What the owner says: From the moment we first arrived at the private Oxenden Square, we knew this was a home that offered something truly special. Set within one of Herne Bay’s most desirable residential pockets, the property combines peaceful living with the unmistakable charm of the Kentish coastline, just moments from the seafront. The gentle sound of the waves, the fresh sea air and the ability to stroll to the beach within minutes have made everyday life here feel like a retreat. Spending time in this location has given us the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience. The beach is within 250 metres, and short walk brings you to Herne Bay’s vibrant promenade, independent cafés, stylish eateries and the welcoming local shops that give the town its warm, community‑driven character. Whether it’s picking up fresh pastries in the morning, enjoying a relaxed lunch overlooking the water, or browsing the boutiques, everything feels wonderfully close at hand. For essentials, the area offers excellent local amenities, including supermarkets, pharmacies, leisure facilities and well‑regarded schools — all contributing to the ease and comfort of daily life. Travel connections have also been a major advantage. The nearby Herne Bay railway station provides direct links to Canterbury, Whitstable, and London, making commuting or weekend city trips effortless. Road connections via the A299 ensure smooth access across Kent and beyond, whether heading to the coast, countryside or major transport routes. What we have loved most about Oxenden Square is the lifestyle it offers — a peaceful, elegant home environment paired with the joy of seaside living and the practicality of excellent local services. It’s a place where mornings can begin with a walk along the shore, afternoons can be spent enjoying the town’s amenities, and evenings can be savoured in the comfort and privacy of a truly beautiful home.

The Views Boslowen offers unparalleled, uninterrupted panoramic views that go beyond what mere photography can capture. It’s a rare find, with sweeping views that take in various coastal aspects, including the renowned sub-tropical gardens of the historic creekside St Just Church. The stunning vista stretches from the historic creekside church and St Just Creek, through the Bar, boat yard and beautiful creek, across the mile-wide deep waters of the Carrick Roads, and all the way from the Fal estuary to Mylor Harbour and Restronguet Creek. In addition, the views extend towards Penarrow Point, and miles upon miles of rolling Cornish countryside, offering an ever-changing and captivating panorama that will never lose its charm. What the Sellers Say The Roseland is very like an island with a very strong community spirit, and especially through the winter there is almost always some social event taking place, such as the Annual Pantomime in St. Mawes. We believe Boslowen will best suit a couple wanting to retire down here, or a family, to join in the social life or buy a boat and sail. The house has been configured to allow our children and grandchildren to come down here for long weekends or summer holidays, and then to join in - for example - the nearby Junior Sail Training activities, crabbing at high tide, canoeing on the Creek or enjoying the numerous beautiful walks. We have extended the house by building the conservatory, and by adding a cloakroom/shower room in the garage block, so that - if required - it could become a Granny Annex by perhaps fitting out the garage itself as a residential room. We also have planning consent to add a Deck alongside the conservatory, leading around the side of the house, ending near the basement.

