Don’t miss The Sails

Great things have been happening in the Homes sector in the field of charity athletics. Robin Burne, right, manager of Bradleys in Budleigh Salterton, has been raising money for The Pituitary Foundation on behalf of his colleague Richard Greetham. Wrapping up six months of challenges, Robin completed his final half marathon: Exeter’s Great West Run, in 1hr 44mins. Last Sunday, WMN Homes editor Gillian Molesworth took part in the Plymouth 10K, sponsored in part by Mansbridge Balment. Here, she grabs a moment for a snap with Tony Carlton from the agent’s Woolwell office. She says: “My time was 1hr 37seconds, not up to Robin’s standard, but still not too shabby!”

The Ombudsman Services are releasing a guide to help students know their rights when it comes to renting. Research found that three quarters of students have experienced problems with their accommodation or utility suppliers, and are unsure how to handle the situation. Accommodation-related issues topped the 1.7 million students’ list of complaints. Faulty fridges, broken boilers, leakages and vermin topped the list of gripes. Chief Ombudsman Lewis Shand Smith said that the guide, marketed on Facebook and Twitter, would arm students with information about their rights and the resources available to them.

An innovative development in Dartmouth has been awarded “Best Apartment Scheme” at the UK Property Awards. The Sails development of six contemporary apartments overlooking the town’s quay beat off national competition to bag the title, at the end of October. The developer, Environ Communities, specialises in sustainable development. Stuart Shield, president of the International Property Awards, said: “It’s amazing to see the innovation that delivers ever more surprising solutions that not only look good but also introduce beautiful new homes with a very low energy requirement.”

On an amazing site in Plymouth Sound, Seawings (above right) has planning permission for a new building (below right) Here’s a project to dive into, in an unparalleled location in Plymouth. Seawings stands on the head of the city’s Mount Batten peninsula, formerly owned by the Ministry of Defence. It was lately used as a restaurant and as accommodation, but has stopped trading. The property comes with planning consent for a new fourstorey building, a “striking and positively contemporary design” by Graham Lobb of Plymouth-based architects Form Design Group. The plan is for seven luxury

apartments, with commercial premises and garaging on the ground floor. Roger Punch from Stags said: “This unique property occupies one of the best positions in the South West, and it comes with consent to build a formidable and thoughtfully designed building. “However, it also has scope for a entrepreneur to revive Seawings as a restaurant.” The Mount Batten Peninsula is strategically positioned on the approach to the harbour, separated from the city by a corner of the

Sound and the westernmost portion of the Cattewater. Just above the property is the Grade II* listed Mount Batten artillery tower, dating from 1652. In the foreground are the Mayflower Steps, from where the “pilgrim fathers” left for the New World in the 17th century. Seawings has fabulous Plymouth Sound views, completely unobstructed, of the historic Hoe, the Citadel and towards Sutton Harbour. Plymouth City Centre is within a mile by water taxi. Seawings is on the market with Stags, Plymouth for £750,000.

Fetching Flora Local buyers were drawn to Flora Villa in Saltash, a classic Victorian home in a prime residential location. It faces south and overlooks walled gardens to the River Tamar.

Retire in style at luxury complex Retirement is a time for enjoyment. You’ve done the drudgery of home maintenance: now is the time for hassle-free living in a stylish environment. You’ve also got more leisure time, so you want to be in a place with plenty to enjoy. This autumn has marked the launch of three show homes at a new retirement development in Exeter. Designed exclusively for the over 55s, Millbrook Village promises luxury properties with great leisure facilities. Created by award-winning property company Renaissance Villages, Millbrook Village enjoys a peaceful setting close to the river, and within easy reach of Exeter’s city centre. The new development will provide a selection of cottages with two or three bedrooms, and apartments with one or two bedrooms. The properties are set within private, landscaped grounds and centred around a private clubhouse, Springbok Hall. The clubhouse forms the heart of village life at Millbrook. Here, residents can socialise with friends and family in the restaurant and bar, relax with a book in the library, or enjoy a game of snooker in the games room. There is a spacious meeting room at their disposal for their own organised clubs and events. Millbrook has a fabulous fitness suite, including an indoor swimming pool with sun terrace and a private gym. Over 40% of the properties in the project’s first phase have already been secured by buyers, but further

