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.

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.

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. Homes with this level of character, water frontage and historic interest are rarely available, and Tamar Bank is a property that I think buyers will remember long after viewing.

SELLER'S INSIGHT I've lived in this fantastic part of Essex since leaving university many years ago. In those days my only criteria, as an avid water skier, was to live close to a convenient beach to launch the boat from, and Frinton fit the bill perfectly! Since then, despite a job which has taken me all over the country, I've never felt the need to move away from this beautiful area and our next home will undoubtedly be in the local vicinity. Eight years ago, our children had grown up and moved away from home, and we decided to start providing foster care and supported living for teenagers. This change of direction would mean a larger house with enough facilities to accommodate our new extended family, and our own children when they came to visit. We came across Willow Farm House and realised it would be the ideal setting for teenagers with its large garden and swimming pool, plenty of bedrooms for all the family, and most importantly, the third floor was designed to be completely self-contained with three bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen, which would give our foster children an element of privacy if they wanted it. Sadly, the house wasn't on the market but, on a whim, my wife put a note through the door and asked the family to call us if they ever wanted to consider a house swap. Unbelievably they did contact us and we made the move to Willow Farm House in 2015. We have loved living here and the location has proved to be ideal for family living – a safe and peaceful area with everything we could need on our doorstep. We have Frinton a short distance away, with its cafés and restaurants, wonderful beach, cricket club, tennis club and golf course; the village has its own football and tennis clubs a short walk from the house; bus routes from the village into Frinton and Walton; and Kirby Cross station is only a 7-minute walk away, with its links to Colchester for schools and shopping, and then onto London Liverpool Street. The large garden and swimming pool have proved to be one of the many highlights of the house and we've hosted numerous summer garden parties and pool parties, with up to twenty kids in the pool at one time! Our daughter was married last year and her reception was held in the garden, so we have some wonderful memories of our time here. Over the years we've done a considerable amount of work to the property to make it our own; the entire roof and almost all the windows have been replaced, new bathrooms with digital showers have been installed and outside we've added a couple of patios, a tiled lean-to and various sheds. We've also built an indoor Koi pond. We will miss this house terribly, it has so much character and we've made it into our ideal home, but we've decided to change down a gear to concentrate more on our grandchildren, so sadly the time has come to move to something a little smaller THE PROPERTY Willow Farm House is a charming eight-bedroom property, located on the edge of the delightful village of Kirby Cross with views across open countryside towards the neighbouring village of Kirby-le-Soken. Built in c1870, the traditional farmhouse facade, with Dutch-style roof, belies the contemporary décor hidden within. Over the past few years, the farmhouse has been maintained and tastefully refurbished throughout in a 'French Country' style and is presented to the market in immaculate 'turnkey' condition. Set slightly back from the road, and enclosed by a low, traditional cobbled stone wall, the pedestrian approach to the front of the property is via the gravel stoned front garden, planted with mature shrubs and dwarf trees. The driveway to the side of the property affords parking for a number of vehicles and acts as the main entrance to the house. Passing under the generous porch, with integrated log store, the entrance hall-cum-snug opens out into the heart of the home. To the left is a fabulous light filled garden room, complete with indoor Koi pond, and double doors leading out onto the south facing terrace. To the right of the entrance hall, past the guest cloakroom, is the large family sitting room with original beamed ceiling, oak flooring and an impressive inglenook fireplace with log burner. A wide walkway from the sitting room organically flows into a traditional shaker-style kitchen and on into the breakfast room, giving the entire layout a spacious and open plan feel. The kitchen, with its smart tiled floor, granite worksurfaces and gas range, looks out across the sunny rear garden and benefits from an adjacent well-equipped utility room. The double aspect breakfast room, with access to the garden is generous in size and ideal for family life and informal suppers. The dining room, to the front of the property, is currently used as an additional sitting room, but would make the ideal formal dining room for more grand occasions. Ascending to the first floor are four good-sized bedrooms, with the smaller fifth bedroom currently used as a study. The bright, triple aspect master suite has sweeping countryside views, a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room. The remaining rooms all lead off the spacious landing and benefit from a sizeable family bathroom with large walk-in shower and freestanding traditional roll top bath. The second-floor houses three further bedrooms, kitchenette and shower room, making this floor a potential self-contained annexe. Situated in approximately half an acre of grounds, the south facing garden is enclosed by wood panelled fencing with mature borders and trees; various outbuildings (potential self-contained annexe if needed), including a workshop; a covered veranda and open 'sun trap' terrace for seating; plus a full sized heated swimming pool. LOCATION Willow Farm House is equidistant between the town of Frinton-on-Sea and the popular village of Thorpe-le-Soken - both are within the Tendring District of Essex and are located to the east of Colchester. The village offers a Tesco Express offering goods for day to day needs, three public houses, wine bar, restaurant, Chinese restaurant and takeaway, dispensing chemist, doctors surgery, popular Church of England primary school and Tendring Technology College and TLG Secondary School, both of which have extremely good OFSTED reports.There are also very good nursery schools in and near Thorpe-le-Soken (Margery's private day nursery being the one of them). Another further attraction is the transport available locally to the grammar and private schools in Colchester and Ipswich. The village also offers a mainline railway station giving links to London Liverpool Street.Thorpe-le-Soken station is 1.7 miles away which is about a 4 minute drive from the property. The average journey to London Liverpool Street is approximately 1 hour 24 minutes. On an average weekday, there are 25 trains travelling from London Liverpool Street to Thorpe-le-Soken. If you prefer to use road transport, the A120 is a short drive away leading to the A12, M25 and beyond. To the east is Frinton on Sea, a small tranquil seaside town which is home to beautiful sandy beaches and vast 'Greensward'. Many celebrities are known to have either visited Frinton or enjoyed living there, household names such as Sir Cliff Richard, Mike Reid, Gary Oldman, Vanessa Redgrave and Sir Winston Churchill amongst many others. Frinton boasts boutique shopping and some wonderful restaurants and eateries along its main street. There are excellent walks which can be undertaken nearby offering views over the Walton Backwaters and Hamford Water. For those who enjoy boats, Titchmarsh Marina is only a 10 minute drive away. If you prefer to pamper yourself, the Lifehouse Spa, an exclusive boutique style hotel that offers luxurious beauty treatments, fine dining and retreat days is very close to the property.