INTRODUCTION Aboveways is a captivating detached residence occupying an enviable position within the heart of Lustleigh, one of Dartmoor’s most cherished and unspoilt villages. Originally built in 1927, the property enjoys a remarkable setting where far-reaching countryside views, golden sunsets and an ever-changing natural backdrop create an exceptional sense of peace and wellbeing. Set within beautifully established gardens of rare scale, Aboveways offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find — a home immersed in nature, yet just a short five-minute stroll from the vibrant village centre and its celebrated community spirit. The property has been thoughtfully arranged to embrace its surroundings, with every room and window drawing the outside in. Whether enjoying morning coffee overlooking the gardens, entertaining in the grounds, or simply watching the evening light settle across the valley, the connection between home and landscape is ever-present. Combining timeless character, flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, and extraordinary outdoor space, Aboveways is a truly special Dartmoor home. SELLERS INSIGHT “One of the first things that completely sold the house to us was the garden and the view. The moment we arrived, we were captivated by the openness, the incredible light and the far-reaching outlook across the valley. Being positioned on the light side of the valley makes such a difference — the house is constantly filled with sunshine and the sunsets are simply breathtaking. We often joke that we bought the garden with a house attached. The garden has been at the centre of so much of our life here. It has become a real gathering place for family and friends and we have spent countless afternoons and evenings socialising outdoors, moving between the different seating areas and simply enjoying being surrounded by nature. Our grandchildren absolutely adore it here — they even call it ‘Nanny’s park’ because there is so much space to explore and play. We also spend a huge amount of time in the conservatory. The views are incredible throughout the seasons and it always feels connected to the garden and landscape beyond. There is constantly something changing outside, whether it’s the planting, the wildlife or the shifting light across the valley. The guest suite has worked brilliantly for us over the years too. Friends and family can enjoy their own independence from the main house while still feeling connected, and everyone who stays immediately falls in love with the peaceful atmosphere here. Lustleigh itself is incredibly special and has such a genuine sense of community, which is becoming harder and harder to find nowadays. There is always something happening, whether it’s events at the village hall, the history society, pilates, yoga, badminton, quizzes or the gardening society. It is such a warm and welcoming place for all ages. It’s also wonderful for family life. The preschool is lovely, there are beautiful walks from the doorstep, and the village orchard — generously donated to the community — is such a special feature. We’ve loved having easy access to running, cycling and dog walking routes stretching towards Moretonhampstead and across Dartmoor. Despite feeling wonderfully rural and peaceful, the location is incredibly convenient too, with easy access to the A30 and A38, making the coast, London and even Cornwall surprisingly accessible. Aboveways has given us the best of everything — community, nature, privacy, views and a home that constantly draws you outdoors. It is going to be incredibly difficult to leave.” STEP INSIDE A small entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway where wooden flooring and the staircase rising to the first floor immediately set the tone for the home’s warm and characterful interior. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed in a timeless country style, combining traditional charm with practical modern living. Modern cabinetry is paired with manufactured granite work surfaces, while multiple windows flood the room with natural light and frame delightful garden outlooks. Features include a Leisure electric range oven, integrated dishwasher, inset one and a half stainless steel sink and an open pantry area, creating a wonderfully sociable and functional heart to the home. A stable door provides direct access to the side pathway and gardens beyond, reinforcing the home’s seamless connection to the outdoors. Leading from the kitchen is a useful utility and storage room continuing through to a beautifully practical shower room complete with butler sink, washing machine facilities and additional stable door access to the garden — ideal after days spent outdoors enjoying the surrounding countryside. The principal living room is an inviting and atmospheric space centred around a woodburning stove, with uninterrupted views stretching across the valley and surrounding countryside. The room offers ample space for both relaxed seating and formal dining, while an elegant archway leads through to a cosy snug area and onwards into the conservatory. With tiled flooring, panoramic garden and countryside views, and doors opening directly onto the terrace, this space becomes a natural extension of the outdoors and an idyllic setting from which to enjoy the changing light and spectacular sunsets. From the living room, an inner hallway with understairs storage and cloakroom leads to a generous ground floor double bedroom suite. Perfectly arranged for guests or independent living, the