The property
At Bridgend, right at the top of the creek which separates Noss Mayo from Newton Ferrers, is this smart terraced cottage, one of nine converted from an old malthouse beside the water.
Modern and stylish, it is excellent accommodation for anyone who wants tranquillity in a lovely setting.
Head upstairs to the open plan living space with its brilliant views of the river and valley sides.
With a smart kitchen and good sized dining table, it is a sociable area in which to relax.
The three bedrooms are spread over the floor above and the floor below, with a great balcony off the upstairs double.
Outside you have a little shared lawn and you are welcome to use the slipway to launch your boats on to the tidal creek.
This is true boating country and there is nothing nicer than sitting at one of the waterfront pubs to watch life pass by on the water.
If you feel like going further, there are good walks including the scenic South West Coast Path.
You can hire paddle boards and wakeboards or join a trip, play tennis and go horse riding.
You can catch a pedestrian ferry to walk to a secluded beach or head to lovely Mothecombe beach where Sense and Sensibility was filmed.
Gillyweed is a fabulous house full of charm and with idyllic scenery on the doorstep.
About the location
NOSS MAYO
Newton Ferrers 1 mile; Plymouth 10 miles
The charming creek side village of Noss Mayo is hidden away on the banks of the beautiful Yealm Estuary. The area is blessed with many coastal and countryside walks. Local beaches, Stoke and Cellars are just a three-quarters of a mile walk. The village is home to two excellent waterside pubs with river views, both of which offer superb meals using the best of local produce.
Across the water, the village of Newton Ferrers, which has a local butcher, chemist, Post Office and general grocery store, may be reached on foot via causeways at low tide. A seasonal ferry also operates between Noss Mayo, Newton Ferrers and the SW coastal path to Wembury. The surrounding South Hams area is well known for its award-winning, sandy beaches and also for the breath-taking beauty of the Dartmoor National Park. All are all within easy reach, as are interesting towns and villages such as Totnes, Salcombe, Dartington and Modbury. The city of Plymouth with its shops, Marine Aquarium and Barbican quayside area is just 10 miles away.
