Mansbridge Balment residential sales and lettings agents cover a swathe of west Devon, Dartmoor, Cornwall, and the Tamar Valley. With offices extending into Plymouth City, we offer the best combination of local coverage backed up by the strength as one of the leading independent estate agencies in the South West.
Established in 1971 by Harry Mansbridge in Tavistock, the company has evolved throughout the past 45 years or so and has a depth of experience few others can rival. Later joined by David Balment, who built the business further, the firm is currently headed by Nick Henderson as Managing Director. Office locations include Tavistock, where the historic town sits at the foot of Dartmoor and the river Tavy flows through and on to join the Tamar valley and into Plymouth Sound. The mix of property here is wide ranging from the iconic ‘Duke of Bedford’ workers’ cottages and bungalows, to modern retirement apartments and substantial town houses.
The village of Yelverton, to the south, sits closer to moorland and is a thriving hub for the rural community around. Nearby villages include Meavy, Buckland Monachorum, Crapstone, Horrabridge, Milton Combe, and Princetown in the heart of Dartmoor. Mansbridge Balment are the only estate agency with office premises on the Bere Peninsula. Bere Alston is one of the largest villages in Devon and lies centrally to the peninsula created by the rivers Tavy and Tamar. The Tamar Valley branch line provides a highly valued link with Plymouth and is popular with commuters and tourists alike. Weir Quay, on the Tamar, is a haven for wildlife and boating enthusiasts alike. On the Tavy estuary stands Bere Ferrers – smaller and quieter than Bere Alston with some of the most breath-taking scenery in the region.
Okehampton lies to the northern edge of Dartmoor and the office covers a wide area towards Launceston in the west, Chagford, Belstone, Sticklepath and Moretonhampstead on Dartmoor, North Tawton, Hatherleigh, Jacobstowe, and up towards Bratton Clovelly and Winkleigh. There are some delightful properties throughout this area, where there tends to be more thatch than elsewhere in Devon.
Mansbridge Balment also have offices in Plymouth – one centrally located in Mutley covering Plymouth city, Barbican, and Hoe, and another specialising in sales to the north of city centre at Roborough.
Our Moor to Sea lifestyle and property magazine has been regularly printed for more than 10 years now and proves popular with local readers and visitors to our region alike. Distribution of the magazine now includes availability at Waitrose in Saltash and Okehampton, in addition to Tesco in Tavistock and a number of other shops, pubs, and hotels.