room enjoys direct access onto the decked terrace and is complemented by an ensuite shower room featuring a large walk-in shower. Upstairs, a bright landing illuminated by a Velux window leads to the remaining bedrooms. The principal bedroom is undoubtedly one of the home’s standout spaces, featuring wooden flooring, extensive full-width fitted storage and dual-aspect windows that perfectly capture the breath-taking valley views. The main window opens directly onto the property’s most iconic outlook, creating the feeling of being completely immersed in the surrounding landscape. Bedroom two is a spacious double room enjoying beautiful countryside views and featuring an ornate decorative fireplace, while bedroom three benefits from dual-aspect windows and an abundance of natural light. The family bathroom is bright and generously proportioned, with useful eaves storage adding practicality, while a separate cloakroom completes the first-floor accommodation. STEP OUTSIDE The gardens at Aboveways are undoubtedly one of the property’s defining features, lovingly cultivated over many years, the grounds unfold into a series of enchanting spaces, each with its own atmosphere and purpose. A sweeping lawn, formally a tennis court — unusually level for the village — create an immediate sense of openness and usability, while pathways meander through an extraordinary variety of mature planting, seasonal colour, and established borders. Numerous seating areas have been thoughtfully positioned to capture different aspects of the garden, from quiet shaded corners to spectacular sunset viewpoints overlooking the valley. An orchard and productive vegetable garden further enhance the lifestyle appeal, creating a wonderful balance between beauty and practicality, while the overall setting encourages a slower pace of life immersed in nature. There is ample parking on the driveway which continues to a car port and on to a second entrance, with full access via the neighbouring driveway. There is also a detached garage within the grounds, inaccessible to vehicles, but ideal for storage. Just beyond the property is a public footpath leading to the centre of the Village, just 5 minutes away. Above all else, the gardens offer an extraordinary sense of tranquillity and connection to the landscape — a place where birdsong, changing light and far-reaching views become part of daily life.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of such character, scale and setting, where period charm and modern comfort exist in perfect harmony. Seller Insight 5 Maltings Lane has been our home for the past 12 years. At the time, our children were still young and I was heavily pregnant with our third, so finding somewhere that felt safe, calm and full of good energy was so important. What truly sold it to me was the privacy - it's tucked away, quiet and unassuming, with only a handful of houses. Unless you live here, there's simply no reason to pass through, which gives it such a secure and peaceful feel. Over the years, we have lovingly modernised the house to suit our tastes, including updating the bathrooms. The master bedroom is a real sanctuary, with double aspect views over the garden, it's such a peaceful way to start each day. My favourite room in the house has always been the kitchen. It's incredibly spacious, opens up beautifully, and has been the heart of so many gatherings. It's perfect for entertaining, with the aga making it especially cosy in the winter months. In the summer, the garden truly comes into its own. Set across around half an acre and thoughtfully divided into four sections, it offers something for everyone. From the large patio with shaded areas, to the swimming pool, which has brought endless joy to our children over the years. Beyond that, there's an open lawn with a treehouse and trampoline, creating a great space for family life. This home has been made for entertaining. The generous room sizes and natural flow make hosting effortless. The kitchen leads into a snug where guests can relax, while the dining space has hosted countless Christmases, it's one of those homes where people naturally come together. There's a real village feel here, with a well-used village hall, a cricket club, and a wonderful primary school nearby. We've loved being able to cycle to local spots, enjoy the nearby pub, visit the working windmill, and take in the beautiful surrounding walks. What I will miss most is the way this home brings people together. The entertaining spaces, the summers around the pool, and the simple joy of the garden - it's all been so special. The pool, in particular, has been a huge part of our family life, enjoyed all year round thanks to being heated, and it's something my children will especially miss.

