Mayfair comes to Exeter
Agents who love to give
Enjoy your retirement
The first residents have just moved into Dean Clarke House, a landmark building that once housed the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital. Developers Burrington Estates promised to bring ‘Mayfair to Exeter’, with communal facilities including a Zen garden, private gym and concierge service (pictured is the building’s foyer). Dean Clarke House has a clubroom and adjoining suite that can be used for business or pleasure. Plymouth-based gallery Art Source was commissioned to provide more than 100 original works of art for the passageways. Exeter estate agent Pyne & Lyon is marketing the apartments. For details call 01392 908118 or visit www.pyneandlyon.co.uk.
Local estate agents Webbers has become an ambassador for Agents Giving, a UK charity that organises industry-wide fundraising events. These include the Great British Property Cycle, charity golf days, and the first Agents Giving Day which in June this year. The charity uses this central fundraising "pot" to top-up individual agent fundraising activities by an additional 10%, as well as making donations to supported charities such as St Mungo's Broadway, for the homeless. Webbers` Kevin Underwood commented: "We are eager to get stuck in to the range of charitable events that Agents Giving holds throughout the year.”
A new show complex has opened at Singer Court in Paignton, a complex for retired people. Jacqui Meenan, from developer McCarthy & Stone, said: “We are really excited to be welcoming visitors to Singer Court. The show complex highlights the relaxing and comfortable lifestyle that could be achieved in retirement. It is a mustsee for anyone over 60 who is thinking about downsizing.” The one-and two-bedroom apartments on Manor Crescent have panoramic sea views across Torquay and Brixham from the communal roof terrace.Prices start from £184,000.

A “once-in-a-generation” opportunity is coming up to buy undeveloped land in one of the most exclusive areas in Torquay. The clifftop parcel of nearly one acre is on Ilsham Marine Drive, where houses can sell in excess of £2 million. On a south-facing coastal slope and close to Meadowfoot Beach, this hot spot will be brought to auction by Waycotts in November. Potential buyers beware, though – there are strings attached. Mike Parson of Waycotts said: “While there is no consent at
present, the land enjoys wonderful views of Thatcher’s Rock and would make a stunning marine home. “Pre-application advice has resulted in the planners leaving the door to development ajar. “However, the existing landscape is protected by planning policies, and any development would need to protect the essential characteristic of the landscape and retain its woodland. “There would also have to be assurances concerning visual impact, protecting the eco-system and reinstating the natural
environment.” Mike added that this might be a prudent buy for neighbouring landowner to protect their own investment. The cost could be high though. “A much smaller piece of amenity land, which at 0.16 acres is tiny by comparison, went under the hammer not long ago and sold for £9,000 to a nearby household wanting to protect their outlook,” he said. The auction will take place at St Mellion International Resort near Saltash on Thursday, November 6 at 11am. It has a guide price of £90,000.

