SOUTH HAMS’ LEADING E STAT E AG E N T
Welcome… TO OUR VERY LATEST ISSUE OF SIMPLY SOUTH HAMS Not many shopping days until Christmas… Looking back on the spring and summer months, I am delighted to say that Marchand Petit have thoroughly enjoyed supporting events in the community from 3 Creeks endurance sailing and trail running, local agricultural shows, coastal regattas, golf charity days for Devon Air Ambulance and the Army Benevolent Fund. We’re proud to continue to be an active part of this thriving community in South Devon. As this glorious summer draws to a close, the next Facebook headlines are likely to be “Not many shopping days until Christmas”! Without wanting to wish anyone’s life away, it is worth noting that, as previously mentioned, the legal process of completing an agreed sale can now average in the region of three to four months. Therefore, anyone wishing to be in a new home for Christmas 2018 will have to be getting the process started fairly soon. Consequently, it is worth making your intentions known to us as soon as possible in order to be ready to sell to those movers who traditionally start looking for their next property on returning from their holidays and the children’s return to school in September. The market, despite persistent and considerable political and economic uncertainty, is remaining reasonably firm due to a combination of a lack of stock and, as yet, a lack of competition for cash due to relatively low interest rates. Statistics are now showing that people are not moving as frequently as in the past. For that reason, it is imperative that you instruct an agent that understands the local market and the value of good service. So, here at Marchand Petit, as an agency, we are increasingly aware of how important your move is to you. The process starts by calling one of our offices, or our Country House Department, to discuss the prevailing market conditions and your property in particular, in order to get specific and experienced advice.

Acclaimed Devon chef Chris Sherville launches new cookery school and private dining space in Dartington
A
brand-new cookery school experience is set to launch in Dartington in September, with courses and private dining delivered by esteemed chef, Chris Sherville. The school is to be launched from his own home, having transformed a floor into a state-of-the-art professional kitchen and an atmospheric private dining room. The new facilities provide the perfect setting to learn new skills and top cookery tips from the expert, while gaining confidence in a relaxed, sociable environment. Courses will take place around a large, purpose-built chef ’s table in the kitchen, enabling intimate groups of six students to observe the theatre of the kitchen, while getting hands on themselves. At the heart of the kitchen is an impressive Smeg oven and the adjoining dining room has been stylishly fitted out with an array of smoking hats lined up on the wall. Aimed at groups of
028 • FEATURE
friends, families, corporate groups and hen parties, this is a good way to get together and learn a new skill. The courses will start at £125.00 for a day’s cooking experience and include dinner with wine for the student and a partner or friend. Commenting on the new venture, Chris says: “Nurturing those you love and impressing friends with delicious home-cooked food is a real pleasure, so it’s been a lifelong dream of mine to share my passion and cooking experiences through my own cookery school. With food being at the heart of the home, I couldn’t think of a more apt venue than launching this venture from within my own home.” Chris is renowned for his unique style of flavoursome, creative cuisine influenced by his upbringing in Hong Kong and Malaysia, and further travels in India, Thailand, Greece, Spain and America. He trained at the
prestigious Leith’s Cookery School and has spent decades honing his craft. In keeping with the strong food ethics upheld in his career, Chris will showcase the very best produce from the South West including fish, meat and vegetables from farms local to Dartington wherever possible, working with produce from small family run businesses, day boat fishermen and a range of smallholders. Informative, fun and engaging, the courses vary from easy exotic recipes perfect for rushed weekdays, to leisurely showstoppers for weekends and special occasions. Throughout the day, Chris will answer every day cooking quandaries – what to feed the family for dinner, how to cook on a budget, how to rustle up a last-minute meal to wow guests when they swing by at a moment’s notice, and cooking with alternatives for those with allergies. Together with the tuition, budding cooks will be kept well fed and watered throughout the day with refreshments, lunch and drinks. Partners are then encouraged to join them for dinner and a taxi or designated driver is advised! Guests will be able to take away the recipes needed to re-create the dishes at home. The space and options on offer are perfect for groups of friends and will work particularly well for hen parties searching for a venue where they can combine a fun and luxurious cooking element with a massage and/or beauty treatment as there are three adjoining treatment rooms. Hens can learn to cook lobster, scallops, fillet of beef, make cocktails and take advantage of two on-site masseuse and a visiting beautician, followed a sumptuous dinner and transport home. The venue can accommodate additional numbers for hen parties, transport can be arranged and with enough notice, accommodation can be booked. The entire space can be hired for a special occasion dinner or lunch with bespoke menus and wine list; a Chef ’s Table in the heart of Dartington, where guests can relax in privacy, chat with the chefs as they enjoy a drink and canapés, before sitting down to eat in the private dining room.