Gillian Molesworth finds out why Exeter is the place to be for the over-55s cottages and apartments are available to reserve off-plan. Prices start from £340,000. One couple who decided that Millbrook was for them are Fred and Lorna May, who came across it while on holiday. Both retired, they had been thinking about downsizing, having lived in their five-bedroom house in Oxfordshire for 12 years. “We had both fallen in love with Exeter and when we discovered Millbrook Village we knew it was exactly what we were looking for,” said Lorna. The couple put a deposit on a three-bedroom cottage. Fred said: “Since we retired, our lifestyle has changed. We wanted to move into a property that would involve less maintenance, and give us

Millbrook has a range of cottages and apartments available for reservation. With top-spec fixtures and fittings, they have been designed with low-maintenance, stylish living in mind more freedom to do the things we enjoy. “Security is very important to us but we’re also very active. We’re delighted to have found somewhere with such excellent facilities that will enable us to be independent and live in a home of our own, stay fit and healthy and give us plenty of choices.” Lorna said the accessibility was also key. “The village is perfectly situated close to the city centre on a bus route,” she said. “All the amenities we could need are on-site, and the management team provides support with chores like housekeeping and laundry. “Most importantly, we’re really looking forward to being part of a village community, around likeminded people our own age and meeting lots of new friends.” Fred adds: “Devon is a great place to live. It’s a couple of degrees warmer than Oxfordshire and the countryside is so picturesque. We’re looking forward to walking into the city along the river, and exploring the many beautiful spots within easy driving distance.” Iwan Jones, managing director of Renaissance Villages, said that thanks to a part-exchange scheme, buyers of some cottage plots at Millbrook can have a quick, simple move

said. “There are no estate agent fees to pay and, unlike traditional partexchange schemes, buyers don’t have to be trading up to a more expensive home.”

Steal a march on We may have had storms and rain, but while the ground’s workable, gardeners should make the most of the time they have left to do the jobs which will give them a head start next year. Whether it’s revamping your lawn, dividing perennials, trimming hedges, clearing weeds or preparing the greenhouse for winter, you should leave no stone unturned if you want to get things in order for spring. Don’t delay in completing these tasks: Plant new trees, shrubs and roses

Bidbeare Barton is a traditional Devon farmhouse with superb views, with Dartmoor in the distance. The house is Grade II listed, with historic details such as a 17 century plaster mantel bearing the arms of Gidleigh and Northleigh. It has lovely lawns and borders, a paved terrace and heated swimming pool. Agents: Helmores, Crediton 01363 777 999, www.helmores.com

Penpol, near Truro £595,000

These should benefit from the warm soil, which encourages root growth to develop quickly. You will need to give them a good soak when planting initially, but hopefully rain will play a part too. Just keep an eye on newlyplanted specimens and don’t allow them to dry out if we don’t have wet weather. The plants should establish over the winter, giving you a head start for spring. Revamp your lawn With all the autumn rain we’ve had, the ground will be soft enough to either turf or reseed a new lawn, or repair an old one. If you are laying new turf, good preparation is the key, which will mean removing weeds and stones, digging over the soil adding compost or well-rotted farmyard manure and incorporating sharp grit on heavy soil, and levelling the area off to a fine tilth on which to sow seed or lay turf. It needs to be kept well watered, although the rain should help at this time of year. Seed needs to be protected from birds with netting, elevated by placing shortened twigs or canes around the area and securing the netting to them. Divide perennials

Gardens views don’t get much better than this panorama of Restronguet Creek, near the Carrick Roads. River View, on the market for the first time, is an extended bungalow with two bedrooms. Agents: Jackson-Stops and Staff, Truro 01872 261 160, www.jacksonstops.co.uk

Now is the perfect time to split those plants which have become congested while they are dormant, but before the ground becomes too hard to dig them out. Perennials which benefit from dividing every few years include hostas (but you’ll need a knife

