REVIEW

Ask the expert

…sales agent

What do I need to do to win a sealed bid?

Stuart Bailey, head of Knight Frank Belgravia, replies...

Start by ignoring the guide price. If a property is going to sealed bids in the first place, it is because the price is probably not that accurate, either deliberately or otherwise. In any event, you must do your own due diligence and try to consider the real value objectively, and then whether you wish to pay a premium if necessary. Don’t be too distracted by figures, though, as the agent will also be advising the seller as to which buyer is most likely to exchange contracts successfully and cross the finishing line. So a high bid alone will not suffice. The fewer conditions attached to the offer the better. I would also ensure the written offer letter comes direct from your instructed solicitor and clearly details the offer. A halfhearted two liner from the solicitor will not suffice. To be taken seriously, I would offer a non-refundable deposit to formally buy some time in which to have an exclusive contract, say 10 working days. Ultimately, be brave with the figure but not reckless, and make sure you can deliver otherwise you won’t be taken seriously next time.

LONDON PROPERTY

REVIEW

marketview Suddenly there is a new star on the prime central London map, reports property finder Robert Bailey. I don’t think many people have even considered Tyburn to be a neighbourhood until recently as it was sort of labelled Bayswater and Marylebone borders. More recently, though, it has emerged as its own distinct district with a character all its own. London historians, of course, are all too familiar with Tyburn as it is the site of the infamous Tyburn Tree, where many of London’s mass executions took place. Common criminals shared the same fate as noblemen, rebels and numerous Catholic martyrs at a site that is marked today by a plaque in the middle of the traffic island on the corner of Oxford Street and Edgware Road. Given its past, it is little wonder Tyburn lost its identity. It became much more fashionable to say one lived in Marylebone or even Marble Arch than to claim to be a Tyburn resident. Arguably, Tony Blair started Tyburn’s renaissance when he purchased a large house in Connaught Square shortly before he left office. This beautiful square rivals any in Mayfair for its architecture and landscaping. At the time, Blair came in for quite a bit of criticism with many people asking, “Why on earth did he buy there?” In fact, his purchase turned out to be quite canny because since his purchase the area has undergone a dramatic revival and has been rebranded by some estate agents as ‘Connaught Village’. The area does have quite a villagey atmosphere with a beautiful array of shops along Connaught Street. More recently people have woken up to the fact that in terms of prices per square foot, Tyburn is considerably cheaper than neighbouring Notting Hill or Mayfair, yet still has the grand Georgian and early Victorian houses that are coveted by international buyers. Connaught Square is just one of many beautiful garden squares in the area, with Gloucester Square, Cambridge Square and Hyde Park Square rivalling any in Notting Hill or even Belgravia. It was inevitable that Tyburn would be discovered, especially given its proximity to Paddington station and the Heathrow Express. It is within walking distance of Hyde Park, Mayfair and Oxford Street and Selfridges is the local shop. It could not be more central but the thing I like most is the fact that even though it is very international, people live there all year round. People know their neighbours and participate in local events. As central London becomes increasingly transient, that kind of village feel is a draw in and of itself.

Chapter & Verse Isabel Lacey, Head of Savills Marylebone Lettings, presents her personal guide to Marylebone ATTRACTIONS Marylebone is increasingly sought after by domestic and international tenants and buyers alike. With the regeneration of Marylebone High Street, Seymour Place and New Quebec Street, and fantastic international schools, Marylebone is becoming one of the most popular areas to live in the heart of London. The distinct village atmosphere of Marylebone is a real rarity in central London and creates a strong sense of community among the residents and businesses in the area. An annual summer fair is held on the High Street in addition to garden square parties and weekly farmers markets. Marylebone enjoys the greenery of Hyde Park and Regent’s Park as well as the beautiful garden squares which are archetypal to this area. SHOPS There are typical high street stores such as Whistles, Catah Kidston and Conran nestled alongside high-end boutiques and local farmers shops. The most famous shops are the Ginger Pig butcher, which offers butchery classes as well as fantastic sausage rolls, terrines and cured meats, and also Kabiri on the High Street, which showcases the best in jewellery with collections changing on a regular basis.

