Welcome Josephine Ashby Sales Director John Bray & Partners

T

he North Cornwall property market remains active during general uncertainty in the broader UK market. We have seen an increase in off-market transactions at the upper end of the market driven by owners not wishing to over expose prime property during uncertain times. Serious buyers have welcomed this opportunity to secure solid lifestyle investments. We have instructions to market a number of properties on a private basis, so please contact us for more information or to discuss your specific requirements.

Property transactions up to £1m remain strong with discerning buyers recognising quality properties in prime locations. Those with good letting histories represent a sensible place for buyers to invest, whilst enjoying their asset at the same time.

The holiday market in North Cornwall remains stronger than ever with quality properties and location winning overall. We are seeing a much longer holiday season led by more short breaks, great food and a rich offering of outdoor activities, making a stay in the UK much more attractive to families and couples alike. Our comprehensive letting service, pricing sensibly from the outset, continues to achieve strong occupancy rates without the need for in-season discounts.

With the market as it is, buyers and owners are more sensitive that ever about seeking the right professional guidance. The current economic and political circumstances are naturally unsettling, so there has never been a better time to ensure you are getting the right advice.

Property NORTH CORNWALL

The whisper around

Rock

We take a closer look at the rise in off-market property sales across north Cornwall.

K

een to snap up a piece of the north Cornwall property market without public attention, buyers are increasingly purchasing their holiday homes off-market and John Bray and Partners are experiencing a surge in just such ‘whisper sales’.

The Rock based estate agency, established in 1971, is instructed to sell the majority of houses in the popular north Cornwall areas of Rock, Daymer Bay, Polzeath and Port Isaac.

With a limited number of these large and prestigious beach and waterfront properties coming up for sale each year, the team

CL--64--Email 4--ED--Westworld--The whisper around Rock.indd 2

are able to offer a personal, bespoke service to both buyers and sellers with a reputation built on discretion.

According to Josephine Ashby, Sales Director at John Bray & Partners: “We currently have an equal proportion of off- and on-market sales in progress. It particularly suits a high net worth market who wish to maintain high levels of privacy and confidentiality.”

Parting with a property can be both emotional and stressful and not a time to have too many different faces on the case, which may explain why increasing numbers of buyers and sellers are choosing to circumvent the public arena in favour of an under-the-radar sale. Discreet and

êBELOW North Cornish properties offer some excellent views

é ABOVE What an astounding location!

calm, these sales progress not by high-street window adverts or online portal listings, but rather by quiet phone calls to the right people.

With a comprehensive knowledge of what buyers are looking for, the team at John Bray and Partners are able to identify opportunities and marry up buyers and sellers in a modern day propertymatchmaking service. It’s a win-win for both parties with sellers usually achieving as good a price for off-market properties from buyers who are willing to act swiftly to secure their coastal haven without too much hassle. Buyers are equally able to maintain their anonymity, happy to wait for the ideal opportunity of getting something exclusive.

THE SHARP EDGE OF

design

Built with a passion for uncompromising craftsmanship, Tresithney is the very pinnacle of contemporary coastal living.

D

esigned by award-winning architect, Stan Bolt, this cleanlined property is a rarity on the market, and we don’t expect it to stay there for long. It’s modern to the last touch and, although we’ve come to expect it from the John Bray stable, the attention to detail that’s evident throughout Tresithney continues to take our breath away.

The house overlooks the Camel estuary, utilising a reverse-plan style of living that affords the living space maximum exposure to the sensational sea views. Below, five double bedrooms have direct access to the patio and pool, with four of them enjoying their own en-suite.

The interior is spacious and open plan, with a separate study that’s perfect if you’re bringing the office home. There’s also a self-contained games room downstairs that’s great for the kids, and underfloor heating throughout, so whichever room you’re in, if it’s cold on the outside, you almost certainly won’t know about it.

| PROPERTY

During the summer months, with the pool so close to the luxurious living quarters, you couldn’t be blamed for staying put and soaking up the Cornish sun in private.

However, with Rock beach just moments away, with its wealth of watersports and local restaurants, we highly recommend venturing out, even if only for an afternoon!

In fact, Rock has become somewhat of a hub for watersports enthusiasts and is extremely popular for its fantastic sailing waters. Both Rock and Padstow are sheltered by the Camel estuary, meaning that whether you want to tack your way from port to port, hop in a canoe or try your hand at SUP, you won’t find a better place to do it.

Perhaps you prefer to while away an afternoon with a leisurely round of golf?

Only a handful of courses in the UK can match the nearby St Enodoc Golf Course in offering and its stunning coastal location, with facilities including an 18-hole course; a restaurant and bar; a fitness studio and an indoor swimming pool.

Finally, when the sun goes down and you simply can’t be bothered to cook, you’ll be spoiled for choice by an excellent range of restaurants, all within easy reach. Choose between the Michelin star restaurant Nathan Outlaw in Port Isaac, or the equivalent under Paul Ainsworth, No. 6, Padstow. Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant in Watergate Bay and Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant in Padstow are also great choices. All you need to do is decide what you fancy!

