... to the nineteenth edition of our “at home in the West Country” magazine. The winter, well thank goodness that is behind us! I am sure most of us have seen more rain than we can ever possibly care for and as the sun breaks through the flowers are beginning to bloom and the young lambs are gambolling in the fields. We can all at least now take a deep breath and look forward with a smile to hopefully a wonderful Spring and Summer ahead. There was no doubt the winter caused a delay to the start of the country property market, in part due to the awful flooding on the Somerset levels or the railway closures at Dawlish but in reality the West Country remained open for business but the media coverage just meant that buyers stayed away, fearing the worst. However, that has all changed with home owners already feeling more positive, placing some really lovely homes onto the market through our offices. At the same time buyers are feeling more confident about coming down to the area to view homes for sale.

Page 35, Nr. Croyde

The national media coverage on the strength of the property market is welcome, though do remember that just because London prices may have gone up by 12% (35% in some specific roads) that does not mean that West Country prices have gone up by the same amount (4.8% by Land Registry stats) and likely to rise by about 5-8% during the course of the rest of the calendar year. So, if you are thinking of selling, by all means be optimistic, but just temper it with some realism and, if you are buying, remember the market is improving and prices are not static or falling. If you have a budget then please remember that in 6-12 months’ time that budget may not buy you the same house as it does right now.

Page 41, Taw Valley

As always, Good Luck and happy house hunting and selling.

Napoleon Wilcox @FineandCountry1

Position Director and Head of Webbers Fine & Country Experience 29 Years

Our local offices have once again been instructed to sell some superb homes ready for the Spring market. The variety is also very encouraging including Manor Houses, stunning country homes, really isolated cottages, thatched homes, homes with letting cottages, equestrian homes, coastal homes and almost everything else in between. Whether prices are rising partly depends on where you set the benchmark in the first place? Properties coming onto the market right now are getting good genuine interest if priced correctly, others already on the market for some time are seeing offers below their asking price, particularly where either the agent or owner were over ambitious with the price in the first place, (the market needs time to “catch up”). Overall we expect the market to be steady with encouraging levels of offers and interest from buyers with stable and sensible increases during the coming months. This will only happen where home owners are realistic about where the market is for their home and pitch their price sensibly in light of the real sales activity within their area, rather than the perceived activity that can and will still be hyped by the national press.

Position Director, Fine & Country North Devon Experience 38 Years

I am delighted to report a significant upturn in the country homes market particularly in the last few weeks. In the busy years before the economic crash we saw a fairly constant stream of home buyers moving westwards from the Home Counties looking for a lifestyle change. In the post-crash years this volume decreased quite significantly but there is now a definite resurgence and I anticipate this will continue to grow in the weeks and months ahead. I am optimistic for the future particularly as we head towards the Spring and early Summer months, which is traditionally the best time of year to achieve a sale. With the recent bouts of good weather here in North Devon an air of confidence is spreading amongst buyers, sellers and agents alike. As is always the case we are on hand to advise on any property matter and our Fine & Country department, now well established, continues to go from strength to strength. Our marketing for country homes includes bespoke brochures with high quality photography, floor plans and details. We also offer extensive coverage on all of the main property portals and representation in the Fine & Country office on Park Lane, Mayfair in the heart of the capital. As part of the Fine & Country marketing all properties listed with us are displayed through touch screen technology in the London office so as to reach maximum coverage in the capital. Typically our Fine & Country brand embraces several hundred offices worldwide and is aimed at the top end property, which in our region embraces country cottages, through to rural homes with land, manor houses, former rectories and many more. I hope you enjoy this latest edition of our At Home in the West Country magazine and please do remember that we are here to help on any property related matter. If we can assist you then please do contact me.

CORNWALL Name ANDREW JEFFERY PPNAEA (Honoured) FNAVA Contact Bodmin Telephone 01208 76800

Position Associate Director, Fine & Country Cornwall Experience 46 Years

The end of 2013 produced one of the best quarter’s yet for some time in country sales in Cornwall. Property sellers have at last taken note of price trends and have reacted positively for the need to adjust their prices downwards in many cases. Many properties had languished on the market for a long time and the prices had then become historic. The results were very good combined with greater optimism over the economy with sales happening almost up to Christmas. However the New Year market conditions needs no explanation from me. The extreme weather almost wrote off the first six weeks or so of the New Year in country property sales and it was quite understandable that nobody wanted to travel in the circumstances and to be quite frank, very few vendors considered their properties appealing in such atrocious conditions and were somewhat relieved not to be having viewing visitors. As I write this report the worst of the weather has now gone and the market has quickly reverted back to conditions we found at the end of last year with high levels of viewings, positive attitude by viewers and buyers with good results now in the pipeline. The days of buyers now saying our properties are overpriced or they would sit back and wait for a further decline in values have gone and prospects for the Spring market are looking hopeful. It seems we are now heading back to better days when we need good quality country property instructions especially those with land and a second income stream from holiday lets. With our experienced team here in Cornwall we feel able to offer you the best advice, a quick positive and most importantly enthusiastic service to get you a good result.