RESTAURANTS Marylebone has a wealth of good restaurants and is particularly popular with those who like fine dining, from Le Relais de Venise L’Entrecote on Marylebone Lane or new restaurant Slabs on New Cavendish Street. LEISURE Regent’s Park is located just a short way from Marylebone and is great for those who like to exercise in the outdoors. For those who prefer gyms, The Third Space on Bulstrode Place is incredibly popular with local residents. SCHOOLS Marylebone has a wealth of fantastic schools including Wetherby Prep School on Bryanston Square and Portland Place School, to name a couple. TRANSPORT Marylebone is ideally situated for the tube at Baker Street, Marble Arch and Bond Street, with good access by car out to the country on the A40.

BEST STREETS The streets running off Marylebone High Street tend to be the most sought-after and therefore achieve the highest prices for both lettings and sales, as well as the beautiful garden squares such as Bryanston and Montagu Square, which are particularly popular with families. Properties on these squares tend to offer traditional Georgian architecture with a few newer developments of flats and mews houses. Both the Howard de Walden Estate and the Portman Estate have been hugely influential in nurturing and preserving Marylebone, and together have created a unique and desirable environment for buyers and tenants seeking family homes or pied-a-terres.

propertytalk Live near a good high street for added value, says Cheryl Markosky

(Above) Montagu Mews West, Marylebone W1: Refurbished three-bedroom mews house with top floor roof terrace, guide price £4.95, Savills 020 7578 5100. (Below) Harley Street, Marylebone W1: Classic one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a Grade II listed building, guide price £2.75m, Savills 020 7578 5100, Carter Jonas 020 7486 8866.

New research from Savills showing that living close to a thriving high street could add 20 per cent to your home’s value will gladden the heart of retail guru and ‘Queen of Shops’ Mary Portas. “We’re selling two-bedroom flats right on Marylebone High Street, with a 20 per cent premium added to the price because of their location,” says Claire Reynolds at Savills’ new Marylebone office. Marylebone High Street appeals, due to its “charming village atmosphere and mix of boutiques, restaurants and cafes. The High Street’s bustling, but there are no bus routes on it, so it feels calmer than many other high streets,” she adds. Knight Frank’s Christian Lock-Necrews highlights Marylebone High Street’s allure with the sale of a 1600 sq ft apartment in Harrowby Street for £1100 per square foot. “We then sold an apartment of comparable size in Wimpole Street, just two streets from the high street, at £1500 pounds per square foot, showing a price differential of 20 to 30 per cent.” There’s no question that proximity to a good high street can increase value, David Adams of John Taylor London argues. “A good example is Mayfair’s Mount Street, where some apartments break the £3000 a square foot barrier, up to a third more than other parts of Mayfair.” The quietly located Phillimore Estate fetches premium prices because of proximity to both Kensington High Street and Holland Park. “It’s an area of great period architecture, which doesn’t attract too much through traffic,” reports Adams. Despite not having a tube or communal gardens off it, Notting Hill’s Westbourne Grove is the new hot spot, suggests Alistair Heather from Strutt & Parker. “Five minutes north desirability drops off a bit, while five minutes south you’re still in splendour with roads like Dawson Place and its huge mansions.” People also want to be within walking distance of Portobello Road, although the road’s enormous and changes from one end to the other. “Golborne Road’s certainly become more popular. It’s what Portobello Road was like 10 to 15 years ago,” Heather declares. “Everybody needs more space and they take the next step away from enviable high streets. This means the northern part of Portobello Road and Golborne Road are benefiting hugely from this shift.” Harry Wigram at Strutt & Parker Chelsea sums up the King’s Road’s significant impact on value. “An idyllic lateral Embankment Gardens flat by the river was discounted by at least 20 per cent because it was five minutes too far from the King’s Road.”

Sleep soundly on fixed rates

Remortgaging to raise cash The number of people re-mortgaging to take money out of their home is rising, thanks to a combination of house price increases, confidence in the future direction of property values, and a need for cheap cash. The average amount of new equity being released – calculated by the value of the new loan compared with the old one - has climbed from £14,000 a year ago to more than £22,000 today. While about 10 per cent of this money is being used to fund home improvements, some is being used to repay more expensive debt, such as credit cards and overdrafts, or pay for holidays and new cars.

