market. Whilst this

This end of terrace property in Plymouth was sold in an online auction for £194,950 after fierce bidding will never replace the traditional auction it does allow the vendor a choice for his or her asset.

Hot off the press has been a ruling by the ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) regarding the use of guide and reserve prices in auctions. Gone are the days of unrealistically low guide prices designed to heighten the

interest of buyers who then find out in the auction room that the reserve price (the lowest price the vendor instructs the agent to accept) was unusually high.

Now all sales particulars of lots sold by auction should carry a definition of the difference between the guide price and reserve price, with

guidance that the two values should not be outside of a 5% differential.

This will add transparency when bidding at auction and I think it is generally a good thing for the industry.

Rew Orchard, priced £1.75m, stands in 1.5 acres in a peaceful hamlet, 10 minutes’ walk from South Sands beach

Demand is up in middle market At the start of 2014 the strongest performing sector of our coastal South Hams market was the higher end £1million-plus properties.

As we approach autumn 2014, the trend has switched to the lower and middle market, with interest peaking and strong demand for houses and apartments in the £250,000 to £500,000 bracket.

The measures brought in by the Bank of England, intending to build on market stability, have succeeded in cooling the earlier exuberance of the London market which was witnessed in the first two quarters of this year.

Mortgage lenders are required to assess borrowers’ ability to afford their mortgages should rates rise within certain percentages for the first five years of borrowing.

We are starting to see the ripple effect of these stress test measures, the consequence of which is two-fold; lengthening the time a small number of transactions requiring mortgages take to exchange and increasing buyers’ reticence to make a buying decision last month.

However, after a summer of glorious weather, September has certainly brought more focused buyers back into the region, intent on securing a house purchase before the political agenda of 2015 starts rolling.

The quintessential cottage will always appeal to the second home buyer.

We are also seeing an increase in the number of people who are able to fulfil their dreams of relocating.

Often these buyers have been struggling to sell elsewhere in the country

Harriet Cundy, director of Marchand Petit in Salcombe, reveals the shifting demand in the South Hams but with a national improvement in the market in the spring, they’ve secured sales and are able to seriously consider moving for a more relaxed yet still active pace of life.

For these buyers, gardens and privacy within a community are essential wish list requirements, forfeiting the sea view in favour of space within walking distance of the coast and a short drive of a golf course.

Rew Orchard is one such property.

Sitting in about 1.5 acres in a peaceful hamlet, just a ten-minute walk from South Sands beach, the house was built to an exceptionally high standard about eight years ago.

The bright spacious six bedroom accommodation has oak-framed living areas with extensive glazing overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds, with a stream running through the garden.

On the market for £1.75million, this is an idyllic home for anyone wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle yet still have the convenience of all the amenities that Kingsbridge and

Salcombe offer. The most critical issue for vendors this autumn will be price. The South Hams hasn’t benefited from the ‘lift’ that’s taken place in London and the South East and only the most perfect properties can justify ambitious expectations in the coming months.

Instruction levels are generally strong and this should help satisfy buyers who are sitting in rented accommodation, having got themselves in the best possible position.

However, with more choice for buyers, it is important that sellers present their properties well to give themselves the best possible chance of securing a sale before the market inevitably hardens over the winter.

We would also urge vendors to give offers serious consideration as, with a General Election next spring, there is a good chance there will be more of an air of caution in the early part of 2015.

Across East Devon we have seen continued demand for property, with 70% of buyers coming from outside the region, particularly the Home Counties, writes Mark Goodenough of Pennys Fine and Country.

Part of East Devonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal lies not only in its ease of accessibility to the South East and London but also its diverse range of property and, importantly, price ranges.

As always, location is key to demand in the area, with some real hot spots where property values lie at a premium level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; locations such as Sidmouth, Beer, Lympstone and Topsham spring to mind.

The flipside is that properties of very good value can be picked up if buyers are prepared to look away from the coastal areas which have traditionally been more expensive. Towns such as Exmouth and Seaton still represent great value for money.

So what are East Devonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key selling points?

