Cottage for sale in Riverside Road West, Newton Ferrers, South Devon PL8

Description

Believed to have been built some 200 years ago, this traditional stone cottage enjoys a glorious riverside setting in the heart of the delightful village with nearby amenities including the village shop, post office, popular Public Houses, pharmacy, churches, tea room and yacht club.

An inspired attic conversion provides a generous primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom and office space (which potentially could be split into two bedrooms and a shared bathroom), together with the two first floor bedrooms, overlooking the estuary scene, utility room/wc and stylish shower room with walk-in double shower. The kitchen/diner is modern and contemporary with ample space for a dining table whilst across the hallway is the delightful sitting room with charming cast iron log burner and glorious south-facing views across the estuary.

At the foot of the pretty garden a charming stone outbuilding now provides a studio retreat right on the water’s edge, complete with log burner for chilly evenings. A lifestyle opportunity not to be missed; a chance to live by the water on a full time basis, but equally well suited as a restful holiday retreat.

Situation

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 harbour is much favoured by yachtsmen and lies within a truly beautiful valley in the unspoilt South Hams countryside, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Area of Conservation. The holiday retreats and full time residences have found a comfortable balance with countless clubs and activities available and long picturesque walks for those that want to enjoy the peace and tranquillity.
Plymouth is within easy commuting distance and offers all the opportunities you would expect of a thriving city. The main route from Plymouth to Exeter (A38/M5 Devon Expressway) is only a few miles away and regular rail services connect the area to the rest of the country.