Character home fulfils its potential John and Janet Sweet like a project, so when they moved to Cornwall to be closer to family in 2008, they started their search for the right one. Nothing felt quite right until they found Trevia Farmhouse in North Cornwall, a lovely character property on the fringe of Camelford. “We just fell in love with it,” says Janet. “It was unliveable as it was – it needed a lot of work – but we could see lots of potential.” In 2009 the couple started work on Trevia, and it would be a year before they could actually move in. They replaced the wiring and the plumbing, and other infrastructure work such as damp-proofing. John, a retired carpenter, updated the skirting boards, architrave and doorframes with specially detailed ones. And, the couple added the garden room, a lovely warm place to sit in bright daylight. “It has been extended several times, but the extensions work well together, so that you can’t necessarily tell they weren’t planned that way,” says Janet. “We don’t know a great deal about the history, but you can tell that the original part of the house (now the kitchen and utility room) is quite old. Then in perhaps the 1800s the farmer was obviously doing well, and the front part of the house was put on. “We have added the garden room,
Gillian Molesworth discovers how TLC transformed a fine farmhouse in Cornwall which is a modern room, but still a sympathetic addition. We love it.” Trevia’s kitchen/dining room is a welcoming country style, with slate flagstone flooring and blue and white tiled splashbacks. It has oak kitchen units with solid wood work surfaces, and a central island. There is a big fridge/freezer and Rangemaster oven with extractor hood. Across from the units is a space for a large dining room table under recessed down-lighters. This room has a stable door to the rear courtyard.
About the area Camelford: This historic market town is on the edge of Bodmin Moor. You are in King Arthur territory here – the nearby coastal village of Tintagel is where he was thought to have been conceived, and Slaughterbridge could be the site of his famous Last Battle. Camelford has an active community with facilities including a leisure centre and a pool. It has strong links to farming – Camelford Agricultural Show is held every August. Roads: Camelford is on the A39 Atlantic Highway road, with Bude/ Barnstaple in one direction and Wadebridge in the other. Heading East, the A39 connects to the A30 near Launceston. Rails: The nearest railway station is Bodmin Parkway (14 miles), on the main Penzance-London line. Schools: Trevia is in walking distance of Camelford’s schools. Camelford primary is Ofsted-rated
“Outstanding”. The local secondary, Sir James Smith’s Community School, “requires improvement,” but nearby Wadebridge Secondary is rated “Good”. St Joseph’s, a highly regarded private school, is at Launceston. Walks: Right on the doorstep is Roughtor, one of the two highest peaks of Bodmin Moor. There are dramatic coastal walks at nearby Bossiney Haven, and Port Gaverne next door neighbour to Port Isaac, where Doc Martin is filmed. Shopping: Camelford has a great traditional butcher, and there is a farm shop at Trevathan. Nearby Wadebridge has a range of independent boutiques. Eat out: People travel for miles to get a taste of Camelford’s fish and chips. The Mason’s Arms is a local St Austell Ales pub – for a cocktail with a view, head to the Long Cross Hotel at Trelights.

Expertly restored, the four-bedroom Trevia Farmhouse combines historic features such as the original well, below, with modern ones like the light-flooded garden room, left There is a utility room, an airing cupboard, and a ground-floor loo. The drawing room has beautiful slate flagstone flooring, and a wood burning stove set on a slate hearth within an inglenook mantelpiece. There is a built-in ornamental display unit (another of John’s carpentry touches). The living room is connected to the sun room. Here, a generous fireplace with a slate hearth has been knocked through to create a double-sided feature, with a wood burner warming both rooms. It has exposed timber ceiling beams, and French windows leading on to the side patio terrace. Up a handsome set of stairs are four bedrooms, two of them featuring ornate cast iron fireplaces. The master bedroom has a spacious en suite with a large walk-in shower. There is a further family bathroom with a Victorian roll-top bath and shower mixer. Everything looks tidy and wellpresented throughout. Trevia’s garden bears John and Janet’s stamp just as much as its interior. “When we first saw it, we loved the fabulous old garden, even though it was completely buried in six-foot-tall grass,” says Janet. “It was a pleasure to watch the garden re-emerge from the weeds. “When we were re-doing
Trevia Farmhouse, Camelford, North Cornwall £510,000
everything we discovered an old well that we didn’t even know was there. It was filled with tin cans and all sorts of junk. “We got it working again, and fitted it with a pump to water the garden. It’s a really nice feature, and very useful too – we are keen vegetable growers, and we have put in a few raised beds.” There is also a stone
gardener’s store and a greenhouse. Janet loves the flagstone patio which catches the setting sun, a beautiful place to sit in the evenings or entertain visitors. Having completed all their hard work and given Trevia the TLC it so richly deserved, John and Janet found it felt too large for them. They are going to look for another property,
possibly closer to their 40-year-old daughter who lives in the west of the county. “We do love it, and we shall be sad to leave it, but it’s time,” said Janet.