Set in a remarkable position on the banks of the River Tamar, Tamar Bank is an exceptional waterside residence offering direct access to the shoreline below, outstanding river views and a rare connection with one of Cornwall’s most historic waterfront settings. Believed to date back to the mid-19th century, the property occupies a commanding position along Old Ferry Road and enjoys approximately 20 metres of water frontage. It is a home of genuine character, scale and atmosphere, with its outlook, history and setting combining to create a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. From the changing tides and passing boats to the far-reaching views across the Tamar, River Tavy and towards the Tamar Bridge and Royal Albert Bridge, Tamar Bank is a property where the waterside position is not simply a backdrop, but a defining part of everyday life. The House The accommodation is generous, elegant and highly versatile, arranged to suit family life, entertaining, home working and multi-generational living. A grand entrance hall creates an immediate sense of arrival and leads through to a series of well-proportioned reception spaces. The main sitting room provides a comfortable and welcoming space, complete with a wood burner, while the formal dining room is ideal for family gatherings and more formal entertaining. One of the standout rooms is the triple-aspect sunroom, which takes full advantage of the position and frames wonderful views across the water towards the River Tavy, the Tamar Bridge and Brunel’s Royal Albert Bridge. The kitchen is a tremendous space, well appointed and designed as a practical yet sociable heart of the home, with a fitted utility room positioned nearby. Also on the ground floor is a further bedroom or study, offering excellent flexibility for those working from home, accommodating guests or seeking a more adaptable layout. A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation, with internal access also leading through to the double garage. On the first floor, four well-proportioned double bedrooms continue the sense of space. The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, featuring a dressing area and en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Throughout the home, the river views provide a constant reminder of the property’s exceptional setting. The lower ground floor offers three versatile basement rooms, providing useful additional space and scope for a variety of future uses, subject to any necessary consents. This area could appeal to buyers seeking storage, hobby space, a workshop, home office potential or further lifestyle accommodation. History Tamar Bank is a home with a fascinating history, believed by the current owners to date from around 1841. Its position on Old Ferry Road places it within one of Saltash’s most atmospheric riverside settings, overlooking a landscape shaped by river travel, maritime activity and the historic crossing between Cornwall and Devon. One of the early owners is understood to have been Captain Charles Bampfield Yule, a notable Royal Navy officer and surveyor associated with Admiralty expeditions around Australia, New Guinea and the wider Pacific. His work is understood to be linked with Heron Island in Queensland, while Yule Island in Papua New Guinea is also believed to have been named after him. The property is also understood to have connections with the du Maurier family, adding a further literary association to a house already rich in character. The current owners also understand that Tamar Bank was used during both the First and Second World Wars, including wartime military occupation and associations with senior military figures. Together, these connections give Tamar Bank a rare sense of provenance, combining maritime history, literary interest, wartime association and a truly memorable waterside setting. Outside & Gardens Outside, the gardens extend to approximately 0.22 acres and lead down towards the water’s edge, where a private gateway provides direct access to the shoreline below. This direct connection to the river is one of the property’s most special features and offers a rare waterside lifestyle in the heart of Saltash. The gardens have been arranged to make the most of the outlook, with a mixture of raised terraces, lawned areas and decked seating spaces. These areas provide excellent opportunities for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining, all while enjoying the movement, light and atmosphere of the river. Whether launching a kayak from the shore, enjoying evening drinks overlooking the water, watching the tides change or simply taking in the beauty of the Tamar, Tamar Bank offers a lifestyle that feels both peaceful and wonderfully connected to its surroundings. Location Old Ferry Road is one of Saltash’s most atmospheric riverside settings, following the water past Brunel Green and a collection of character cottages. The area has a strong maritime heritage and remains closely connected to the river, with nearby slipways, boat storage and waterside walks all adding to the appeal. Despite its beautiful waterside position, Tamar Bank remains highly convenient for day-to-day amenities. Saltash offers a good range of local shops, a Waitrose supermarket, schools, cafés and services, while the nearby China Fleet Country Club provides golf and leisure facilities. For sailing and watersports enthusiasts, Saltash has a busy sailing club, visitor pontoon, public slipways and access to nearby mooring opportunities. Plymouth city centre, the A38 and Saltash railway station are also within easy reach, making this a rare waterside home that combines beauty, history, practicality and convenience in equal measure. Agent’s Comment Tamar Bank is a truly memorable waterside home. The moment you arrive, there is a real sense that this is a property with a story, from its position on Old Ferry Road and its outlook across the Tamar, to its direct access down to the shoreline below. For me, the magic of the house is the way it combines practicality with atmosphere. It is a generous and versatile family home, but it also has that rare emotional pull that only certain waterside properties seem to have. The views, the garden, the changing tides and the sense of history all add to the feeling that this is somewhere very special.

