Saltmere Point: the terrace outside a residence, planting kept close to the stone
Waterside · Valmera Estuary

Saltmere Point

A reclaimed estuary wharf, now a public boardwalk, a tidal basin and four terraces of garden residences behind them.

Saltmere was a salt wharf, then a boatyard, then nothing for twenty years. The current masterplan keeps the tidal basin and the line of the old quay, hands both to the public as a boardwalk, and sets the residences back from it on four planted terraces.

The estuary is the point. It is wide, it is shallow, the light moves across it all day, and the bird counts in winter are the highest on this coast. The residences do not sit on it — they sit behind it, in gardens, which is what keeps the boardwalk public.

What to know

Tidal range

The basin empties on a spring low. Every residence is specified above the modelled 1-in-200-year level; the flood report is in the data room.

Phasing

The boardwalk and basin are complete and the show residence is finished. The rest complete in two phases; ask your advisor which plots sit in which.