Torquay, £695,000
Strike a balance Contemporary, cool and a little bit edgy, the industrial trend can be defined in many ways. But it’s the strong lines, raw finishes and metallic tones, designed to mirror the urban architecture, that’s inspired interior designers to create modern living schemes that are slick and hard to resist. Functional and fuss-free, but with a nod to heritage, it’s a clean look that has traditionally been seen as a masculine one. However, women have also demonstrated an equal love for industrial style in recent years, and while it lends itself well to bachelor pads, it can also be channelled by anybody hankering after a touch of loft-style living. This applies to family homes too, because, the good news is, despite bare and exposed being a key characteristic, this look can still bring warmth and comfort – without the need for expensive curtains and cushions. And best of all, it’s a great excuse to declutter. Here are some top tips from the experts to take the hard work out of mixing these tough materials, and make a style statement that flows from room to room. TOUGH LIVING
Elegant Berburry Hotel is a Victorian villa-style hotel in the heart of Torquay. It has nine en-suite guest rooms, lounge, sun lounge, 18 cover dining room with bar, kitchen, parking, and two separate areas of owners’ accommodation. Agents: Waycotts Commercial, 01823 403 060, www.waycotts.co.uk
Simple and understated, colour and texture are key, and the industrial look is all about metallics, distressed surfaces and raw wood. But giving your lounge or living room an industrial-style makeover doesn’t mean stripping it of all soft touches. “It’s a very tactile style, so it works well in the living room,” says Kate Hassard, marketing manager at Sofa.com. Of course, leather sofas – ideally suitably battered and brown – are most synonymous with the industrial look. And while these are an investment which will never go out of style, if the budget doesn’t stretch, or you simply don’t want leather, that doesn’t mean your industrial action is over. “Start with a relaxed corner sofa in
Time to take some industrial action – in your home. Sam Wylie-Harris rounds up the tools of the trade for hard-wearing style a cool, neutral fabric with texture, such as wool,” suggests Hassard. “Soften the look with cushions, or a throw with a shimmer of silver, glow of copper or glint of brushed steel. And if you don’t have an exposed brick wall at home, make a feature with what you do have.” Indeed, some vintage and antique frames propped in a casual stack, studio floor lamps, factory-style ceiling lights and a mix of vintage and rustic pieces here and there will go a long way, and you’ll soon realise there’s no need to call in the builders to remove the plaster and clean the bricks. “If exposed brickwork, concrete surfaces and pared-back minimalism feels a step too far, then incorporate statement pieces, such as a smart clock or statement bookends, for added emphasis,” suggests interior designer Joanna Wood. Allowing functional items that would normally be hidden away, such as a radiator, to become focal points, is an integral part of the trend for that unfinished, slightly edgy feel. Plus, the warmth they emit will form a stark contrast to the polished metals and pared-down surrounds. MEATY EATERY For a chef ’s perk, and a hard-working centrepiece that combines all the elements, it has to be a range cooker.

With its professional-looking stainless steel finish and top-notch cooking capacity, it oozes industrialism, yet somehow remains homely. Match this with a mix of ash and oak for the kitchen table, and the distressed finish morphs into a peaceful pattern of metal and woodgrain effects, which would contrast beautifully with white tableware and bistro-style glasses. “Matching the kitchen design with stone, concrete worktops and other urban materials, such as worn metals, allows you to create many different looks, which can be used as accents, or as a complete kitchen,” says Matt Thomas, fitted furniture buyer at John Lewis. “With today’s technology, it’s very difficult to identify laminated surfaces and robust finishes from the real thing, and many customers are opting for the reclaimed look.” Some carefully chosen accessories, like stainless steel and copper-finish utensils, and perhaps some vintage advertising-inspired artwork, will help bring the look to the boil. CLEAN AND COOL A free-standing bath is a big investment, but the materials used are renowned for their durability, and nothing wows like a statement tub. The sculptural splendour can be softened with your favourite fluffy