There’s time to finish autumn tasks before the frosts make the ground unworkable. Hannah Stephenson outlines all those jobs to do before winter sets in to cut through the thick roots), cranesbill geranium, montbretia,

Take those hardwood cuttings in late autumn to propagate shrubs rudbeckia, helenium and aster. You can also move plants which aren’t happy in their allotted space to a spot where they may be happier. Trim hedges and tidy evergreens They should remain neat until spring. Evergreens should not put on much new growth during winter, so should save you the job of pruning them in spring, when you may risk disturbing nesting birds. Deciduous shrubs can be pruned into winter. Weed out the worst culprits If you do a final weed before the

perennial weeds disappear for the winter, you should hopefully make your task lighter when they come back in spring. Look out for ground elder, couch grass and bindweed, which are among the most pernicious weeds and try to dig up all the white roots which, if left in the ground, will just sprout up again next year. Increase your stock Take hardwood cuttings in late autumn to propagate shrubs including roses, willows, philadelphus, weigelas and dogwoods. Cut woody shoots for the base of the current year’s growth, trim below a leaf joint and remove the tip to leave the cuttings 20-30cm (8-12in) long. Dip the base into hormone rooting powder, make a slit trench in a well cultivated but vacant area of the garden, push the cuttings in vertically, 30cm (12in) apart and firm the soil back around them, closing the trench. Water them in. This time next year they may have rooted enough to be moved. Spruce up the greenhouse If the weather’s still sunny, there’s no better time to wash the windows, remove the shading, clean the staging and do any structural repairs needed. Then you can insulate the greenhouse with bubble wrap in preparation for winter. A cleaner greenhouse may encourage you in the coming months to sow hardy annuals and perennials for the year to come.

Gardeners’ diary

This week in your garden: ● Dig up Jerusalem artichoke tubers (pictured) as required, which can be done until spring. Leave a few to produce next year's crop. In cold areas protect the crowns. ● Clear out and take under cover decorative containers that aren't frost hardy. ● Prune climbing and rambling roses and cut back the hybrid tea roses to reduce the damage from windrock. ● Prune wisterias to ensure and increase flowering next year. ● Consider installing a pond heater which will keep a small area of the

water ice-free if you keep fish. ● Check your bonfire pile for hedgehogs and toads hibernating in there. If there are, leave them in peace. ● If pots are too large to bring inside, insulate them from the cold by using either bubble wrap or horticultural fleece. ● Remove yellowing leaves from Brussels sprouts and other winter brassicas such as cabbages and broccoli. They are of no use to the plants and encourage diseases such as botrytis. ● Finish planting spring cabbages. ● Empty compost bins of well-rotted compost to mulch over borders.

Out and about

Discover the secre ts of sowing hardy peas Now is the time to sow the hardiest pea varieties such as 'Douce Provence' and 'Feltham First' for a very early crop next spring. Start them off in a spare border in the greenhouse in well-drained soil, or sow seeds in a length of old guttering drilled with drainage holes along the base. Fill to the top with seed compost and space the seeds 7.5cm (3in) apart. Keep them in the greenhouse or a cold frame, keeping the compost moist and

transplant them into the garden once they've established, digging out a shallow trench and gently sliding the seedlings into it. Cover seedlings and plants with cloches. Rows should be 30cm (12) apart and protected from birds with netting, and you'll need to add twiggy supports to stop slugs feasting on the young stems which will otherwise straggle over the ground. Keep the crop well watered and weed free. Peas should be ready for picking by May.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 8 2014

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic fixer-upper coming up for auction next month. On December 3 youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the chance to bid for Littlemeads, a detached chalet bungalow set in a glorious rural location near South Knighton, between Newton Abbot and Ashburton. The auction guide price is ÂŁ225,000. Littlemeads was constructed in the 1930s as a bungalow, and extended upwards and outwards in the 1950s. Lived in by the same owner for many decades, the property is now in need of substantial modernisation. But, says auctioneer Richard Copus, it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of a dying breedâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I came down to Devon in the 1980s, there was no shortage of properties that desperately needed major refurbishmentâ&#x20AC;?, said Richard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People queued up to buy them at auction. They were then demolished and rebuilt, or extended and brought