Tresithney is currently used as a second home, however it would make an equally fantastic holiday let, with a location that’s top of the list when it comes to holidaying Cornwall.

t’s no surprise that Cornwall is regularly voted as one of the most popular UK holiday destinations. Of course, the success of TV exports like Poldark and Doc Martin has certainly helped to increase its international appeal, with ever more visitors from America, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Spain. But the biggest star is Cornwall itself, boasting an enduring beauty, replete with wide sandy beaches dotted across the stunning, varied coastline.

North Cornwall is as popular as ever with families for traditional bucket and spade holidays, also attracting older couples and young professionals who can take advantage of quieter times and off-peak pricing by visiting out of season. It’s the perfect location for enjoying a short break to indulge in Michelin starred food, fantastic walking, mild Cornish seasons and a plethora of active watersports.

With this in mind, an investment property in this location is a solid one. If you are in love with north Cornwall and dream of owning your own slice of heaven, local estate agent John Bray and Partners is the go-to agent for properties in Rock, Daymer Bay, Polzeath and Port Isaac.

With the dominant share of properties in the area, the team have 45 years’ experience under their belt, and a successful holiday letting sister agency John Bray Cornish Holidays (www.johnbraycornishholidays.co.uk). With over 300 self-catering cottages and offices in both Rock and Port Isaac, John Bray are on hand to share their expertise with would-be investors, and are the first to hear about investment opportunities in this holiday hotspot.

“Gone are the days when you could recycle granny’s old furniture into your holiday home ‘for the guests to use’,” says Josephine Ashby, Sales Director at John Bray. “Today’s holidaymakers are a discerning bunch and

CLUP--B&B--09--ED--Westworld Creative/John Bray InteriorsV2.indd 3

| HOME

expectations run high – they expect to stay somewhere as good, if not better, than their own home, and owners that invest in design for their holiday properties see a return in higher occupancy and rental prices.”

“Invest in making it a home, not just a house,” says Liz Berman (www.ckliving.co.uk).

“Lovely interiors command greater care and respect from guests and higher rental prices.” She suggests investing in a few special statement pieces like an antique leather chair (to add warmth and patina to a room as well as being hard wearing and comfortable), and combining them with less expensive items like a sisal rug from Ikea.

This sentiment is echoed by interior designer Tanya Leech (www.tanyaleech.co.uk). “Everything needs to be fresh, clean and undamaged,” says Tanya. “What might seem like a sentimental old friend to you will just look like a tired and tatty chair, cushion or lamp to your visitors”. She advises to “look at the interior as if seeing it for the first time; get into the mindset that people renting your home are your customers and present it beautifully for them.”

Today’s holidaymakers are a discerning bunch and expectations run high – they expect to stay somewhere as good, if not better, than their own home JOSEPHINE ASHBY

| HOME “Let the building speak for itself,” explains Marion Lichtig (www.marionlichtig.com). “The aim is to make your holiday home feel as if it has evolved over time, with the careful balance of the contemporary and the classic, so a space looks like it belongs to the present, although incorporating elements of the past.”

Since north Cornwall is blessed with so many beautiful beaches, it’s no surprise holidaymakers long for a beachy, relaxed vibe in their holiday home.

A sure winner for that coastal feel is to use a backdrop of white or neutral tones. “Milky whites or soft grey tones work perfectly to create a cool, calm backdrop, allowing your colours to pop in a subtle way,” says Nicola O’Mara (www.nicolaomara.com). Consider muted shades of greens and blues – even the classic inky blue will work. “You can introduce your colours with furniture and accessories, letting the neutral be your constant theme throughout the space in walls, ceilings and woodwork.”

“Don’t shy away from the unusual or quirky; in fact, positively embrace it,” echoes Elaine Skinner of Camellia Interiors (www.camelliainteriors.co.uk). “Be brave, make it feel like a home, not a run-of-the-mill show house. It’s about creating a relaxed environment and adding texture and colour to give it a livedin, organic feel with a strong design perspective, that will make your guests feel instantly at home. I am a strong believer that no two homes should look the same.”

With a potentially high footfall of guests each year, you need to think practical and durable.

Claire Alderson of Pebble Design Interiors (www.pebbledesigninteriors.com) advises to start with the floor. “It sets the mood for the rest of the house and will make choosing other items of furniture and accessories easier.” That does not mean flooring has to be expensive, just the right bleached wood colour tone and look, for a home by the sea. “A lot of high-end beach houses in Cornwall are now replacing wood and carpet with good quality wood-

look vinyl. The latest ranges from Forbo and Amtico look as good as wood and are far more practical if you are renting out your property.”

“Buy quality, hardwearing furniture but bear in mind that items will need replacing regularly,” adds Elaine Skinner. “Don’t economise on the basics; good-quality sheets, comfy beds and fluffy towels will last and be remembered by your guests.”

For new builds, the vogue is for large contemporary windows to make the most of the sea views. Tanya Leech recommends “keeping window dressings simple and understated, especially if you have a wonderful view, and be sure to install blackout blinds in all bedrooms.”

