Coastal Living, Buck's Mill, Near Bideford

 Listing Link: Coastal Living, Buck's Mill, Near Bideford.

On the north Devon coast, there are a series of small valleys that lead to the shore. £475k will buy you this sweet little hideaway nestled in a green coastal valley.


Walking the coastal path between Westward Ho! and Hartland Point is experiencing the coast at its best. The beating heat and the coastal Atlantic salty breeze bring a freshness to the soul. The roar of the Atlantic rollers rolling the pebbles on the shore below the cliff demonstrates the power of nature and gives you a certain reference point to your place in the universe.

The dream would be to own a house within walking distance of the coastal path so you can walk out of your door and be on the cliffs in 15 minutes. Watching the season change and learning the ever-changing character of the ocean, coastal living at its best.

The house is the perfect bolt hole away from the Atlantic breeze. Set in a clearing at the bottom of the small valley with trees surrounding it on all four sides. You can cosy up nice and warm by the side of the log fire whilst the winter storms rage outside.

If you work from home you even have a nice garden office, enjoy the commute across the garden to your desk.

If you want walks from the door and a home where you can have a deep connection with nature and the coast then this is the house for you.

Ruined Cottage requires a visionary

Location: Milton Lane, Wookey Hole, Wells, Somerset Price: £150k Agent: Jeanes Holland Burnell, Wells Link: Property Details Noteworthy features: ruined cottage, planning permission (holiday let only), great location, garden facing glass wall. Usually Estate agent photographs are fairly bland but this one is bordering on artistic.The perfect summer retreat up a quiet lane in rural somerset high above Wookey Hole near the beautiful cathedral city of Wells. Of course you will have to build it first. The building part could be tricky, I am no builder or expert in structural engineering but my first concern would be how much work you have to do on those walls to make them sound. In the worst case are they just a large pile of local stone to be reused or with some minor work the walls could be patched up in place. You definitely need an expert opinion on this one.  Even though the plans include a nice extension on the back it will still be small but then again...

Check out that view! Bideford, Devon

The view alone for this house is worth the asking price of £235k . The house is a bit of blank canvas needing a complete refurbishment but could become a dream house with some serious work. Listing link: Check out that view! Bideford, Devon. If you buy this house you will spend your time looking at the view. I give it a day before you order some binoculars or a telescope and the bay windows are just asking for a window seat. The house has clearly seen better days and you probably need to be a builder or need a tame builder to help you put things right. On the upside, the kitchen has already been ripped out so you can completely redesign that to your taste. The rooms are all large and there are some nice period features such as the hall floor and fireplaces. The small third bedroom also has a sheltered balcony overlooking the river, a perfect spot to sit and watch the world go by. The back garden is nothing to speak of but then you will be spending most of your time out the front for th...

This house in Camelford, Cornwall evokes strong opinions, you will either love or hate it and at £400k you need to think this through. Listing link: Victoria Road, Camelford, Cornwall. This is a tale of two houses, both alike in dignity. In fair Camelford, where we lay our scene. This house and you could be star-crossed lovers just like Romeo and Juliet or like Julies Caesar you might need to beware the houses of Camelford. This house is perhaps noteworthy for its character but also some of the style and design choices the current homeowner has made. A jury of 12 people, good and true would debate late into the night of the merits or quirks of the house. Looking beyond the style, the building's essence reveals itself. The front boasts a touch of French inspiration with elegant yew trees in the garden—a noteworthy topic for dinner conversations. The large open windows and the light throughout the property are the stand-out features. The stunning Rococo ceiling and other intricate ar...