Plenty of cheap deals to tempt you, reports Duncan Farmer The opportunities for housebuyers and people wanting to re-mortgage appear to get better by the day. Rates are falling and lenders are relaxing either the amount they will lend or their borrowing criteria, as banks and building societies compete for the comparatively small pool of customers. In spite of this largesse, the amount of mortgage lending fell in June and housebuying activity tailed off in July, although the latter could be down to the sizzling temperatures and the distractions of Andy Murray winning Wimbledon, Justin Rose winning the US Open, and comprehensive English victories in the first two Ashes Tests. Oh, and the arrival of Prince George. Lenders have been doing their bit to add to all this unbridled joy, and mortgage rates have hit historic lows. Take Norwich & Peterborough’s ten-year fixed-rate deal, which has a rate of just 3.84 per cent. Compared with two-year fixed deals it looks expensive, but up against the Halifax standard variable rate of 3.9 per cent it is cheaper, and of course the Halifax rate can move at will. As most analysts agree the current Bank of England base rate of 0.5 per cent is artificially low and will have to rise in the next three or four years, the

Halifax is sure to follow suit. The beauty of fixed-rate deals is that borrowers know from now until 2023 exactly what their monthly repayments will be. And on a 10-year deal, they can sleep soundly for at least eight or nine years knowing that interest rate movements will not worry them, whereas borrowers with a two-year fix do not have long before they must start looking for a new loan. The good news for anyone coming off any deal at the moment is that there is an abundance of cheap offers to tempt them, as our best buy charts demonstrate. Back to the Norwich & Peterborough loan, borrowers need only a 25 per cent deposit, there are no arrangement fees, the valuation is free and there is £200 cashback. Drawbacks? There are not many. You can transfer the mortgage to a new property, but clearing the loan within 10 years will cost you – from seven per cent of the sum owed within the first year tapering down to one per cent in year 10, but for most people this is unlikely to be an issue. The only problem you might have is getting hold of the cash – Norwich & Peterborough is expecting a flood of applications – but there are alternatives: Yorkshire Bank has a 10-year rate fixed at 3.89 per cent.

REVIEW

London is 15th in global price table While property prices in London seem to be enjoying continued growth – up 6.9 per cent in the past year, according to Knight Frank – the capital is languishing in 15th place in a table of global house price growth. Jakarta is top of the league and prices are sprinting ahead at a rate of 27 per cent a year, with Dubai hot on its heels at 21 per cent. In Europe, however, only St Petersburg (15.3 per cent) and Monaco (5.5 per cent) are ahead of London. Vienna and Moscow, our nearest challengers, have barely grown at all, while Rome, Paris and Madrid have all seen property prices lower since this time a year ago, as a result of the economic woes in the Eurozone.

Affluent borrowers increase earnings The average housebuyer now has an income of £40,500, up by more than nine per cent on a year ago, according to research from the Mortgage Advice Bureau, which found that in London the average earnings of buyers had risen by more than 10 per cent. The report suggests that housebuyers’ earnings have overtaken inflation, which currently stands at 2.9 per cent, and average weekly earnings, which are up 3.7 per cent. The Mortgage Advice Bureau said the figures point to “more affluent borrowers driving up the average as they take advantage of the housing market recovery”.

Moving to meet strong growth in Hyde Park Property prices in the W2 postcode have grown by 10 per cent in the past year, significantly beating the Londonwide average of five per cent, according to Knight Frank Hyde Park. With strong growth predicted in the next 12 months, the area has been identified as an investment hotspot. And with the arrival of Crossrail in 2018, considerably shortening the travel time into the City and Canary Wharf, there is a predicted annual uplift of one per cent for homes within a 10-minute walk of Paddington Station. Knight Frank’s Hyde Park team, headed by Fenella Freeland, pictured, recently

moved to their new office at 1 Craven Terrace W2, near Lancaster Gate tube, after operating from head office at 55 Baker Street for the past three-and-a-half years. Noel Flint, head of Knight Frank London Residential said: “Additional plans are in place for further expansions during the course of the next 12 months to continue to grow this network of 19 offices.” Hyde Park’s distinctive Georgian and Victorian townhouses and apartments on pretty garden squares offer homeowners a great community atmosphere, with families attracted by excellent schools including Wetherby Prep and Hampden Gurney. The area also enjoys the buzz of Bayswater Road and Queensway, and the open spaces of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.

