Dreaming of Summer in Devon
It is not too difficult to start dreaming of summer, when we have had such a cold and wet winter, but I expect everyone is already looking forward to sunny, warm days ahead. And for some, these thoughts and aspirations are focused on their next property purchase. With Spring in the air and Easter around the corner, this is the time of year estate agents’ phones are busy with calls from both sellers and buyers, looking to leap into action.
Located in this wonderful part of Devon we call home, our 7 offices are currently helping those who are moving to sell their beautiful homes and finding new owners, be they permanent or holiday homes. It is the time of year when we can find that aspirational home for those searching in earnest and make their dreams come true.
In the heart of Salcombe, you can ponder on an exquisite fisherman’s cottage, recently modernized to the highest standard, located on Victoria Quay overlooking the harbour and the lifeboat, with a shared mooring for your boat. With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, Sailmakers is the perfect holiday home for £1,300,000.
Meanwhile, along the coast in the beautiful waterside location of Noss Mayo, our Newton Ferrers office has something completely different offer. Sat up above the River Yealm, on the edge of the village, is Harbour View. On the market for the first time in 110 years, the two cottages require complete renovation and sit in 0.35 of acre with outstanding water views. Going to Auction on Friday 28th March 2025, you haven’t got much time to turn a dream into a reality.
Whilst we’re considering prime waterfront property, there is another proposition further west along the coast at Heybrook Bay. Conveniently situated just south of Plymouth and enjoying stunning panoramic views across The Sound and as far as the Lizard (on a good day), this small community nestles in a valley running down to the water’s edge. Charolais, on the market at £850,000, enjoys a frontline position and therefore these glorious sea views from all principal rooms of the house.

If buyers are dreaming of something more rural and traditional, then we can offer them a choice of chocolate box cottages – one just inland from Hope Cove and the other close to Totnes. Tracey’s Cottage is found in the pretty hamlet of Longcombe, east of Totnes, and is a charming period detached cottage with four spacious bedrooms, a contemporary kitchen and a lovely, landscaped garden, all for £650,000. Alternatively Mill Cottage is stunning detached thatched house, located in a private setting yet within striking distance of the beach at Hope Cove and Bolberry Down, with pretty gardens, parking and garage, with a price guide of £850,000.
