Full description

DESCRIPTION A period village detached cottage recently refurbished to a very high standard retaining its cottage charm and yet has a contemporary feel. Sympathetically restored and improved by the Architectural Technologist owner, the traditional stone is still evident. Inspired use of glass has created a very light and atmospheric interior. Located in the very heart of this popular community, The Cottage provides a family home and would also be well suited as a fantastic holiday home with income potential. The slipway for the tidal creek is just over a 100 metres away. 

SITUATION The twin villages of Newton Ferrers & Noss Mayo enjoy a delightful riverside setting on the wooded slopes of the estuary of the River Yealm. This sheltered, deep water harbour is much favoured by yachtsmen & lies within a truly beautiful valley in the unspoilt South Hams countryside, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Area of Conservation.

The villages share a number of facilities including a post office, pharmacy, traditional butcher, Co-operative store, three good public houses, two churches, yacht club with bistro, tea-rooms & good Primary School. The holiday retreats and full time residences have found a comfortable balance that propel this thriving community with countless clubs and activities available for the more sociable and active, or long picturesque walks for those that simply want to enjoy the peace and tranquility. Bus services run to Plymouth city centre which is within easy commuting distance. The main route from Plymouth to Exeter (A38/M5 Devon Expressway) is only a few miles away. Intercity trains run daily from Plymouth to Paddington. The Continental Ferryport are also easily accessible. All give superb access to the rest of the country, combined with living in one of the most beautiful riverside locations on the south coast.
