a six-bedroom contemporary house in Devon has seen a 30% decrease in price - originally £2.75m, it is now on the market for £1.95m according to the Telegraph picture galleries.
Situated in Stoke Fleming, a small village on the South Devon coast, the property’s position provides uninterrupted sea views on three sides - Dartmouth Harbour, Blackpool Sands and Start Bay and stretches into the English Channel.
The interior is just as beautiful as the exterior, with a glass open-plan living area, gorgeous gardens containing a swimming pool, hot tub and terrace and of course that fairytale ‘house on a hill’ cliff edge. The property is just 2 miles from the city centre of Dartmouth and about 15 miles from the A38 Expressway.
For a price range of 240,000 for a 2 bedroom to 355,000 for a 4 bedroom, this gorgeous coach house waterfront property has been converted into 16 apartments on the seaside in Devon. With plenty of green and a sea breeze, this is a great price for small families, young professionals and larger families alike.
You can find out more about the property on the Knight Frank property profile page, or at the official Lyncourt website.

For exactly £500 we found a house to rent in London in a gated community in Fulham. This particular property offers 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large reception room and fully fitted kitchen. Just a few minute walk away from Fulham Broadway station, this has great access to many central London locations.
As a London based renter myself, I am well aware of how steep prices can get, but this price doesn’t seem too bad considering the amount of people you could probably have living here. With 3 double bedrooms, sharers could benefit from the 2 bathrooms and the (deceivingly?) large entertainment space.
Perhaps the most perplexing characteristic of the Christmas season is how devoid of relaxation it can be. Enjoyable as they are; shopping and gift giving, along with the endless array of parties, dinners and other social gatherings leave you drained both mentally and physically and some look forward to a return to the grind. This year however, some of us were forced to spend time analysing the current state of our fumbling economy. Now that the new year has begun, optimistics may have hoped that the doom and gloom of 2008 would become a distant memory like the drunken haze of New Year’s Eve. However, there is no denying that the current mess is not yet over, and in some cases the worse is yet to come.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development reported on the 29th of December that 600,000 Brits could lose their jobs next year, making 2009 the worst year for job losses in nearly two decades. You can hear the report on the BBC.
Conversely, Gordon Brown and the labour party have recently unveiled a new plan to create 100,000 jobs. Whether this plan would be enough to halt the downturn or soften the blow is anyone’s guess.
Late last year, leading realtor Knight Frank commented that the government’s existing efforts at stimulating the housing market were unlikely to have an immediate or significant effect, and today the state has outlined a further plan to aid those already in trouble of losing homes due to substantial mortgages. A report was released regarding the Support for Mortgage Interest’s extension to include benefits of up to £200,000 – double the previous limit. Waiting periods are decreasing, payments can be deferred up to 2 years and lenders are joining schemes to defer payments.
For those of us feeling mostly secure in our current jobs, there are numerous independent groups providing free survival information for 2009, on websites such as Every Investor and Fleet Street Invest, so that we could make the most of our financial security and ride out the recession in the best possible way.
Sorry about the delay on this post, I promised weekly editions but the Christmas season stopped me from being 100% productive. Or even 50% productive…. I will go with 25%. Apologies, I will be better for 2009.
This property is slightly different from the last, it’s a livery yard on 32 acres of pasture in Coventry, the West Midlands, UK.
This property is very well situated, connected to a number of major highways and contains 12 stables, a tack room, a feed room, kitchen and a full sized indoor school for show jumping and drassage. In my own opinion, this seems like a pretty good deal, but i am currently in the process of looking for a comparison property. An article at Scotsman.com recently cited a commerical office, the Pyramid building at Loanhead, sold for £600,000.
