Noss-on-Dart marina sold
01 Jun 2005
Known locally as Noss Creek, the 14.57-hectare (36 acre) site on the banks of the Dart, about a mile from the mouth of the estuary, has a long association with shipbuilding and sailing. It is the first time the site has come on the market for 150 years and its sale attracted international interest from a large number of potential buyers.
Michael Berrow, who lives on the Dart estuary, and his brother, Paul Berrow, came third in the Whitbread roundthe-world race in 1985. The brothers have been involved with sailing and boatbuilding for many years.
"The marina has great potential but it needs to be improved and possibly expanded in the future, " commented Michael Berrow.
"We will be consulting widely with key local stakeholders and the community before deciding our long term plans."
The sale was handled by Knight Frank's Hotels division in Exeter, which said the sale has broken records for Knight Frank with over 1,500 enquiries, nearly 160 viewings and over 40 tenders.