Cool fans in Fulham Marsh & Parsons staff helped to keep Fulham commuters cool in August by handing out fans on a day where temperatures reached 34 degrees. The 5000 fans announced the opening of a new Bishops Park office, and were well received by local residents using the tube at Fulham Broadway, Parsons Green and Putney Bridge. Peter Rollings, chief executive of Marsh & Parsons, said: “We’re always looking for new and innovative ways to promote the company. With such a glorious summer in London, a fan to make the morning’s journey to work more bearable was a great way to promote the opening of our new office in Bishops Park. The response was absolutely incredible with the team receiving many messages of thanks via text, email and Twitter.”

GLOBAL DESIGNER BRANDS ON SHOW AT SORTING OFFICE More than 100 global brands, 30 design-led pop-up stores, hundreds of product launches, live factory demonstrations, seminars, screenings, light installations and more return to the industrial 1960s Sorting Office in September. The Designjunction exhibition at the New Oxford Street venue on September 18-22 will feature top international brands including &tradition, Modus, Made in Ratio, Carl Hansen, Moroso, Zanotta, Bolon, Assembly Room, String, Mitab, Bla Station and Another Country.

REVIEW

Prime prices defy expectations The prime London residential market has recorded stronger price growth in the past three months than at any time since March 2012, defying expectations that values would flatline this year, according to the Savills quarterly prime London index. Across prime London, prices rose 2.5 per cent between April and June, bringing annual growth up to 6.6 per cent from 5.5 per cent at the end of the first quarter. But, says Savills, there are significant differences in performance between locations and price bands that reflect differences in buyer profiles, reasons for purchase and their perception of the market, with evidence that some market

segments are now looking fully valued. Strongest growth was seen in the predominantly domestic markets of prime southwest London – running from Fulham to Richmond and Battersea to Wimbledon – where values rose 3.2 per cent in the last quarter. Annual growth now stands at 8.5 cent, much higher than the 4.4 per cent seen in prime central London. Despite reduced City bonuses, these markets are benefiting from wealth accumulated prior to the downturn, new wealth creation, especially from West End hedge funds, and increased buying activity from international buyers working and resident full-time in the capital.

Winkworth joins Agents’ Mutual Winkworth has signed up to the new agent-owned property portal Agents’ Mutual and joins the six founding agents: Douglas & Gordon, Savills, Knight Frank, Glentree Estates, Strutt & Parker and Chesterton Humberts. “There is a clear need to create a new competitor in the portals market that is owned and controlled by agents,” said Dominic Agace, CEO of Winkworth. “The significant number of Winkworth offices that have signed up to Agents’ Mutual recognise this and the tangible benefits that it will bring in terms of cost and the ability to control their own property data. We are very excited to see this new portal as it develops and eventually launches.” At the helm of Agents’ Mutual is Primelocation founder Ian Springett, who said: “We are delighted to have this support from so many of the Winkworth offices already. It further strengthens our progress, both in London and around the country, and helps underline our commitment to serving all agents in all segments of the residential property market.”

Buy luxury property at Hurlingham Club The Hurlingham Club in Fulham is to host the Luxury Property Show on October 29 and 30, giving visitors the opportunity to view and buy some of the world’s most lavish properties.

Original Apple store John Lennon and George Harrison worked here. So reads the inscription on the blue plaque – unveiled in March this year – on the outside wall of the newly launched Apple Apartments. John and George were the only two Beatles at the December 1967 launch of the Apple Boutique at 94 Baker Street. Paul, who had retreated to Scotland, called the venture ‘a beautiful place where you could buy beautiful things’. The building on the corner with Paddington Street was known for its psychedelic mural (pictured right), created by a group of designers known as The Fool without the consent of Westminster City Council or the Portman Estate landlords. It was soon covered over by white paint after complaints from local traders. Specialist investor and developer

the Malins Group has restored and redesigned the interior of the Grade II listed building on Baker Street to create five contemporary apartments with a splash of 1960s pop culture. Malins MD Lauren Atkins said: “Our inspiration came from the exuberance and imagination of the Fab Four. We have tried to capture that, as well as a sense of the avant-garde for which The Beatles were renowned.” Estate agent Marsh & Parsons has an office on the ground floor.