&86720(5 (;3(5,(1&(

into the 20th century with new kitchens, double glazing and central heating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What had been basic homes were transformed into highly desirable properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The net result of all this is that there are now very few properties left in the countryside to do up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Town and Country Planning Act 1947 still forms the bedrock of development in the countryside, and it is next to impossible to build a brand new home which does not have an agricultural tie or is a barn conversion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Properties like Littlemeads offer the purchaser the opportunity to build their dream home in a great location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Littlemeads could be renovated within its e xisting footprint, which is quite large. The property already has four bedrooms and a living room with an attractive recessed brick fireplace (right). Two of the bedrooms are in the attic. Alternatively, planning permission may be possible for demolition and the construction of a larger dwelling on the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beauty of Littlemeadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position cannot be overstated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It stands within its own gardens which have spectacular views over

Glorious location, but in need of TLC

the surrounding countryside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Immediately adjoining it is about three acres of pasture with direct access from the highway which is a little used, unclassified road.â&#x20AC;? He added that Littlemeads is in walking distance of The Welcome Stranger, a thriving pub, and about five minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drive from the A38. The auction will be at Newton Abbot Racecourse on December 3 at 1pm. For more information contact Richard on 01626 336633 or at richard.copus@woodshomes.co.uk.

26 multi-generational living

Moving in with mum and dad Many families are choosing to share a property to beat high house prices. Amanda Rainford of Exeter-based Stones Solicitors outlines some points to consider House prices in the South West are among the highest in the country relative to earnings. The ratio in Devon and in Cornwall is 8.42, while in Somerset it is 7.21. As a consequence, many of the younger generation are struggling to get on the property ladder. Equally, with people living ever longer, many children are supporting their parents or other family members in their later years. Most readers will be familiar with the idea of a ‘granny annexe’. Some properties come with suitable accommodation, but in others living space needs to be specially built. This can happen if the children want to move into their parents’ home as carers, or if finances are pooled into a larger property. Those contemplating this may find that financing such a project is currently attractive. Changes to the pension rules allowing easier access to savings may be tempting for some. In addition, some parents are buying a property together with their children and planning for the child to take sole ownership when the parent has died. Some mortgage lenders are positively encouraging such action, allowing anyone under the age of 70 to apply for a mortgage lasting 35 years.On the face of it this seems like a clever plan, but beware the complications. If you sell your home and give the money to your children so that they can build a granny annexe or they can make adjustments to the existing accommodation for you to live in, you may fall foul of income tax rules

linked to pre-owned assets. This could also apply if parents and children sell their respective homes and buy a property together, where the contribution towards the purchase price does not reflect occupation. The ‘gift with reservation of benefit’ rules should also be considered if children may move into a parent’s property. If the parent gives the property to the child but continues to live there, the rules may bite. It is possible to give up to half of the property to a child who moves in, provided the household bills are shared. In both these scenarios, there could be unanticipated inheritance tax implications if you die within seven years – in a worst case scenario, this could mean the property has to be sold. How the property is owned will need to be decided, as will whether or not it passes automatically on death or within a will. If it is the latter, then it is vital that the will is kept updated. Parents also need to consider other siblings and how they achieve fairness among all their offspring. Thoughts also need to be given about what happens if the property needs to be sold before the parent or parents die. Consider a family falling-out. Trying to sell the property when emotions are running high may well be problematic – if a written agreement has been reached at the start of the process, it will make life much easier for everyone involved. Another example is if the child

One solution may be to put in place some sort of trust to protect the asset. As we live for longer, we need to plan for what happens when we are older and less capable of running our own affairs. Powers of attorney granted to children and/or other trusted individuals ensure that, if a parent loses capacity, their affairs are carried out in good order. This is particularly vital if it comes to selling a house that has been bought jointly – if no powers of attorney are in place, then the property cannot be sold without an expensive application to the Court of Protection. At some point an ageing parent may need additional care, including being placed in a care home. Care fees can be crippling and there may be a risk that the property would need to be sold to cover these costs – at which point the child could

