Distinctly Westcountry – latest edition out now

Edition 17 of Distinctly Westcountry magazine is out now and available to collect from Property Sharing Expert (PSE) estate agencies throughout the region.

Distinctly Westcountry showcases a selection of the most delectable homes currently on the market with over 85 estate agency offices across Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Bristol.

With Distinctly Westcounty, distinctive isn't just mansions and castles, it also encompasses more humble and unassuming properties with exquisite features and those in exceptional locations.

The current issue features a number of homes under £300,000…

For sale with Woods Bryce Baker is a two bedroom Victorian apartment at £215,000 and a two bedroom town house in an exclusive cul-de-sac location at £249,950, both in Torquay. Orchards Estates is offering a Georgian house in Sherborne, constantly voted as one of the best places in the UK to live, at £230,000. On the market with Force & Sons is a lovely thatched character cottage in Dawlish at £249,950. For sale with Gibbins Richards in Taunton is a quintessentially English cottage in Isle Abbotts dating some 250 years brimming with well-preserved architectural features at a guide price of £250,000 - £260,000. And there is a spacious two bedroom apartment with spectacular coastal views just a few minutes' walk of the beach at Woolacombe on the market with Turners in Ilfracombe at £279,950.

These sit alongside barn conversions, equestrian smallholdings, period and thatched cottages, farmhouses and landed properties, riverside homes, town houses and country residences, homes with separate accommodation and lettings opportunities and those with superb views as well as a penthouse apartment, an 'eco' home, a former mill, part of a former rectory and a converted chapel.

Two are former accommodation businesses: a handsome detached house in Torquay, which was self-catering holiday flats and is now on the market with Torquay Real Estate at £795,000, and a substantial Grade II Listed detached house in Brixham - originally built for a sea captain, this house has views of the harbour, Torbay and the surrounding coastline and has been successfully run as a hotel, guest house and holiday let business for almost three decades, for sale with Churchills in Brixham at £775,000.

Offering a lifestyle choice of a retail kind is a shop with accommodation above in the popular resort of Combe Martin on North Devon's coast, on the market at £425,000 with Turners in Ilfracombe.

And there are three development opportunities:

A plot with exceptional views and planning consent for an architect designed four bedroom house near Shaldon, Devon is on the market with Woods in Newton Abbot at £599,999.

Rendells in Totnes is offering a fine listed period farmhouse along with a range of traditional barns with planning permission for four character homes as well as two holiday cottages near Kingsbridge for a sum in the region of £1,395,000.

And Simon Williams Estate Agents in Clevedon has on the market two modest detached bungalows, which together offer possibly one of the most desirable development opportunities in the Somerset area at the moment. The bungalows occupy a site of approximately three acres with unobstructed views across Bristol Channel; a site which could be suitable for the erection of 3-4 high profile detached properties subject to consents. The agent is asking for offers over £800,000 for the site. 

Copies of the magazine are also available in London – from the Distinctly Westcountry W1 office on Regent Street and from the offices of Lawsons & Daughters in Fulham.