REVIEW

Rescued, restored and reinstated A statuesque Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in Marylebone, with a south-facing rear terrace, 16 Wyndham Place was originally built in 1820 and designed by J T Parkinson, the architect behind nearby Bryanston and Montagu Squares. Studioloop acquired the property in 2011 and set about returning it to the family home it was designed to be. Two years later, the result is an impressive combination of rescued, faithfully restored and reinstated original features and contemporary finishes for comfortable modern living. Repeating materials, patterns, and details run through the property to create a cohesive space. The interior is described as ‘confidently poised between a respect for history and the latest modern conveniences; between light open spaces and warm retreats; between simple restraint and pure indulgence’. Living space extends to almost 6000 sq ft on five floors. Engine room of the house is a custom-made kitchen kitted out with Gaggenau appliances, Statuario marble worktops and generous breakfast bar. A new white polished concrete staircase and double-height marble wall connect the kitchen to the natural light and dining room above, and a cluster of hand-blown glass lights fills the stairwell. Located halfway between Hyde Park and Regent’s Park, Wyndham Place rests in a village-like area of London with independent boutiques, cafés and restaurants lining nearby Crawford Street. Selfridges, Oxford Street, Park Lane, and St Pancras International are only a short walk away. Studioloop is an architecture and design-based practice specialising in the delivery of luxury refurbishment and new-build projects. Wyndham Place, Marylebone W1, £9.75m, Knight Frank 020 3435 6440

FENTIMAN ROAD KENNINGTON SW8 Daniel Corbett & Co. have sold over sixty houses in the favoured south easterly part of Fentiman Road since the 1980s. Many of these we have sold a number of times over and, in the case of the two most recent, we have achieved sales for the last five owners running. These early Victorian houses reflect more the style and proportions of Georgian architecture and offer wonderful family accommodation with good gardens. The location is very convenient for easy access to central London and the general area is undergoing widespread regeneration, along with the proposed extension of the Northern Line and relocation of the American and Dutch embassies to nearby Nine Elms. The planned transformation of this already extremely popular area will add greatly to its desirability.

Proudly looking down on the street from the gables, the lions were the trademark of builder Jimmy Nichols, who used them to symbolise the high quality of his buildings. Local legend also has it that the suppliers delivered 1000 lions when he only ordered 100. One of builder Jimmy’s impressive so-called Lion Houses is currently for sale with a large walled garden on Perrymead Street in Fulham. The house is light throughout and features a wide double reception room with wooden floors and Victorian-style ornamental fireplace. There is a guest cloakroom on this floor. The kitchen and breakfast room has been extended to the side and provides excellent dining space. It has fitted cupboards with integrated appliances, and a central island providing ample

storage and a breakfast bar. Tall bi-fold doors in the kitchen lead out into a 42ft west-facing garden with patio area leading onto Easigrass – an artificial lawn that means no more mud, mess or moving – surrounded by mature shrubs and trees. Upstairs is a master bedroom suite and four more bedrooms with a family bathroom and separate shower room. The first floor rear bedroom has been extended with a conservatory providing a large and light children’s bedroom with loads of play space. The top two bedrooms have air-conditioning. On the lower ground floor, an additional reception area makes an ideal playroom or television room. There’s also a study and a large utility room with numerous storage cupboards.

Knock it down and start from scratch Cheryl Markosky talks to a brave owner who tore down a Fifties house and started again It was an exciting day for Natasha Hall when an old house in Lauriston Road was demolished. “We were there the whole day and took loads of pictures and videos,” she says. Hall’s eagerness at such destruction was understandable, as this was the inauguration of a oneyear building project that allowed her to get rid of an unprepossessing property and start from scratch with something new. You have to applaud Hall even louder when you hear that she carried out this mammoth task, which finished last June, with three small children (the twins are now nearly four, and her third child five) in tow. “We’d lived in flats before, but found wardrobes and room sizes too small and I was longing for more space,” explains Hall. Her vision was clear. “I wanted a Georgian-style house that was large, symmetrical and traditional, but with plenty of modern additions.” Employing local architect Richard Holden and project manager Richard Puddy, Hall also brought her past life to the blueprints. “I grew up in California and was used