A fine life through the ages This Grade II listed manor house in South Devon has lovely period details from its centuries of history. The Manor is in East Ogwell near Newton Abbot, a picturesque village in South Devon. The house is approached from the south. You enter The Manor through a gabled entrance porch with seats either side, with a brick paved floor. The heavy plank door with lead light window opens into a lovely reception hall, with a flagstone floor. The door to the dining room is a Georgian panel door, and the door to the sitting room has a stained glass window insert. The generous-size sitting room has casement windows overlooking the garden, and an open fireplace with fluted Georgian surround. There are cupboards and shelving in the recess to the left of the chimney breast, perfect for showcasing crystal, china or a collection. The dining room has picture rails, casement windows and a beautifully carved minster stone fireplace. The WMN Homes team particularly loves the large country kitchen and breakfast room. It has a creamcolour oil-fired Aga, cream kitchen units with beech worktops, an exposed stone wall, casement windows, and pine wainscot panelling. There’s also an electric oven and hob, and space for a dishwasher. A utility room has a larder with double doors, beech finish work sur-

faces and shaker-style fittings. The study has built-in oak bookshelves and French windows to a sunny courtyard – this would be an idyllic place to work from home. The five double bedrooms, serviced by bath and shower rooms, are on the

upper two floors. The upper ones in particular have beautiful details such as arch windows, exposed roof trusses and purlins. Outside, The Manor has gardens and grounds of just over an acre, including mature formal gardens,

quiet areas for sitting, entertaining and dining, and gardens for cultivating vegetables. There is also a paddock for grazing and amenity use. Adjacent to the house is a twostorey stone barn, thought to date

back to the 16th century, recently used for working, storage and as a meeting room. It has potential for alternative uses, subject to consent. The Manor is for sale with Rendells, Newton Abbot, 01626 353 881, www.rendells.co.uk.

Keen pupils learn a few home truths Schoolchildren were given an early lesson in the property market with a visit to a new development. The pupils from Eden Park Primary School Academy in Brixham went to Linden Homes’ Orestone View project in Goodrington. Their assignment was to develop their persuasive writing and presentation skills. The 120 children, all aged nine to 11, were shown floor plans and development layouts, viewed a completed show home and listened to tips on how to market new homes. Teacher Suzie Green said: “There was a real buzz when we left Linden

Homes. The children loved looking around the show home and the inspiration they gained has been reflected in their attitudes and work, so it was a very valuable visit. “We have asked the children to design a concept board to sell their own homes – taking photos and writing about them. “These will be displayed at Boyce Brixham estate agents and at the site’s marketing suite.” Emma Mackay from Linden Homes said that the next generation will definitely keep their elders on their toes. “Some of the pupils asked really

interesting questions and made some imaginative suggestions – it’s great to see them so inspired,” she said. Linden Homes is creating 100 contemporary homes on the Goodrington site, with a range of two, three and four-bedroom homes in a traditional seaside setting. The houses have great views of the Ore Stone in the bay. You can see more details on www.lindenhomes.co.uk.

30 holiday homes Homes with holiday letting potential selected by Gill Nicholls of Helpful Holidays The Pavilion, South Horrington, Somerset, £350,000

This photogenic, semi-detached cottage converted from the local cricket pavilion has glorious views over surrounding countryside and, with easy access from the M5, is great for touring. I would anticipate it achieving in the region of £14,000 over 30 weeks. Agents: Greenslade Taylor Hunt, Wells, 01749 605605, www.gth.net

Haymans, Kerswell, Devon, £445,000

Yule love pretty Whether it’s a big family Christmas or a ‘bah humbug’ retreat, there’s a holiday home to suit everyone. What about hiring for the holidays? Gillian Molesworth finds out how Christmas means different things to different people. For some, it’s a lovely time for the family to gather all together, or to get together with friends. Others prefer to spend the event more quietly. The Christmas holidays can be a great time of year to hire a property, even if you aren’t going far. If you don’t have enough space to host a crowd (or if you’d rather not do all the work that comes with entertaining), you can hire a big home, and get the guests to chip in for the cost. It’s more fun than a hotel, especially if you love cooking the Christmas feast. Christmas can be an emotional time of year for many people, who may have lost a loved one or have another reason to want to get away from it all. Luckily, the Westcountry is blessed with a wealth of properties perfect for a beautiful and quiet retreat. Whether it’s a cottage tucked in a valley setting or a contemporary waterside apartment, your ideal rental is out there. Here are a few properties we selected for when you don’t want to be home for Christmas: THE BIG FAMILY CHRISTMAS Parnacott, Holsworthy, West Devon