Fob wall clock, £35, Marksandspencer.com towels, soaps and scented candles, too. If that’s not an option, team shades of bronze and copper with gleaming glass for subtle, industrial-inspired touches to conventional bathroom fittings – replacing the taps, for instance, can be an easy way to update this part of the home, and will still make a significant visual impact.
Invest in items like wooden consoles, metal cabinets, chrome rails and stone-effect accessories for the finishing touch, and enjoy the natural beauty of bath time. Splashes of deep grey in your colour scheme, along with tough, natural tiles – slate is fantastic for floors and walls – will also put the industrial cogs in motion.

26 holiday homes Homes with holiday letting potential selected by Katie Treseder of Helpful Holidays Quillet, Kingsbridge, South Hams, £600,000
Out on location in Gillian Molesworth finds holiday homes for film buffs If you love your movies, there were plenty of them shot in the Westcountry. With the off-season bargains approaching for holiday properties, now is a great time to schedule a brush with Hollywood. Get out “on location” – here’s our guide of what to visit and where to stay. Holywell Bay and the Eden Project Movie: Die Another Day, 2002
With enviable views across the estuary, this is an older property with individual style and character. Once prepared and offered as a holiday let, I estimate Quillet could generate an income of £32,000 over a 30week season. Agents: Marchand Petit, Kingsbridge, 01548 857588, www.marchandpetit.co.uk
Rainbow’s End, Branscombe, Devon, £345,000
The opening scene to any James Bond film is one to remember – this one, meant to represent North Korea, was filmed in the dunes of Holywell Bay, Cornwall. The Eden Project hemispheres are part of the baddie’s Arctic ice palace. Who can forget Halle Berry sliding down a rope in the rainforest biome? Where to stay: Polcreek Cottage, a fine cottage ten miles from the Eden project and 1¼ miles from Veryan towards the sea. From £465/week. Charlestown, South East Cornwall Movie: Alice in Wonderland, 2010 You’ll always get something weird and wonderful from Tim Burton, and his 2010 fantasy adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic is no exception. It features Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, and Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter as the White and Red Queens. Charlestown Harbour, with its resident tall ships, was where Alice left for China. Where to stay: Hideaway Barn is a single-storey cottage in Charlestown. It sleeps four, from £305/week.
This double-fronted period cottage, dating back several centuries, retains a wealth of character features. Over a 30-week season this cottage could generate £15,000. Agents: Symonds & Sampson, Axminster, 01297 33122, www.symondsandsampson.co.uk

Where to stay: Tremar is a modernised 18th century semi-detached cottage sleeping six. It is at romantic Lower Boscaswell, on the seaward edge of Pendeen. From £364/week. Lamorna and Prussia Cove Movie: Summer in February, 2013 Lots of us loved this atmospheric romantic drama, about British artist Alfred Munnings, and the love triangle between his friend Gilbert Evans and Florence Carter-Wood. There’s no better place to soak up the atmosphere of the “Lamorna Group” than Lamorna, and nearby Prussia Cove where director Christopher Menaul did lots of the filming. Where to stay: Delightful Lamorna Studio once belonged to artist Lamorna Birch, and is 200 yards from the cove. Sleeps three, from £262/week. Jamaica Inn Movie: Jamaica Inn, various Author Daphne du Maurier has bestowed lasting fame to this moorland hostelry at Bolventor near Launceston. Her hair-raising tale, made into various films and TV series, tells of Mary Yellan, a nubile orphan marooned with her dodgy uncle and his browbeaten wife. A series of alarming occurrences lead Mary to uncover their bloody secret. Where to stay: You can stay at Jamaica Inn. But for romantic moorland atmosphere try nearby Dozmary Pool Barn. You can tramp around the moors in a flapping dress like Mary, then retire to this modern house which sleeps six: from £315 a week.

