About this property

Set in sought-after Newton Ferrers, this characterful detached home blends cottage charm with modern ease. Just a short walk to the waterfront, it offers versatile living, landscaped gardens, parking, and garage.

Set within one of the South Hams’ most well-regarded coastal villages, this well-presented detached home was built in the early 1980s to an imaginative and attractive design that blends the feel of a cottage with the generous proportions and practical modern touches of a more recently built property.

Positioned within walking distance of the waterfront and village amenities, the property offers a versatile and well-balanced layout across two floors. At its heart is a welcoming kitchen and breakfast room, designed for sociable living and everyday ease. Granite worktops, a Belfast sink, and integrated appliances sit within bespoke wooden cabinetry. The kitchen opens into the conservatory a lovely light-filled spot for morning coffee or quiet reading. From here, doors lead out to the landscaped rear garden.

The sitting room is a dual-aspect space with a fireplace, ideal for cooler evenings and relaxed gatherings. There’s also a morning room, positioned to catch the light and garden views, currently used as an informal reception space but offering great flexibility and excellent connection to the garden.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, one benefiting from its own en suite bathroom, providing comfort and privacy for both owners and guests. The main bedroom on the ground floor also has a generous bathroom. A large attic space, accessed from the first floor, adds additional scope.

Outside, the garden has been cleverly designed into a series of low-maintenance paved terraces and borders. Raised beds, an ornamental pond, and a decked terrace bring structure and interest, while creating a wonderfully private backdrop for entertaining or unwinding. A gravelled drive provides plenty of off-road parking and leads to the garage, with power, lighting, and water connected.

Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo are two of the South Hams’ most sought-after waterside villages — and with good reason. Sheltered by rolling hills and clustered along the wooded banks of the Yealm Estuary, they offer a rare balance of natural beauty, community warmth, and convenient access to the wider region. With the shimmering waters of the Yealm Estuary just moments away, this is an unrivalled setting for those drawn to life on the water — whether it’s setting sail for coastal adventures, paddleboarding along tranquil inlets, or plunging into sheltered waters for an invigorating wild swim.

The villages have a strong sense of community — with a village co-op, post office, pharmacy, two churches, three welcoming pubs, and a popular delicatessen/café — a buzzing hub of daily life. A wide range of clubs and social groups ensures there’s always something to be part of, for those who want to connect with the local rhythm.

Plymouth is within easy reach, with regular bus services and direct rail links to London Paddington. The A38 connects quickly to Exeter and the M5, while the continental ferry terminal offers onward travel to Europe. Whether as a full-time residence or a lock-up-and-leave escape, this is a place that offers both connection and retreat in equal measure.
