NORMAN Villa is a stunning Victorian home within the peaceful hamlet of Watertown, just outside Appledore.

The period home has been recently refurbished throughout to combine character charm with contemporary finishes. It enjoys captivating panoramic views across Northam Burrows, and benefits from off road parking, an over ground swimming pool and generous grounds. A detached workshop could be converted to further accommodation subject to

£535,000 planning permission.

Watertown is situated between the highly popular villages of Westward Ho! and Appledore, sat just on the edge of Northam Burrows. Appledore is a quaint fishing village with shops, pubs and restaurants, while Westward Ho! boasts a sandy surfing beach and village amenities. Bideford is a short drive away and has more extensive facilities, while Barnstaple is 10 miles away.

Arranged over three storeys, the accommodation is spacious with five

bedrooms. The ground floor accommodation opens into a hallway, with a charming sitting room with a feature fireplace off to the left. The sitting room can be opened out into the dining room behind, which is currently used as a music room.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been recently and sympathetically refitted to offer modern conveniences in keeping with a house of this period. A feature gas wood burner gives a cosy feel, while there is also ample storage, an integrated double cooker, a dish-

Editor’s Pick: The Mill House, Lee THE Mill House is an historic home with direct beach access, enjoying private frontage to the Atlantic Ocean at Lee. The charming, grade two listed property dates from 1572 and is built on rock, with elevations of stone beneath a slate roof and many period features within. As the name suggests, the property was originally built as a corn mill and bakery, but has also been a tea room. For a long period of time, the property was a residence and for the last 16 years, a second home. It has previously been used as a holiday let and produced a strong income.

The property has also featured in a number of publications including The Guardian’s Top 20 Easter Breaks, Daily Mail’s Win a Dream Holiday Home competition, ITV’s Good Morning’s Mini Cookery Series with Lisa Faulkner and is also the opening scene to the TV commercial for On The Market property website.

As the only property adjoining the beach at Lee Bay, The Mill House enjoys dramatic front line sea views in a private location. Lee itself is a small coastal village, quietly tucked away in a deep combe on the dramatic North Devon coastline. It boasts a church, a village hall and a pub as well as many beautiful walks.

Woolacombe, with its award-winning beach, and Ilfracombe, with more extensive amenities, are both around three miles away.

The accommodation can be accessed via the front courtyard which leads into the lounge. An open fireplace and slate flooring

Trust the local experts

OIEO £1,000,000 gives the room much character, and it also enjoys delightful bay views.

The sitting room also has similar features and views.

The dining room has access to the terrace via a drawbridge and has a stepladder to a galleried mezzanine area above, currently arranged as a fifth bedroom but is equally suitable for a study.

A door leads from the dining room to the kitchen, fitted with an excellent range of modern units in pale biscuit and washed aqua, with granite work surfaces over. Appliances include an integrated dishwasher, a washer/dryer, an American-style fridge freezer, a ceramic hob, a microwave and a double oven. A central island

Stags: 01271 322833

provides additional preparation space while underfloor heating gives a cosy feel.

Two sets of stairs lead from the sitting room to the first floor. One leads to a landing with a bathroom, two bedrooms, a shower room and a cloakroom off. The first bedroom enjoys delightful views and painted wood panelled walls.

The other staircase leads to a linen room and two other bedrooms, both with bay views.

Outside the home is an adjoining boiler house accommodating a biomass boiler system and a 500-litre water tank. The installation is registered with the Renewable Heat Incentive for a further 18 years, attracting payments currently in

the region of £3,000 to £4,000 a year.

There is also an off road parking bay, a front walled courtyard and a pedestrian gate leading into the rear garden. Laid to lawn with mature borders, the garden runs along the rear of the property where there is also a number of trees and a galleried terrace – the perfect place for enjoying the sea views. Steps lead down to a lower terrace leading directly out to the beach.

The Mill House is an historic, characterful home in an unrivalled coastal position. It is being sold by informal tender, with bids accepted no later than midday on Friday, February 26.