HillCrest22 The Heads, Keswick, Lake District National Park A Rare lifestyle and hospitality opportunity in one of the Lake District’s most iconic settings. HillCrest22 is a family run guesthouse in Keswick. With its eight en-suite rooms, and separate manager accommodation, it provides a haven for relaxation in the heart of the Lake District. With panoramic uninterrupted views over Derwentwater to the head of Borrowdale, HillCrest22 is ideally situated, with 22 of the ‘Wainwright’s fells’ visible from the guesthouse. The size, layout and versatility of the accommodation mean the property would also make a superb family home. Positioned in the prestigious area ‘The Heads’ in Keswick, HillCrest22 is an exceptional Victorian guesthouse that effortlessly blends heritage, contemporary Scandinavian-inspired design, and commercial opportunity. Originally constructed in 1887 by the then Lord of the Manor, Reginald Dykes Marshall, the property has been sympathetically transformed into one of Keswick’s most stylish and highly regarded guesthouses. Behind the handsome period façade lies an interior carefully curated by an acclaimed Danish architectural practice. Traditional craftsmanship and original Victorian character have been thoughtfully combined with clean contemporary styling, natural materials, and premium finishes throughout. Currently operating as a successful and well-established hospitality business, HillCrest22 presents a rare opportunity to acquire an award-worthy lifestyle property in arguably one of the finest positions within the Lake District National Park.

Throughout the property there is a remarkable cohesion between old and new. Original features sit comfortably alongside Scandinavian influences, creating interiors that feel both luxurious and understated. Dining Room Positioned at the front of the property, the dining room enjoys an elevated bay window with spectacular panoramic views across the parkland towards Cat Bells and the surrounding Lakeland fells. This elegant space combines warmth and sophistication, centred around a modern log-burning stove set within a beautiful marble fireplace.

Beyond this is a generous laundry and drying room, perfectly suited for outdoor equipment, walking boots, and cycling gear.

Guest Accommodation The upper floors provide eight beautifully appointed double guest bedrooms, each with its own luxurious en-suite bathroom. The front-facing rooms are truly exceptional, commanding uninterrupted panoramic views across Derwentwater and towards some of the Lake District’s most iconic fells, including Cat Bells, Grisedale Pike and Walla Crag. The elevated position means the outlook only improves further on the upper levels. Every bedroom has been individually crafted using bespoke joinery by local craftsmen, with interiors designed around natural textures, calming pastel tones, and high-quality materials.

The Heads is renowned for its elevated outlook, tranquillity, and immediate access to the natural beauty that defines the Lake District National Park. Despite being only a short and pleasant walk from Keswick town centre, the setting feels remarkably private and immersed in nature. From the principal rooms, the outlook is almost entirely uninterrupted greenery, mature trees, Lakeland fells, and Derwentwater itself. In fact, only two buildings are visible from many of the windows — the Theatre by the Lake and a distant farmhouse — preserving an exceptionally natural and unspoilt panorama rarely found so close to town amenities. Keswick itself remains one of the Lake District’s most vibrant and sought-after towns, offering an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, galleries and outdoor facilities. The area is internationally renowned for walking, cycling, climbing and water sports, with direct access to some of the region’s most famous Wainwrights and landscapes straight from the doorstep. This is a location that delivers both peace and convenience in equal measure. The Business HillCrest22 was acquired by the current owners in 2010, with an extensive back-to-brick renovation undertaken over the following three years.

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.