Stunning countryside; an impressive coastal and estuary location; easy access to Exeter; good communication links including trains to London, the M5 and Exeter Airport; affordable property, from ÂŁ100,000 upwards; excellent schooling, for example, Colyton Grammar School; diverse cultural options such as the Northcott Theatre, and, not forgetting, a relaxed lifestyle.

In general throughout this year we have noticed a continued appetite amongst buyers for value for money properties which are well situated.

It is noticeable that some property, particularly in the last six weeks, is taking longer to sell and it should be borne in mind that large new-build developments, such as Cranbrook, have perhaps soaked up some potential buyers for the secondhand market.

As we move into autumn some of the early summer â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;frothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has now come off but pur-

new homes

WMN-E01-S6

Location is everything. At The Cove, Brixham, 34 apartments with this stunning view were sold in just three months

Which new homes market?

When I am asked to comment on what’s happening in the South West new homes market I normally reply “which part of the new homes market?

Like most places in the property market, be it a town, city or region, there are no average market conditions but a collection of different micro markets according to property price, buyer demand, location.

This is why national news stories suggesting that the property market in the UK rose by above 10% can be so misleading. Drill down into the regions and you see a very different picture, with some areas actually seeing a drop in prices compared to the other extreme of London and its soaring property market.

The new homes market in the South West is broadly divided into buyer groups versus property developed….from which I discern three main groups. Let me explain.

Buyers moving upmarket. This includes those who are buying for the first time or are looking to move up the property ladder. The key point here is affordability and product.

These buyers are very dependent on mortgage availability which, as we know, has recently become tighter in terms of buyer qualification and affordability. Every penny counts and in an environment where there is little or no wage inflation, the ability for some to move up the ladder may be limited. Where it is possible, the new homes developer has to respond with new homes that are good value and offer future savings in utility bills as well as being appropriately placed for buyers to access work, schooling, retail and leisure.

What continues to help this buyer is the Help to Buy Governmentbacked scheme. Generally this market place has been robust with, in many cases, homes being bought off plan or at construction stage.

However there are a few examples in

Chris Baxter on the differing requirements of today’s buyer groups the region where too high pricing has led to stock housing going nowhere.

Then there are the buyers moving downmarket. We have an active retirement market, both from buyers within and those seeking their retirement dream from other parts of the UK. The new homes market in this sector has greatly improved in the last 18 months and continues to do so. The retirement buyer is mostly

Like most places, there are no average conditions looking to downsize, which is likely to include an apartment as well as houses or bungalows. Two things to note here is that this buyer is looking for property with an above average specification, will look at ultramodern or traditional architecture and, if the product fits their intended lifestyle, may be prepared to pay a reasonable premium. The recent uplift in the market place in the Home

Counties and other affluent areas of the UK has meant more buyers with cash have bought in the South West this year and some surprisingly high values have been achieved.

The property investor or holiday home buyer is after an additional property to purchase and will often look at a new purchase for ease of maintenance and rental performance. However, with both buyer types, this is a discretionary purchase not an essential buying decision. The market has been mixed here. Where as on the one hand an investment buyer is looking for value for money, the holiday buyer is chasing a lifestyle property.

There are cases of new homes that offer a holiday restriction where prices have been driven down, but if the product is right in terms of location and price, and without a restriction, you could have a winning combination.

In one instance where Bradleys were the selling agents, 34 homes were sold within three months. With the investment buyer, it has mainly been at the lower end of the market where demand has been highest and continues to thrive.

So there you have it. In the main a positive picture moving forward but with an election looming next year it will be interesting to see how the new homes market responds.

Like the wonderful and varied landscape of the South West, the market for farms and land varies considerably throughout the region.

Factors including location, soil type, size, proximity to services, schools and setting all affect value.

A common theme throughout the region at present is the continued strong demand for good quality land and also for farms with commercial opportunities, or those that offer privacy and seclusion in a desirable location.

In North and Mid Devon, the early flush of farms offered to the market during the spring has resulted in fewer farms coming to the market in late summer/early autumn. Activity was at a healthy level throughout the summer, with sales including the 54 acre Melbury Farm at Parkham, pictured above.