Ask the experts Your holiday let questions answered Q. We close our holiday let for most of the winter. Can you give us tips for preventing it deteriorating whilst empty? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; FJ, Bodmin A. Bev Plunkett, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:
The Eden Project was part of the baddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ice palace complex in James Bond epic Die Another Day starring Pierce Brosnan
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual for owners to close holiday homes for winter months, but it is important to protect properties while empty so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fresh and welcoming to let again in the spring. It may be a good opportunity to redecorate and thoroughly clean carpets. Having your boiler serviced before the winter will reduce the likelihood of breakdowns, since whether your property is vacant for several months or a few days, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisable to leave the heating on low at around 13 or 14 degrees. Loft insulation will avoid frozen pipes and can help reduce heating bills; leaving a loft hatch open enables air to circulate. Remember to lag pipes (inside and out) as well as hot water cylinders, or you could have the water and central heating system drained by a qualified plumber. Surge protectors will protect electrical appliances such as TVs, phones and modems from the risk of electrical storms and power surges. Ensure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly and batteries arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tired. Have your chimney swept if you have an open fire or woodburner, ready for cool spring evenings when you reopen. Outside, careful pruning is important to prevent high winds or snow felling trees or bushes on to your property or that of a third party. Ensure aerials and satellite dishes are secure.
Q. I'm not always able to greet my guests. What's the best way of making sure they feel welcome on arrival? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; AH, Launceston A. Melanie Cassidy, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:
Historic Charlestown harbour in Cornwall featured in Tim Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alice in Wonderland, and Daphne du Maurierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brooding novel takes place at the real Jamaica Inn on Bodmin Moor

After travelling for possibly several hours, guests will just want to find the key, walk inside and relax. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve explained clearly in advance where the key will be and that the property is warm, welcoming and fresh smelling (remember to air out mustiness if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had guests for a while). Except at the height of summer, the outside light should be on. In cool weather, the heating
should have been on long enough to be effective and fires should be laid ready to have a match put to them. There should be hot water in the tank, freezers and fridges turned on and ice cubes in the tray. A tea tray laid out with milk in the fridge is appreciated and you may wish to make a little extra effort and welcome guests with a homemade cake, a cream tea or hamper of local goodies. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unable to be there in person, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;welcomeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; card and a phone call that evening or the following morning to make sure your guests are happy is a friendly gesture.
Q. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m considering converting an old barn, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen bats roosting in it. Where should I seek advice in this situation? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; WM, Lyme Regis A. Gill Nicholls, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: Legislation dictates that any structures or places which bats use for shelter or protection are protected from damage or destruction, whether occupied or not. This legislation has been incorporated into planning policies, which means planning authorities have a legal obligation to consider whether bats are likely to be affected by a proposed development. The variety of bat you have in your barn is significant; different species have different requirements, which dictates the requirements of any development permission. The first step is to have a bat survey carried out by the relevant environmental agency and their recommendations will influence your permissions.