Fine & Country FEATURE Chislehurst, kent

An elegant mix of classic and contemporary architecture situated in Chislehurst, only 13 miles from the centre of london, whilst enjoying all the benefits of being in london's greenest borough.

Our Favourite Room

The property started life as an 1800's Victorian merchant’s villa and the current owners had the vision to remodel and transform it into a fabulous family home, which is an elegant mix of classic and contemporary architecture.

The fully glazed orangery/family room at the back of the house offers panoramic views of the garden and pool complex and is very much at the heart of the house where the owners have spent many happy hours.

Fantastic for entertaining with its inter connecting reception rooms, a cinema/games room to the lower ground floor and pool house/gym overlooking the swimming pool.

Conveniently located with Chislehurst Station only ¾ of a mile with its excellent links into London Bridge (from 18 mins) and Cannon Street (from 26 mins).

The house offers approximately 6,000 square foot of accommodation and its clever use of full height glazing and feature windows give a distinctive style. All five bedrooms have ensuite facilities, with the master bedroom being an amazing space as described in our favourite room.

“When we created our wonderful home we wanted to ensure we had a little luxury for ourselves and did just that with what is in our opinion an amazing master bedroom suite with a stunning vaulted double height ceiling.This allowed us to have a mezzanine level with a feature bath overlooking the bedroom, giving that chic boutique hotel atmosphere. On top of that we also included a large en-suite shower room. It's a fabulous space for us to relax and unwind.”

Meeting Scott shortly after moving to Cornwall with his family, the partnership was born.

They are able to supply fresh venison, rabbit, partridge, pheasant, wood pigeon and woodcock. Until recently, the most popular product was their diced venison, snapped up by both the general public and commercial clients, including Grumpies of Cornwall who use it for a pie that is stocked by Harrods. With the warmer weather, sales of Duchy Game’s barbecuefriendly products, such as sausages, burgers and venison haunch steaks, shoot up. Scott says “It’s something different,

15g flour 1 tbsp tomato paste 300ml vegetable stock

Everything is

small when it’s young. Another problem is that most people think of venison as having a really strong flavour, and to be fair a lot of the farmed stuff you get in the supermarket will have. We try to advise how different species have different flavours, but the best thing is for people to try it. First-time customers return, often the very next week, and say they couldn’t believe it. Venison is higher in iron and vitamin B than beef and lower in fat. It’s versatile and, another thing that surprises customers, it’s very affordable. We’re trying to make it a part of people’s everyday diet.” Duchy Game currently sell their 400g packs of venison sausages for £3, including varieties like apple, red wine and garlic, chorizo or gluten free. Pheasants and the other birds are all sold oven-ready.

Method

Preheat oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. Marinate the venison in the wine , carrots, onion, bay leaf and juniper for 24 hour s.

Remove the meat from the marinad e, reserving the marinade. Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan . Add the drained venison and gen tly brown. Add the sliced onion, thyme and sugar, reduce the heat and cont inue to cook slowly until the onion pieces are soft. Add the flour and tomato paste and cook for a couple of minutes. Then add the reserved marinade and stir whilst slowly adding the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer unt il the venison is cooked and fall ing apart and the sauce well-reduced, abou t 20/25 mins. Stir in the mushroo ms and check the seasoning.

Place the venison mixture in the bottom of a pie dish and allow it to cool. Then top it with the puff pastry, cutting off the excess to leave a 1cm overhang. A pair of skewers inserted crossways into the pastry will keep it from sagging. Brush with the egg yolk and bake for 15/20 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden and the fillin g is hot. Serve with braised red cabbage and winter salad leaves. Enjoy!

supply their wild Cornish produce to top eateries right across the UK. Whilst it is still early days, the response from the home turf is certainly encouraging. As Scott concludes “So many people come up to us at the market and ask if our produce is farmed. They’re so happy when they learn that it’s not. We’re living off the land, which in my opinion is how it’s meant to be.”