to informal, open-plan and outside living. So I made sure there was easy access from the family, kitchen/ breakfast and dining rooms on the ground floor into the garden, and there were bar stools around a counter on a kitchen island where the kids could sit and eat.” Other Anglo-American touches include a terrific amount of space for guests and nanny, cinema room, gym and sauna in the newly dug-out basement; a cosy area for Hall’s young children on the top floor; and the master bedroom suite luxuriously laid out on the first floor of this roomy 5640 sq ft family house. Hall’s advice for another buyer keen to acquire a rundown house and replace it with a stylish new home is to plan everything well from the beginning, think clearly about how you live and how you’ll use the house, and make sure you’re on site every day to ensure switches go in the right place and the right shade of mortar is used. “One mistake we made was to be overly optimistic that the project was almost finished once the exterior was done, but the interior took a long time to complete,” she admits.

Hall advises having an extra person on hand to help choose doorknobs, cupboards and colours. “There’s so much choice these days it’s confusing.” Hall also thanks her project manager for introducing her to North London ironmonger Danico Brass, where they sourced nearly everything. Robert Holmes of estate agent Robert Holmes & Company thinks the biggest advantage to owning the solid and highly finished Lauriston Road house is its superb location. “You’re a stone’s throw from the Common, about five minutes walk to the Village, and you’re very close to excellent schools.” Lauriston Road, Wimbledon Village SW19, £5.5m, Robert Holmes & Company 020 8947 9833

A mill has stood on Ham Hill at Holcombe, Somerset, for hundreds of years and the current structure was rebuilt by Julius Tapp in 1845. It still has a water wheel but milling ceased in around 1900. Ham Mill was converted into a family home in 1976 and the current owners have further modernised the four-bedroom property, which includes the original mill workings – no longer working. The building is made of local random rubble Blue Lias Stone with a mixture of traditional slate and tiled roofs. Inside living space is arranged on two levels and includes three large reception rooms with large picture windows overlooking the surrounding countryside. The dining room has retractable patio doors leady to a sunny rear terrace.

The walled rear garden has a two-level sun terrace, greenhouse and mature apple trees, and the millstream is exposed in two places to provide delightful water features. There’s also a half-acre paddock. Available separately are 7.5 acres of land with a river and weir pond, currently managed as a nature reserve containing wildlife such as herons, otters, kingfishers and roe deer. London 120 miles.

A new-build country house in Hampshire offers the modern benefits of economy, latest gadgetry and contemporary styling combined with the grandeur associated with traditional period properties. New homes such as this offer a blank canvas that allows buyers to achieve goals that would be near impossible if they tried to convert or remodel the interior of an older property. Mulberry House in Durford Wood, Petersfield, is built in true South Downs vernacular. Standing within South Downs National Park, this grand property is set in landscaped gardens and managed woodland at the end of a secure and private drive on the Durford Wood Estate. Inside space is more than 10,000 sq ft including six bedroom suites, galleried reception hall, gym, and a three-bay garage with potential to create an annexe above. Mature landscaped gardens and grounds extend to around 7.3 acres. Close to the South coast, the house enjoys a commanding southerly aspect overlooking impressive gardens, and beyond the formal lawns lies a mixed woodland. The architectural design by Neil Holland is typical of Durford Wood, which is served by private roads beyond a formal gated entrance leading both to Durford Wood and into Mulberry House.

Petersfield station with a direct train service to London Waterloo (62 minutes) is two-and-a-half miles away, Southampton airport is 36 miles, Heathrow 48 miles and Gatwick 53 miles. London 57 miles.

On the right track Upsetting many Devon locals at the time, Coryton station was built in 1865 on some of the area’s finest land for growing carrots and potatoes. The Tavistock to Launceston railway line was officially opened in torrential rain in June of that year. Census records of 1871 show that stationmaster Walter Luscombe lived in one of two Station Cottages with his wife Elizabeth and their four children. Porter William Nicholls lived in the other with his wife Emma and their own four little ones. Dr Beeching closed the line in 1966, and in 1978 Squire Thomas Newman sold the two cottages to Bertie and Patricia Piper. The couple commissioned Lifton builder Russell

Wevill to convert the two cottages into a single home, known today as Stationmasters. The present owners bought Stationmasters from Bertie Piper in 1982, and this historic three-bedroom property is now for sale. It stands in its own formal and secluded gardens of around a quarter of an acre, and has a sweeping driveway and double garage. Coryton hamlet is on the outskirts of Chillaton and is handy for the market towns of Tavistock and Okehampton. London 233 miles.