The King of the Sea, Dover sole is such a treat, expensive but well worth it for its delicate taste. Do not try and cook too many at once or they will overcook. A lovely fish with a classic treatment.
Dover Sole with Lemon Butter Serves 2 Cook time 6-8 minutes 2 Dover soles, heads on or off and both sides skinned (see tip) 20–25g (¾–1oz) butter, softened Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the lemon butter: 50g (2oz) butter, softened 1 tbsp chopped parsley Juice of 1 lemon, plus extra to serve
Prepare ahead:
The lemon butter can be mixed up to a week ahead and kept in the fridge.
1. Lay the fish on a board. Trim the fins using a sharp pair of scissors (see tip), then season well with salt and pepper and spread one side with half the softened butter. 2. To make the lemon butter, add the butter, parsley and lemon juice to a bowl. Season well with salt and pepper and mix together until combined.
3. Heat a large griddle or frying pan until hot. Fry one of the fish on the buttered side over a medium-high heat for about 1–2 minutes until sealed and lightly golden. Spread the remaining butter on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then carefully flip over using a fish slice. Fry for a further 2 minutes and transfer to a serving dish or baking tray and keep warm. Repeat for the second Dover sole. With a very large frying pan you will be able to cook both side by side. 4. Heat the lemon butter in the hot pan until just melted and then pour over both fish. Squeeze over more lemon to serve.
5. Either present the fish as they are or carefully cut the top two fillets from the bone and gently remove to serve.
Mary’s Classic Tips l
l
Ask your fishmonger to skin the soles for you. To do it yourself, lay the fish with the brown skin on top. Make a sharp incision across the skin just above the tail and start to ease the skin off with a knife. Once it is loose enough to hold, pull the skin off in one piece, using a tea towel to help you grip. Flip the fish over and remove the underbelly skin in the same way. Make sure you trim the fins for a more professional finish, otherwise they stick to the pan and become mixed in the lemon butter.

A Warm Welcome Awaits
Gallery 5 is a gem of a gallery situated in Salcombe’s ‘Art and Maritime Quarter’. Set amongst the working boatyards and crafts people and near to Salcombe’s new Gin Distillery and Bar. A two minute walk from Shadycombe car park, its charm seduces all who venture along historic Island St.
For those averse to the usual formal gallery experience, this is a far more friendly artspace – one which is guaranteed to catch your attention with one of John’s giant Lobsters hanging outside: an exquisite work of art painted with iridescent colours on sea-worn timbers from local working fishing boats, a most perfect invitation to enjoy the relaxed ambience within.
In fact the words ‘local’ and ‘working’ sum up the ethos of Gallery 5 perfectly. Initially set up as a 100 • FEATURE
“Its charm seduces all who venture along historic Island St” collective of artists nine years ago, it’s now run by partners John Aspden – a painter, and Magles Denning – a photographer, who are dedicated to promoting local artists and talented artisans with a focus on affordable, contemporary and original work.
The well curated art on display shows differing perspectives on the various elements, textures, and colours that comprise our landscape. The sensuous; the dynamic; even the transcendent
qualities to be found at sea – all are reflected within these charming stone walls.
Large scale photographs of the local coastline; original abstract sweeping canvases; paintings framed to order; limited edition prints; silver jewellery cast from locally found shells. Exquisite glasswork imbued with gold and silver leaf; ceramics both decorative and functional; as well as bespoke, hand-crafted furniture made to design. All this and more!
John and Magles acknowledge that many of us like to buy art as a gift or to commemorate a special occasion, which increases in value over time….. a gesture that carries memories of a place and times shared. A warm welcome awaits! www.gallery5salcombe.co.uk

New Homes and Land in the South Hams Welcome to the latest edition of our Simply South Hams magazine, with spring and early summer proving to be a busy time for many of our developments. Island Place in Salcombe is a great example, with all six stylish homes being sold off-plan this season. Another attractive new build scheme Fairway Gardens in Sparkwell, a unique development of houses and bungalows especially designed for the over 55’s, has two properties under offer with buyers keenly interested in the bungalows. Watch this space for a further development from Blue Cedar Homes coming soon, in another inspiring location, offering opportunities for living later life in style. Hillfield on the outskirts of Dartmouth has been selling well throughout the year. With only a few luxury properties remaining in the first phase, an early viewing is recommended, please contact our Dartmouth office on 01803 839190 for further details and to arrange a viewing. On the land front we have launched a number of interesting development opportunities from Bigbury on Sea to St Ann’s Chapel and Kingsbridge. Please contact Andrew@marchandpetit.co.uk for further details or call 01548 233100 if you think you may have something of interest, that you’d like to discuss in order to realise its full potential.

We’re restoring the elegant building, which is a local landmark, back to its former glory, with refurbishment and an
element of new-build, designed sensitively and sympathetically. It was therefore imperative to select the right builder for this once in a lifetime project.” He adds: “We are delighted to have contracted Devon Contractors, an independent company with longevity having been established in Exeter for over 70 years. With an excellent reputation Devon Contractors prides itself on employing local people, using local suppliers and sub-contractors, and choosing projects that will benefit the local area. This collaborative company culture makes them the perfect partner for us on this special project.”

All sold at The Mill
M
archand Petit’s New Homes, on behalf of Poppy Developments, are delighted to announce that the multi award winning redevelopment of The Mill at Harbertonford is now all sold.
Andrew Biggs, Land & New Homes Manager for Marchand Petit commented “It’s a winning combination when you have a specialist developer with an eye for detail and a passion to seek out challenging buildings, in desirable locations and restore them sympathetically, breathing new life back into the area.”
Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the converted properties are a clever combination of stylish design, harmonising perfectly with the original character features and materials of this fascinating industrial building. Martha Tabb, from selling agent Marchand Petit, commented: “One of the main reasons The Mill town houses have sold so well, are the on-trend interiors. The steel stanchions and wonderful original old beams raise the bar, on what is already a very enviable specification.”
The Mill is a Grade II listed former woollen mill, dating back to 1769, which has been converted into seven luxury 3, 4 and 5 bedroom town houses offering a contemporary lifestyle in an historical building, overlooking the River Harbourne.
Externally all The Mill houses benefit from lawned southerly facing gardens, with sun terraces, overlooking the Harbourne River and parking for 2 cars.
