Luke Miller, associate, property sales manager, and Stags Waterside Department, discussed the allure of waterside living, and highlights some of the beautiful waterside properties on the market now with Stags.
As spring unfolds into summer, it is hard to ignore the magnetic pull of the South West’s waterside communities. From the dramatic shores of West Cornwall to the tranquil creeks and estuaries of the South Hams, and the fossil-rich beaches of Dorset, life by the water offers a sense of escape and renewal. This is a lifestyle that inspires, and in today’s market, it continues to attract buyers seeking something truly special.
Stags are proud to represent a wide selection of exceptional waterside homes in places where the water shapes daily life and where history, character and community converge. Our experienced staff are deeply embedded in the communities that make these locations so desirable, giving our teams the knowledge to help you find your dream home and lifestyle, or find the right buyers for your property.
Mousehole, in West Cornwall, is a postcard-perfect harbour village with a timeless haven of narrow streets, granite cottages and shimmering water. Its artistic heritage, vibrant food scene and famous Christmas harbour lights attract year-round interest, while nearby Newlyn and Mount’s Bay offer energy and convenience. Currently on the market with Stags, is Fuchsia Cottage, a beautifully preserved, Grade-II listed home with a garden and double garage, and a stone’s throw from the harbour.

In Appledore, North Devon, a strong community spirit flows through the cobbled streets, where colourful cottages overlook the water and gig rowing remains a proud local tradition. With galleries, cafés and a celebrated literary festival, Appledore’s cultural life is thriving. Appledore House is on the market with our Bideford office, and sits above the estuary with panoramic views and flexible accommodation—perfectly suited to buyers seeking lifestyle and space.

Lyme Regis is an iconic town on the Jurassic Coast. The Cobb harbour wall, fossil-rich cliffs and golden beaches form a spectacular backdrop to a town brimming with Georgian charm and seaside vibrancy. Springfield House, a grand, 6-bedroom Georgian home with sea views and spacious gardens, is ideally positioned just a short walk from the town and beach. It’s on the market with Stags Bridport, contact [email protected] for more information.
The market has been subdued over the last couple of years, but there is now a sense of renewed momentum. Demand is driving activity, but buyers remain highly selective, with quality, presentation and location more important than ever. Strong stock levels are creating a more competitive environment, homes need to be introduced to the right buyers through proactive, local expertise.
Stags has a strong West Country presence, professional marketing, and dedicated, local teams to ensure that every waterside property we represent receives the attention it deserves. If you are thinking of selling or buying, stop by your local Stags office to chat to our friendly team.