IT’S been a great start to 2016 for Marsdens Devon Cottages, the Braunton-based agency that has more than 40 years’ experience of letting holiday cottages throughout North Devon, Exmoor and beyond.

“At Marsdens, we are absolutely delighted to report that during the first week in January, we took our highest number of bookings in a week ever and experienced a 10% increase in total bookings, compared to the same period last year,” said Oliver McCarron, business development manager at Marsdens Devon Cottages.

Letting through an experienced agent is the best way to achieve the highest possible booking levels when letting your property as a holiday cottage, and Marsdens Devon Cottages is always proud of its outstanding booking record.

■ EXCEPTIONAL bookings for this charming character cottage – Williams Cottage in Bucks Mill near Clovelly.

“It’s a testament to the quality of our properties, the hard work of our local team and the fact that we are continually investing in the marketing of our cottages through high ranking websites, regular direct email campaigns and attendance at national, regional and local shows and events,” added Oliver.

■ NEW FOR 2016 – The Farthings, Ilfracombe.

Marsdens Devon Cottages is always looking to expand its portfolio of more than 350 VisitEngland graded self-catering properties it can offer its holiday makers.

“We offer competitive commission rates for a bespoke professional service and high levels of bookings,” said Oliver. “If you have a property you feel would make a fantastic holiday home, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to arrange a noobligation visit, by calling 01271 813777 or e-mail o.mccarron@marsdens.co.uk.

Interior design

Eat your heart out Hungry for your dream kitchen?

Gabrielle Fagan serves up some design recipes guaranteed to stir up interest THERE’S no doubt kitchens are the centre of our homes, but although they’re the area we choose to spend the most time, either eating or socialising, it seems all too few of us have our ‘dream’ space.

Around 65% of Brits feel their current kitchen is far from ideal – with its inadequacies most exposed during the pressure-cooker stress of Christmas – and around a quarter struggle with a cramped or awkward shaped room, while 25% bemoan a lack of work surfaces, according recent research by Wickes.

Aside from the benefits of enjoying this space more – and potentially being able to cook up a storm – it could be worth reconsidering a refit on financial grounds alone, as it’s the most popular way to add value to a property, estimated by experts at around 15%.

■ TM Italia kitchen, from £40,000, available from Hub Kitchens.

Get the look Betta Living: 0808 163 1524/bettaliving.co.uk Cloudberry Living: 0330 123 3301/ cloudberryliving.co.uk The Chandelier & Mirror Company: 01892 541 355/ chandeliersandmirrors.co.uk Davonport: 0845 468 0025/davonport.com Harvey Jones: 0800 389 7365/harveyjones.com Hub Kitchens: 020 7924 2285/hubkitchens.com Ikea: ikea.com Marks & Spencer: 0333 014 8000/ marksandspencer.com Neptune: 01793 427 300/Neptune.com Rational: 01543 459 459/rational.de/en Rigby & Mac: 020 8761 1011/rigbyandmac.com Voga: voga.com Wickes: 0330 123 4123/wickes.co.uk

“It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when trying to choose a kitchen,” says Daniele Brutto of Hub Kitchens, specialists in Italian-inspired design. “There are so many materials, colours and finishes in the market at the moment, but what’s important is focusing on what will work for you and your space.

Pick something you like, which could be a particular wall colour, a floor tile or work surface texture and work outwards from there. Keeping one element at the heart of your design will make the whole process much more straightforward.”

Take comfort from the fact that size isn’t everything, according to Brutto, who says small spaces can still look stylish if a scheme is kept simple and every inch of space is exploited. “Custom-made cabinets can conceal day-to-day appliances when they’re not in use, while it’s also possible to maximise preparation areas by using worktops which cover sinks or extend.

“It’s all about marrying imagination with innovative design and creating a calm, relaxed environment, where it’s a pleasure to work and play.”

See what’s on the menu for kitchens this year, and choose your own style recipe...