Gateway to the Downs Originally two cottages in Oreham Manor, Oreham House is a brick-built and tile-hung property retaining much of its original period charm. A brick herringbone pathway leads to a solid wood front door and the central part of the house featuring mullioned windows, exposed beams and flagstone floors. Over the years this four-bedroom property in West Sussex has been modernised and extended to create a large and versatile family home with contemporary features such as down-lighting and an integrated Bang & Olufsen sound system. The open plan kitchen, breakfast and family room was part of the original property and today contains a two-oven Aga with electric companion stove and granite surfaces. The extended family area has a beamed and vaulted ceiling and glazed doors on three sides leading to the patio. A zinc bar has wine storage below, and this room contains a woodburner. A contemporary glass walkway leads from the kitchen to the drawing room, which has a large stone fireplace, garden views and glass doors to the patio. Adjoining the drawing room is a book-lined study. A modern guest suite added by the current owners includes a sunroom with a glass roof and heat and rain-sensitive windows. Outbuildings include a double garage, bike store, greenhouse, and a gym – with sauna – currently used as a soundproof drum room. In the gardens and grounds of more than five acres you’ll find an orchard, tennis court, croquet lawn and meadow. You reach the property by a private road across Oreham Common. A rear garden gate leads to open farmland with public footpaths leading to South Downs National Park. Oreham House, Oreham Common, Woodmancote, West Sussex, £2.85m, Savills 01444 446 000

REVIEW

Contemporary designs on Victorian grandeur Vanbrugh and Graburn are two impressively grand houses newly built in Victorian style on Palace Road, one of the most prestigious addresses in East Molesey, close to Hampton Court and the River Thames. Part of Kent Town conservation area, the two properties take their names from two legendary East Molesey figures of the past: Sir John Vanbrugh, 17th century soldier, spy, playwright and theatre manager, and William Turbett Graburn, the 19th century Surrey cricketer. With exteriors designed to complement their historic surroundings, the homes have interiors that offer thoroughly modern living space with versatile layouts and immaculate presentation. Steve Bowring, a director at developer Capital

Holdings, said: “This has been one of the most fascinating, enriching projects I have ever been involved with. We set out to create beautiful houses that were in keeping with the traditional architecture of the area, but also had spacious and bright interiors.” Trevor Rawlings of Savills Esher, who is handling the sale, added: “These are truly beautiful family homes in a very desirable area. Road and rail communications to central London are excellent and will appeal to those who may be moving out of central London for a better quality of life but still require easy access to the capital.” Palace Road, East Molesey, Surrey KT8, Vanbrugh £3.75m, Graburn £2.95m, Savills Esher 01372 461900

REVIEW

Living the high life on top of Belgravia

Landlords need to dress to impress With around a 60 per cent increase in the number of properties currently on the rental market compared with this time six months ago, presenting your flat or house at its absolute best has never been so important. That’s the message from Clare Foster of Knight Frank Belgravia Lettings. “Landlords who have listened to this advice are not necessarily benefiting from higher rental levels but more from increased interest and higher viewing levels, therefore resulting in fewer void periods,” she said. Clare added that in the past couple of months, Knight Frank Interiors has seen a rise in landlords taking advantage of its Dress to Impress

service. “Landlords can rent a furniture package including items such as pictures and lamps for viewing purposes to ensure their property is marketed in the best possible light,” she said. Prospective tenants or landlords then have the opportunity to buy the whole package or certain items from it. Prices start from £1500 per month, and an excellent example of the service is a three-bedroom lateral apartment currently to let on the second floor in Belgravia’s Chesham Street.

Originally designed by Candy & Candy, a threebedroom penthouse apartment to let in Belgravia offers high-spec living space on the third and fourth floors topped by a large roof garden with superb views across London. The decked terrace is sheltered by greenery and contains separate areas for both sitting and dining. The Eaton Place property’s inside space of 2110 sq ft includes a reception room, dining room and three en suite bathrooms. The master bedroom also has a dressing lobby.