In this age of recycling – plastics in one bin, glass in another, garden matter and food waste also being separated – there can be no better time to start your own compost heap. If you have to sort out your rubbish, you might as well make use of the matter which can be turned into a terrific soil enricher. However, it isn’t just a matter of piling up your vegetable peelings and grass cuttings and turning them every so often. In every successful compost heap, there is a balance to be found. The container or makeshift frame (ideally wooden) should be at least 1m (3ft) square otherwise it will be too small to generate enough heat to rot it down. You’ll also need a lid to keep out rain and keep in the heat, even if the lid’s in the form of an old carpet topped with plastic. Remember, the hotter it gets, the faster the compost matures. Good elements include kitchen waste – such as vegetable scraps, eggshells and tea bags. If you want to add newspaper, you’ll need to shred it first. Keep a small, lidded bin by the back door for kitchen scraps. If you’re pruning this autumn, keep the clippings and spent flowers for the compost bin, along with any grass clippings and end of season bedding. Some gardeners are so obsessed with their compost that they grow plants specifically for it, including potash-rich sunflowers which boost its nutritional content, and comfrey, also rich in nutrients. Don’t add meat, fish or bones to the heap because you’ll just attract rats. Keep out really tough weeds such as ground elder, which may survive in the heap, and diseased plants, which should be binned or burned. Woody prunings should be omitted as they take an age to rot down. Give your compost a helping hand to rot down, with organic activators containing herbs, honey and sea-
weed. Ingredients including nettles help rot down the pile, while a handful of horse manure adds bulk and nutrients. Buy some worms from a fishing tackle shop which will work their way up and down the pile, breaking up the debris as they go. The secret to good compost is firstly to break up the bulky stuff before it goes in. If you haven’t a shredder, chop up your prunings into small pieces. Then you need to alternate the materials in different layers. Place grass clippings in thin layers – and don’t put too much grass on the pile or you’ll end up with a slimy mess. Alternate the clippings with coarser material or mix it with shredded
Add some moistened straw to bulk up too much green material newspaper. Add moistened straw to bulk up too much green material. Layers should be peppered every so often with earth, blood, fish and bonemeal, manure or an activator to encourage bacteria. The dry, woody, carbon-rich materials such as prunings and straw should be combined with the layers of nitrogen-rich soft waste such as vegetable scraps and grass clippings. Ideally use two parts’ woody material to one part soft material. The woody debris allows air to circulate through the heap, while the soft material
A compost bin is a useful addition to any garden
provides nitrogen, other plant foods and moisture. Once your container is full, don’t let it dry out in summer or become too wet in winter. A good test is to squeeze a handful and see how much moisture comes out. It should only be a few droplets for perfect compost. If you are making compost for the first time, turn the new heap after about a week to allow the cooler outer material to enter into the hotter centre, then turn it again two weeks later, after which you should leave it for around six months. If you are filling the heap gradually, the material at the bottom of the pile should almost be ready for use by the time the container is filled. Ideally, have two heaps on the go at one time, so you can move the upper layers of uncomposted material into a new heap when the lower levels are almost ready for use. In less than a year, you may have soft, crumbly fruit-cake-like compost to spread as a mulch or just add to your soil to improve its fertility, or sieve it to use in your potting compost.
Gardeners’ diary
This week in your garden: ● Continue to harvest early-ripening apple varieties including ‘Discovery’ and ‘Blenheim Orange’. ● Plant wallflowers, forget-me-not, and other spring bedding plants in prepared ground. Keep them well watered if no rain is forecast. ● In the greenhouse, pot up annuals sown in late summer which are being grown for early colour inside. ● Scarify your lawn with a springtine rake to remove thatch and moss.
● Check onions and potatoes in store to make sure they are not rotting and remove any showing signs of disease. ● Sow sweet peas in pots in a cold frame. ● If you haven’t yet done so, clear out summer containers, saving tender plants if you have space to overwinter them. ● Stop feeding and reduce watering for plants in the greenhouse. ● Plant winter lettuce in cold frames, keeping them well ventilated when conditions allow. ● Earth up celery and leeks.
Out and about
Storing root vegetables Most root vegetables, including favourites such as carrots, parsnips, beetroot, turnip and leeks, stay freshest where they grow. The winter months provide natural refrigeration, but you should give them extra protection from frost by earthing them up, covering them with straw or leaves or placing a cloche over them. Such measures shouldn't be taken until December, however, otherwise it may encourage new growth. Winter varieties are best for keeping in the ground, as they grow more slowly and are more tolerant of the cold. Parsnips become sweeter if kept in the ground during the winter, while swedes and turnips can become coarse and fibrous if left in the ground too long. If you're worried that your soil
temperature is going to drop below freezing, it may be wise to lift and store them now.