MODERN MENU Shades of grey or cool blue will give a kitchen an ultramodern look and can be enlivened with either a colourful splashback, or add a warming glow with copper metallic accessories.

“The general trend still continues for the kitchen to literally be the heart of the home, and grey is still a massive colour trend, whether it’s used for unit fronts or even grey grouting in between tiles,” says Wickes design consultant, Simon Burton.

“A kitchen has to be a practical, user-friendly space, but is also regarded as an area to socialise, so open-plan designs, incorporating a kitchen and dining/living area, are still a

top choice. One great way to enhance a social feel is to have built-in music speakers.” ● DECOR TIP: Lighting plinths and under cabinets, as well as zoning islands and peninsulas with pendants, easily allows a mood to adapt from cooking to entertaining or relaxing. Wickes Flexi LED Kitchen Strip Light Set, £100, can be fixed to the underside of units or pelmets. Cloudberry Living has a grey Northern Lighting Acorn Pendant, £285. ● STYLE RECIPE: A handsome Tiverton Slate solid oak kitchen, with a deep grey finish, is bang on trend and starts from £3,400 (based on an eight unit example), Wickes. If your taste is more contemporary, Betta Living’s Horizon kitchen, in anthracite, starts from £4,899 and is handle-less, which is increasingly fashionable and conjures a sleek look.

If you want to take a kitchen with you when you move, or need to make the most of a compact space, invest in a sleek standalone Vision kitchen from Rational, which start at £3,000 (excluding appliances).

For a finishing flourish, add a Copper White Wall Clock, £55, Rigby & Mac (re-stocked February).

WALK IN THE WOODS Natural materials rule in decor, and showcasing rich wood grain and stunning stone worktops – marble through to slate – brings personality and ultimate luxury to a room.

“The real trend at the mo-

■ THE Suffolk kitchen, in navy, from £9,000, available from Neptune. ment for finishes is subtle, textural differences to give real depth, which will break up the monotone nature of surfaces.

We’re going to see more use of natural exotic stones such as marble, slate and granite,” says Brutto.

“We’ll see an even greater emphasis on the use of natural timbers, and there are some amazing timber veneers coming onto the market, which give cabinetry a rich, warm feel.

The trend for mixing and matching veneers with harsher surrounds, such as concrete, steel and iron, will also feature strongly this year.” ● DECOR TIP: A recent survey by property agents Strutt & Parker revealed that nearly 16% of people place an island

kitchen, or one with a peninsula, at the top of their wishlist when seeking a new home.

As a guide, designers recommend a walkway of at least one metre on all sides of an island, and often more for ease-of-use.

A Hub kitchen, incorporating an island, starts from £40,000. ● STYLE RECIPE: Curved lines, natural timbers and painted finishes are showcased in a Canterbury solid oak, hand-painted kitchen, with bespoke engraving of drawer categories, from around £35,000, Davonport. If that’s beyond the budget, Betta Living’s Shaker kitchen design, in oak, starts from £5,186.

Free-standing pieces can conjure a more informal atmosphere, and Marks & Spen-

cer’s Padstow range includes a Wine Rack in an oak veneer and painted finish, reduced to £439.20 from £549.

Utility lighting’s all very well but for glamour, you can’t beat a chandelier. The Leila, reduced to £250.75 from £295, is one of the beauties from The Chandelier & Mirror Company.

Islands and peninsulas call for casual seating and you can bag a designer bargain at Voga: a Series 7 Barstool, inspired by Arne Jacobsen design, in laminated plywood and beech, £212.

A PERFECT BALANCE Mixing modern and old-style materials, and using accents of black and charcoal to add definition, achieves a chic look which suits a country ‘kick off

your wellies’ setting, just as much as an edgy industrialstyle urban loft.

“We believe a successful kitchen should feel like an organic part of a home, not a bolton or trend-conscious space.

Instead, it should be a zone in harmony with our style and taste, and designed to totally suit our lifestyle. Contrast in colour or texture is particularly effective, for instance, rough brick set against a plaster wall, or a tiled effect below an open raftered ceiling,” says John Sims-Hilditch, Neptune managing director.