There is potential for a games room in the studio of this detached Victorian house, adding appeal for a large family or several couples enjoying this unspoilt area. I anticipate it achieving an income around £18,000 over 30 weeks. Agents: Seddons, Cullompton, 01884 32100, www.seddons.com

Coombe Cottage, St Keverne, Cornwall, £450,000

Here’s a Christmas home worthy of Scrooge’s irrepressibly jolly nephew, Fred Holywell, and primed for a visitation from the Ghost of Christmas Present. You’ll have a marvellous time decking the halls of this Grade II listed Georgian mansion in unspoiled West Devon, still furnished with high-class

furniture and family portraits. There’s a formal dining room perfect for the holiday feast and a grown-up drawing room for civilised lounging. There’s a children’s room

You’ll have a marvellous time decking the halls of a Grade II listed Georgian mansion with toys, dressing-up boxes and a puppet theatre – and a PlayStation 2, Wii and pool table. Sleeps 14, from £2,995 per week. THE COUNTRY IDYLL Gibhouse, near Drewsteignton, Dartmoor For those that love the beauty of nature, it doesn’t get much more picturesque than this truly idyllic thatched cottage which is near Drewsteignton with valley views. Gibhouse is 200 yards from a stretch

of the River Teign at the entrance to Fingle Gorge – Fingle Bridge is just 1.5 miles by footpath. The cottage has pretty furnishings, with a cosy living and dining room, with an open fireplace perfect for warming up after a bracing walk. With a ground floor bedroom, it is suitable for wheelchairs. It welcomes dogs – but not children. Sleeps four, from £1,035 per week. THE MARITIME RETREAT Drift Cottage, Turnchapel near Plymouth You may like a change of scene at Christmas, and Drift Cottage is

This pretty cottage, a short walk from the pub and shops, would be wonderful for beach holidays or relaxing at any time of year. I estimate it could achieve around £19,000 over 30 weeks. Agents: Stags, Truro, 01872 264488, www.stags.co.uk The estimated income figures above are net of VAT and agency fees, but not running costs.

Ask the experts Your holiday let questions answered Q. Is social media important for generating bookings? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; RK, Bodmin A. Katie Treseder, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: Social media is about connecting with people. Sites such as Facebook and Twitter promote communication and create online â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;communitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with common interests which businesses are eager to reach to promote their products. An active presence on social media can impact on the visibility of your website and its position in search engines, such as Google. The goal is to ensure that your website is among the top results when people search for your product. However, be cautious when considering social media to promote your holiday home. Effort, persistence and continuity are needed to build social media visibility. Do you have time and resources to write new content and manage feedback? When uploading information, double check accuracy and grammar; once posted errors are difficult to correct. Helpful Holidays invests considerable resources in social media, with a dedicated team of professionals responsible for developing content and monitoring feedback. Think about your audience. Who do you want to connect with? Other methods of marketing might be more productive.

Picturesque and tranquil, Gibhouse near Drewsteignton will be ideal for lovers of nature certainly a special one. Once a pilot boat house, this contemporary conversion is right on the water in the historic location of Turnchapel, where the River Plym meets Plymouth Sound. It has outstanding and everchanging views across busy Plymouth harbour towards the city. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private and quiet, but just a ferry ride away to the restaurants, museums and theatres of the city. Wake up to a maritime view on Christmas Day, and relax in the living room in front of the 19th century warshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burner, which now makes up the open fire. Sleeps six, from ÂŁ1,106 per week.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 8 2014

Helpful Holidaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; standard damages deposit is ÂŁ100 per booking, but can be more should an owner request it. We find holding a damages deposit encourages holidaymakers to look after a property and it is unusual for an owner to need to ask us to withhold it. However, owners feel reassured that in the rare eventuality there is more damage than is reasonable or their property requires significantly more cleaning, financial recompense is available. The better the quality of a holiday cottage and the more attention to detail an owner devotes to it, the more guests

respect and take care of it. Inevitably, holiday letting means some routine â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wear and tearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and minor accidental breakages, for which it is unreasonable to impose a charge; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to factor in regular redecorating, spring cleaning and the replacement of minor items when you are estimating your running costs.