“Let’s not forget that after all, it is your home too. Decorating a holiday home is a fantastic opportunity to be more playful with your design than you would be at home,” exclaims Lucy Orr (www.lucyorr.co.uk). “The aim is to lift you and your guests out of the mundane when staying. Even if you’re tackling a small space, a lack of square footage does not mean the space has to be bland.” She advises to accentuate the space using bold colours or fun wallpapers with large-scale patterns, and to use mirrors.

“They double the visual space and reflect light and colour.”

ohn Bray and Partners, a specialist north Cornwall estate and holiday letting agency, has been holiday letting and managing properties in Rock, Daymer Bay, Polzeath and Port Isaac since 1971. The business started when local Cornishman and postmaster John Bray was first asked to act as a trusted key holder for a few houses in Rock village whose owners allowed friends to come and stay. A holiday letting business was soon born, which was later expanded into an estate agency.

The business has grown substantially in line with the rise in popularity of the area.

As from the offset, excellent customer service remains at the core of the business. “With a team of 32 permanent staff on hand we can put your property first ensuring the appropriate care and attention that you

would expect,” says Alex Roads, a Director at John Bray Cornish Holidays, thereby ensuring owners and guests, buyers and sellers receive a personalised service. Fellow Director Josephine Ashby adds, “we are big enough to cope with our growing instructions, but small enough to care and with more staff per letting house that we look after, we are able to offer the utmost care and attention for both our owners and their properties.”

The friendly local John Bray team is professionally qualified and includes: maintenance, housekeeping, bookings, marketing, client accounts, admin, tradespeople, chartered surveyors and building technicians. That, coupled with excellent supplier contacts, means John Bray is well placed to offer a unique service for second homeowners who live out of county.

With offices in Rock and Port Isaac, both located within approximately five minutes of every property the team sell, manage or let, John Bray and Partners are centrally located for their owners’ and sellers who find it handy to speak to someone in person, as well as guests and buyers who pop in to talk to them face-to-face about their requirements. With local knowledge that is second to none, they are the ‘go-to’ agents for anything within this beautiful five-mile radius of the Camel estuary.

Cloud Nine, Port Isaac New to the impressive John Bray Cornish Holidays luxury property portfolio, Cloud Nine has been recently refurbished to maximise its stunning surroundings.

Sleeping eight over four sumptuous bedrooms (and your dog, by arrangement), you’ll love Cloud Nine’s chic décor, as well as the generous space that lends itself perfectly to a night in with wine and a game of charades. Even when the Atlantic blows its petulant gales, the living room, with its own woodburner and views out to sea, is a fantastic place to get cosy. And, when the stars are out, you’ll relish the chance to sink into the state-of-the-art hot tub with a glass of Prosecco and your favourite tunes, gazing up at Cornwall’s famously starry sky.

When the sun’s out, the property’s locality to the nearby coast path means you can get out and enjoy dizzying views of the ocean. What’s more, Port Isaac – the set of popular TV series, Doc Martin – is just minutes away on foot, with its turquoise harbour waters, quaint boutiques and delectable foodie options, such as Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, with its elite menu of fresh, locally caught seafood.

The kitchen is fully equipped, offering everything you could possibly need to cook up a storm, while the living area, with two sumptuous sofas, underfloor heating and a 4K smart TV is ideal for getting cosy, should the weather take a turn for the worst.

For sailing enthusiasts, Rock Sailing Club is just two minutes away, with the surrounding coast offering some of the finest sailing waters in the UK, while avid golfers can take to the greens of St Enodoc Golf Course, which offers some of the finest links golf in south west.

Perhaps exploring the local galleries and getting a flavour for Cornwall’s famed produce is more your thing, in which case north Cornwall is your oyster. Have lunch at Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant and pop into Quay Art gallery in Padstow, before taking the ferry back to Rock and rounding off the day with dinner for two at the incredible Restaurant Nathan Outlaw.

With private parking and a pool that’s available to book, as well as being pet friendly, there’s plenty to love about White Star, making it the perfect retreat for couples who want to explore the north Cornish coast, or a small family seeking boutique style accommodation.

PORT ISAAC

M

agical and enchanting, Port Isaac is a picturesque fishing village nestling in a valley on the north Cornwall coast. Relatively unchanged from its days of fishing, slate export and smuggling, it is frequently used as a film location; the Poldark series, Saving Grace, and Doc Martin have all been filmed here.

The surrounding coastal paths are dramatic and rugged as they travel up and down the coves and headlands; sightings of rare birdlife and even the occasional glimpse of a seal or pod of dolphins is not uncommon. Wander down to the pretty working harbour through the small whitewashed and slate hung fisherman’s cottages and while away the hours with a cream tea as you watch the fishermen unload their catch.

CL--64--Email 3--Westworld Brochure--Port Isaac GTGT--2.00.indd 5

The secluded sandy harbour provides an opportunity to go crabbing and shrimping in the many rock pools revealed as the tide ebbs away. Excellent food can be found in the many pubs, cafes and restaurants of the village including the double Michelin Star chef Nathan Outlaw. Round off your visit singing along with the Fisherman’s Friends as they perform their traditional sea shanties on the Platt on Friday evenings during the summer.