“This timeless look has enduring appeal, never goes out of fashion and looks better as it ages. Breaking up a run of wall cupboards with open shelving

or glass-fronted upper cabinets is a useful design option, creating fluidity and an impression of more space.” ● DECOR TIP: Door and drawer fronts will make or break a room. The three main factors to consider are style, colour and handles – but don’t overlook practicality in your desire for a particular look. For instance, for high wall cupboards, mechanical flip-up doors might be more suitable and larger handles are easier to grasp. And bear in mind that high-gloss finishes may show marks and fingerprints, plus matt finishes are a trend-savvy choice this year. ● Neptune’s Chichester kitchen, from £8,000, is a simple design which blends classic

lines with traditional details and crisp silhouettes, and can be painted in any colour of choice, while the company’s Suffolk kitchen, from £9,000, is based on an East Anglian tradition of furniture-making and its characteristics include generous proportions, carved oak shelves and base cabinet units.

Harvey Jones’ bespoke kitchens range includes a Shaker design, which starts from £18,000. It features simple panelling detail and can be painted or designed in an oak or walnut finish.

Bring the outdoors in with collections of plants or herbs, faux or real, to suit this relaxed setting. Ikea’s range of Fejka artificial plants, £6 each, in assorted styles, look great.

Seacrest, Northam

£625,000

Regency: 01237 422433

SEACREST is an individual, detached home enjoying breathtaking coastal views from one of Northam’s most sought after residential roads.

The four double bedroom residence has been considerably improved by the current owners in recent years and now offers superbly presented accommodation throughout, with coastal views towards Lundy from principal rooms and the garden.

Located in a highly favourable and elevated position on Bay View Road, the property is half a mile from Northam’s village centre and its health centre, shops, public houses and swimming pool.

The renowned surfing beach at Westward Ho! and the Royal North Devon Gold Club are within easy reach, while Bideford is only a few miles away and provides further amenities.

A spacious entrance hall leads off to a delightful lounge, where a floor to ceiling picture window takes full advantage of the coastal views. A fully fitted, modern kitchen/dining room also benefits from the views and has a large patio door leading onto the rear garden.

A separate dining room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the front garden and could be used as a fourth bedroom, while a well-appointed bathroom complements the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the master bedroom enjoys the stunning views and has access onto a large balcony, as well as the advantage of an adjoining dressing room leading into a good sized en suite bathroom.

An additional double bedroom with an en suite shower room would make a perfect guest room and takes full advantage of the coastal views via patio doors which in turn lead onto the balcony.

A further large double bedroom overlooks the front of the property and enjoys distant countryside views, while a family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation.

Seacrest’s outside space has been as immaculately maintained as the interior of the property. Electric double entrance gates lead onto a large block paved driveway, providing ample off road parking for five vehicles. A large lawned garden is surrounded by a wealth of flowers, shrubs and bushes, while a detached double garage sits away from the property.

The attractive rear garden takes advantage of the superb views with a timber decked seating area being the perfect place to sit and relax. There is also a level lawn, flowers and shrubs and a sheltered vegetable garden.

Seacrest is an impressive and spacious home with delightful sea views.

Bushnell & Green is a Property Sharing Expert estate agency AS part of the biggest network of independent estate agencies in the South West, Bushnell & Green shares its properties with the other 80+ PSE offices throughout the region, from St Ives to Portland and Bristol, creating what is effectively a multi-agency service where all agents work together to sell homes for clients.

This way, each member of the network has the ability to provide unparalleled market-

Visitors to the exhibition will be looking for a diverse

selection of property – as ‘forever’ and retirement homes to live in as well as investment and holiday homes.

The event will be advertised in the Evening Standard and Metro as well as regional London publications, in all 80+ PSE and Lawsons & Daughters offices and on all our web sites as well as the main PSE and Distinctly Westcountry sites,

on all property details and on social media including Facebook and Twitter, to attract as many visitors as possible.