Central to the farmstead is a partially renovated farmhouse which bears a date stone of 1716. Finished to first fix level, it is ready for kitchen and bathroom fittings, joinery and decoration. There is provision for two reception rooms, a large kitchen, four double bedrooms, a bathroom and ensuite. Attached is a converted barn for holiday lets, work is complete and offers a large living kitchen, three double bedrooms, all being ensuite. Thirdly, is a further attached barn, whilst the conversion has started, it requires completion. Planning permission exists and could provide two further holiday units; a single bedroomed unit in the basement with disabled access and a two bedroomed maisonette above. Not just a home, there’s potential to derive a second income through holiday letting. It may be possible to accommodate a dependent relative or have a permanent base for guests to stay. You may even decide to combine properties and create a more substantial main residence (all subject to the necessary consents). Adding versatile amenity value is a large agricultural building which provides ample space for parking, workshops, stabling and storage. This is all set within c.5.29 acres of grounds which includes a garden and field. It’s ideal for those looking to keep stock or chickens, grow their own veg or just let dogs and children run loose. Living here is an opportunity to embrace country living, to be closer to nature and live at one with seasons, to escape the hubbub of life and embrace the good life. Vendor Insight We value the peace and tranquillity here. It’s one of the very few places where there is zero motorway noise. The most traffic we see is when the Tour de Yorkshire or the yearly overnight rally stage passes by. So, whether we’re enjoying the view from our favourite window as the weather marches across the fells or the quiet of a sunrise on the terrace with a cuppa, or even sharing a sunset with friends around a roaring fire we’re conscious that we will disturb no-one and no-one will disturb us. Bank End has been a wonderful place to live and bring up a family. Our children have had the freedom and space to roam and play in safety. They have been able to toboggan down the field when it snowed, build swings in the trees, make forts in the barns or just wander about the fields, all just a shout away from the main house. An unrivalled location It is easy to fall in love with this extraordinary setting; on offer is peace and quiet, privacy and total seclusion and furthermore, tremendous views. Whilst you may be relaxing into splendid rural isolation, Bank End Farm remains well connected with the outside world. B4RN broadband provides a gigabit fibre service so whether it’s streaming the latest films, music or games, ordering an online grocery delivery or achieving an effective work life balance, it is all possible from here. There is a station in the nearest large village of Bentham with regular services to Leeds and connections via Lancaster station on the main west coast line to Manchester, Manchester Airport, London (Euston), Glasgow and Edinburgh. The M6 is accessible at Kendal or Lancaster depending on the direction of your travel and the A65 provides routes into Yorkshire and the east of the country. For those looking to explore the great outdoors, there could be no better place. It’s all on the doorstep; whether you choose to walk, run, cycle, drive or ride. There are good schools locally at both primary and secondary level as well as a host of artisan food producers and great cafes, pubs and restaurants for eating out. Vendor Insight It’s a unique location, standing alone at the end of its own drive, Bank End Farm is one of the last intact smallholdings in one of the most beautiful parts of the world and the views down the valley from first turning into the lane to the views across the fells from everywhere on the property are breathtaking. During the night the zero light pollution is ideal for star-gazers and we have spent many evenings sitting around a fire on the southern terrace enjoying the moonlight looking for shooting stars and, more recently, satellites. There’s a very strong sense of community here, possibly more so than in a village. We have wonderful neighbours; they have never been intrusive but have always been ready to help if needed. There are community events every year such as Bentham Agricultural Show and the Lowgill Sports Day which features a duck race and sheep trials among other events. Offering potential for four properties Barn conversion for holiday letting With a south and westerly orientation, the converted barn enjoys dramatic sweeping views. Finished with a modern country aesthetic, the accommodation is laid out over three floors. There’s much use of pine internal joinery and deep stone window cills alongside modern comforts such as PVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating (underfloor on the ground floor). The kitchen cabinets are oak fronted and the bath and shower rooms are all contemporary in their appointments. On the ground floor, the front door leads into an airy, double height staircase hall with a gallery landing above. Off the hall is a downstairs loo and area to hang coats. The rest of the ground floor is one big, sociable room. Here a picture window draws you forward as the view is truly breathtaking, the room is exceptionally spacious and with ample space to cook, dine and recline in comfort. Off the roomy first floor landing is an airing cupboard and two double