The appetite for bare land lots has continued undiminished in the mid and north of the region, and I believe this will continue into 2015, driven by local demand competing with buyers from outside the region.

This continued upward trend in prices has been assisted by fewer acres being offered for sale on the

Andrew Dodds from Stags reports healthy activity in the farms and land sector open market, but prices have remained very dependent on location and quality.

In Cornwall, all types and sizes of land – from small parcels suitable for equine use to large blocks of land suitable all types of farming – are proving irresistible to buyers, according to Andrew Ranson.

“The cupboard is almost empty,” said Mr Ranson, “and more land is required to satisfy the demand”.

Demand is expected to be strong from buyers seeking a productive farm in such an outstanding position.

In the east, west and south of Devon, George Alder noticed a flurry

of farms coming onto the market in east and central Devon in the spring.

“The land and farm market is particularly strong in east Devon, clearly as a result of money coming from outside agriculture,” Mr Alder said.

Similarly, in South Devon demand for farms and land remained buoyant, with two farms sold in the first half of the year, one close to Paignton and the other near Totnes. Interest was shown from both farmers and nonfarming buyers.

This autumn, West Devon appears to be home to much activity.

second homes

WMN-E01-S6

Rivage House is a double fronted period property on the waterfront of South Town in Dartmouth, priced at £995,000

Second home owners are housing market’s anchor It has been an exciting year so far with a buoyant market, particularly for properties which appeal as second homes for prospective purchasers who want a coastal ‘home from home’ in the South Hams.

Dartmouth relies on this sector, now more than ever, to keep the housing market as busy as it has been in the area. More than 50% of properties sold or under offer so far this year have been pursued purely for second home use.

Who can blame them, when the historical port of Dartmouth offers such an eclectic mix of property, boasts architecture unique to the town, sits amidst some of the most breathtaking scenery and benefits from a year-round calendar of events?

Whether it is a small bolthole in Dartmouth’s vibrant town centre, a luxury pad overlooking the estuary or a spacious period property, the town has a variety of properties to appeal to the tastes and budgets of aspiring second home owners.

A few properties which should attract purchasers on the lookout for a Dartmouth retreat include Flat 3, 1 Newport Street, a delightful duplex apartment in the heart of Dartmouth with southerly views and a cosy atmosphere. The apartment, £175,000, has a private, substantial roof terrace, creating an ideal location for al fresco dining. Inside there is a living room, two bedrooms, bathroom and a kitchen with some period features.

This property would be perfect as a town centre ‘lock up and leave’, situated a stone’s throw from the eclectic shops along Foss Street and Dartmouth’s Flavel Art Centre.

Samantha Garrett of Stags on second home ownership in Dartmouth The Crow’s Nest at 5a Lower Street, £315,000, is a charming period property in the heart of Dartmouth, with a decked roof terrace, three en suite bedrooms, open plan kitchen/dining room, living room and cloakroom.

This property is a peaceful hideaway in the heart of Dartmouth. Built in

This would be perfect as a town centre ‘lock up and leave’ 1920 and retaining late Edwardian features, including original sash windows and decorative fireplaces, the mid terrace has been lovingly updated in recent years by the current vendors. This family home is cur-

rently run as a successful guest house, however it would equally serve as a second home.

Then there’s Rivage House at 2 South Town, £995,000. This double fronted period property is on the waterfront of South Town in Dartmouth.

Built in the 1920s, the three-storey property has many features including sash windows, dado rails, and high coved ceilings, and has been tastefully enhanced to include three en-suites and an integral garage. The grand first floor reception rooms have elevated views across the River Dart, out to Dartmouth Castle and the sea. These views are enjoyed again from the bay windows in the bedrooms. Outside, Rivage House has a patio to the rear and a lower private courtyard and decked terrace. The property would appeal to those seeking a trophy townhouse in a prime waterfront location, within easy walking distance of the famous gathering spot and views at Bayard’s Cove.