Q. We let a large house. Is it worth applying for a wedding licence and what is involved? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; JH, Exeter A. Bev Plunkett, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: Couples are increasingly choosing unusual venues in which to hold civil marriages and partnerships, from theatres to manor houses. When considering applying for a licence for your holiday home, remember there are rules and regulations which can be difficult to comply with in a private house. Apply to your local authority for the prior agreement from the superintendent registrar. The premises you are thinking of using must be easily identifiable and accessible, in excellent repair, and not a temporary structure, such as a marquee. The local authority has to be sure that the premises are appropriate for the significance of the ceremony. The room in which the ceremony takes place must be kept separate from other activities and there must be an additional room for pre-questioning by the registrar. The premises must have public access to ensure that people who wish to voice objections can do so. Health and safety measures need to be taken, along with a visit from the local fire authority. If you have a question for our holiday home experts, please send it via email to: wmnproperty@ westernmorningnews.co.uk

The Coach House is a lovely equestrian property at Little Trewince, near Stithians. It is a substantial six-bedroom house, set in about 32 acres of paddock and woodland. There is a bright modern kitchen. Agents: Jackson-Stops and Staff, Truro 01872 261160, www.jacksonstops.co.uk

You just know when you’ve found ‘the one’. Supportive, and always there for you when you need comfort, a snuggle or just to relax. Your sofa that is. Did you think I was talking about a man? You’ll probably live with it for ten years or more, so it’s important to choose your sofa well. Here’s what the experts say: GET THE MEASURE Charlie Marshall, founder of Loaf: “I’m a fan of sofas which are big enough to lounge around on and super comfy, with deeper seat cushions than average, so they’re inviting to curl up on. “Measure your room before shopping, so you choose a sofa to fit the space and scale of the room. When you have one in mind, make a paper template of it and lay it out in the room to help you visualise the reality of its size, as display sofas always look smaller in large showrooms.” CHECK OUT PATTERN

This well-presented home is on the fringe of Parracombe, a popular Exmoor village. It has four bedrooms and is suitable for dual occupancy. Agents: Stags, Barnstaple 01271 322 833, www.stags.co.uk

Helen Leigh-Jones, designer at DFS, said: “Don’t be afraid to really push the boundaries when it comes to choosing seating – it’s outdated to have everything match. “Create an eclectic look by mixing colours and patterns, so a sofa upholstered in a plain fabric could be paired with a leather armchair, or

a patterned footstool. Comfort is also key, so sit on a variety of sofas so you really find the one that suits you.” PLUMP FOR LOVE Kate Hassard, marketing manager at Sofa.com, said: “A sofa, like a bed, is

Expect to pay from £800 for a quality piece which will last one of the few home items used daily and the centrepiece of a living area, so expect to pay from £800 upwards for a quality piece which will last. “ Do remember to avoid cheap versions, because foam-filled cushions really will flatten fast – plump for feathers. “Fabrics should have a ‘rub count’ of more than 20,000 for durability. If you have small children or pets, consider loose covers which can be removed and washed.”

huge impact on a room, so take your time and decide whether your priority is style or comfort. “In large rooms, small sofas can look lost. High-backed sofas with upholstered arms need more space around them, while a low-back slimmer sofa can be more discreet, and won’t block a view. L-shaped sofas can work well in a compact space, or act as room-dividers.” BUTTON IT Paul Staden, head of marketing at Sofa Workshop, said: “A sofa needs to be designed from the ground up, with the best and most appropriate materials used for the frames, springs and fillings. “Think about how you will use your sofa. If you like to stretch out, choose one with low, padded arms for a headrest. Remember that one long four-seater could be two twoseaters, depending on how many people will regularly use them.”
