We're delighted you've joined us on our page. We hope you'll see something you like, and that you stick around!

The Coastal House is a bespoke estate agency, specialising in unique and premium homes in South Devon. Founded by Julie Hill, our aim is to showcase properties in the best possible way to get the results our clients would be delighted with. Here are some examples of the special methods and techniques we use at The Coastal House to market a unique home to a unique buyer, in a unique way:

Lifestyle photography

Specialist print finishes and formats

Bespoke for sale board

Whether a home is unique because of its location, view, style, accommodation or something else, it's important to keep in mind that your home will not be for everyone. And that's ok. Because it will be absolutely perfect for someone. And that someone will be much more likely to pay the asking price, or close to it, to get the home of their dreams.

Our distinctive property marketing services are not right for every home, but those clients we do help consistently sell quicker, and for a higher price.

If you have a unique, unusual, quirky or otherwise special home, we'd love to talk to you. Because we only sell homes that are unlike any others, we are true experts, and can really help you to plan a successful strategy to capture the heart of your perfect buyer

Just call us - we'd love to hear from you.
