Situation and description This most attractive Georgian property which stands in magnificent private gardens and grounds, has been skilfully converted to provide excellent spacious apartments. The apartment is situated on the second floor and overlooks the gardens and grounds. The accommodation is elegant and well proportioned and is ideal as either a permanent or holiday home. The shared ground floor Reception Hall and a gently rising staircase lead to a gracious landing. The twin villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo enjoy a delightful riverside setting on the wooded slopes of the estuary of the River Yealm. This sheltered, deep water mooring is much favoured by yachtsmen and a truly beautiful valley within the unspoilt South Hams countryside, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The villages share a number of facilities including a post office, pharmacy, traditional butchers, Co-operative stores, three good public houses, two churches, yacht club with bistro and good Primary School. 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.

Plymouth itself is an historic and vibrant waterside City, well provided with colleges, grammar and public schools, modern university, the Peninsula Medical School, Theatre Royal and cinemas, large department stores, cafes, bistros and restaurants.
