The property
This is a first and second floor apartment, one of two in a detached house in trees beside the river ¾ mile from the centre of Newton Ferrers.
Along a pretty and bumpy no through road, it is an idyllic spot for relaxation and enjoying the scenery.
From the shared garden path, head into the entrance hall where you can make sweet music on the piano.
From here, stairs take you up to the roomy open plan living space where you can watch the smart TV or gaze over the river view whilst you eat at the table.
On fine days, open the glass door to the balcony where the water shines through the oak trees.
You will find two of your bedrooms on this floor, or head up to the next level and two more bedrooms under the eaves with little glimpses of the river.
On this upper level is a lovely quiet sitting room for reading or watching TV.
Head outside to your enclosed terrace at the back where you can fire up the barbecue and eat alfresco.
This is great walking country, with the National Trust woods on the doorstep or the Coast Path for admiring dramatic scenery and strolling the historic Lord Revelstoke’s carriage drive.
Sit out at a riverside inn in Newton Ferrers or Noss Mayo to watch the life on the river.
For more activity, try paddleboarding or wakeboarding, with equipment available to hire, hire a boat which you can moor outside the apartment, play tennis or go riding.
Mothecombe is a fabulous beach which stars in lots of movies, including Sense and Sensibility.
Galanda Treetops is aptly named, a scenic location with leafy loveliness.
About the location
NEWTON FERRERS
Plymouth 8 miles.
A tranquil, picturesque village in the South Hams area of Devon, on a bend of the River Yealm leading up from the South Devon coast (1 mile). The perfect haven for sailors, for those who love messing about near water and for those who appreciate stunning and civilised countryside. There is a local butcher, chemist, post office and grocer in Newton Ferrers and an organic farm shop just two miles away. The village pub, with fantastic views across the water towards Noss Mayo and the creek, serves good food and drink. The area is blessed with many walks that meander along the waterside and across the fields, while to the north Dartmoor's high tors and open spaces beckon those who love wild country. The city of Plymouth with its shops, Marine Aquarium and Barbican quayside area is just 8 miles away while beautiful Totnes with its 'alternative' view on life is a must. If the beach rather than boats is what you seek, you won't do better than the beautiful sands at Mothecombe and Bigbury just a few miles down the road. Both are accessible by road or boat from Newton Ferrers. There are a number of excellent golf courses nearby.
