Court Road, NEWTON FERRERS, South Devon

DESCRIPTION

The farmhouse at Old Court Farm was sensitively split in to two separate dwellings in the 1980's. Old Court Farm is described by English Heritage as being of Late 18th Century origins and particular reference is made to its fine slate roof and distinctive chimney stacks. The cottage would now benefit from updating to further enhance existing features.

The interiors retain many of their original features with the traditional farmhouse kitchen and its flagstone floors being a major part of this lovely home. There is scope, subject to the necessary consents, to exploit the attic space.

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.

The villages share a number of facilities including a post office, pharmacy, Co-operative store, 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. Intercity trains run throughout the day from Plymouth to Paddington. The Continental Ferry-port is 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.

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. The leisure facilities are outstanding with superb water-sports in and around Plymouth Sound