bedrooms, both having ensuite bathrooms with rainfall showers over the baths. The stairs continue to the second floor with a third double bedroom set in the roof space with an ensuite shower room. Farmhouse Following the layout of a traditional Yorkshire Long House, with a barn either side the 1700s farmhouse is central to the layout. Renovation is well under way with first fix plumbing and electrics in place, plastering complete and PVC windows installed. The project is now ready for you to choose your own fixtures and fittings, personalise and equip your own dream country home. Befitting of the period of the house, there are some attractive character features which have been retained and incorporated within the restoration, these include the carved date stone, oak ceiling beams, wooden lintels over windows, oak lined recesses and stone mullion windows. The ground floor comprises three large rooms, a vintage Aga cooking range has been kept, it sits within a stone surround and is ready for overhaul. The other two rooms both have flue liners ready for your choice of stove and doors out to the large south facing terrace. The views from all three rooms are extensive. Off the first-floor landing there is provision for four double bedrooms; two of which have ceilings rising high to the roof’s apex with exposed original roof trusses. There is potential for a house bathroom and ensuite shower room. Barn with planning approval for conversion to two holiday letting properties. With a southeast perspective, the third property is a second attached barn, the conversion has commenced, the works comprising a new roof, pointing and drains laid. Planning permission exists for change of use of this redundant agricultural building to form additional holiday accommodation. (Ref: 03/01107/CU dated 19/11/03) and could provide two further properties; a single bedroomed unit in on the ground floor and a two bedroomed unit in the two upper floors. This is an opportunity to live a greener life. Bank End Farm is off grid, with no mains provision of services. Opportunities exist to expand the provision and embrace self-sufficiency and eco credentials further. Vendor Insight Most of all Bank End has always felt like home and a safe place to come back to. Bought on a handshake, it was almost as if Bank End chose us and we have always had the sense that living there has been a privilege. Gardens A substantial split-level sandstone flagged terrace lies to the front of the property, beyond this is a lawn. The terrace and garden face almost due south and command vast, wide open panoramic views of the sweeping fells to the south and over to the west. Truly extraordinary, the views are a constant evolving delight with farming activity and the changing weather and rolling seasons. To the rear of the properties is a large area for parking. Land Adjoining the garden, the field offers opportunity for animal husbandry, growing your own fruit and vegetables, adventure and play. A large multi-purpose agricultural building, with power and light, provides ample space for parking, machinery, general storage, workshops and sheltering animals. Both the land and large building are essential elements to enhance and add value to any country lifestyle. In total, the property extends to c. 5.29 acres. Vendor Insight All the fields and fells around Bank End are working farmland and we enjoy feeling close to it. During summer calves spend time at the lower gate and at various times of the year the fells ring with the sound of all the local farmers working together to bring the sheep down from wherever they are hefted on the fells. We live with a rich diversity of wildlife; kestrels, buzzards, woodpeckers, little owls, barn owls, wagtails, blackbirds, great tits and many more all live on or around and local twitchers are often to be seen. A few years ago, sightings of a hooded crow caused great excitement. Planning Planning permission was granted by Lancaster City Council reference 03/01107/CU dated 19/11/03 for the “Change of use of redundant agricultural buildings to form additional living accommodation to existing dwelling and to provide holiday accommodation.” Please note A public footpath crosses the land to the rear of the barn conversion.

Electricity is provided by a wind turbine and 16 solar panels via an inverterthis is stored in batteries to provide a 240 V supply to the four properties. There is also a backup diesel generator. Private water from a spring which rises in an enclosed area on the fell to the north of the property and is fed to two large holding tanks with filters with further filtration and treatment as it enters the property.

Directions what3words mint.tens.awakening Use Sat Nav LA2 8RE with reference to the directions below: From High Bentham, take Station Road in the centre of the village by The Black Bull. Drive down, passing the railway station on the right and then up and out of the village. As the road climbs, the houses become more infrequent, until you emerge out on the moor. This is the road to Slaidburn. The trick is to count the cattlegrids and keep going until you have crossed five. Immediately before the fifth cattlegrid is a turning to Lowgill, keep on the main lane and after crossing the fifth cattlegrid after about 50m there is the entrance to Bank End Farm on the right. It is set back from the lane and over a sixth cattlegrid. The private drive leads only to the farm. Drive slowly, you’ll want to take in the magnificent view. You’ve arrived!
