Court Road, NEWTON FERRERS, South Devon

DESCRIPTION

Helm Crag is a detached four-bedroom house, superbly positioned in an elevated plot above the River Yealm. Like its namesake in the Lake District, Helm Crag sits amongst a beautiful landscape with spectacular views over the River Yealm to Wembury Wood and the countryside beyond.

Alongside the main house, the property also provides off road parking for multiple cars, detached double garage, detached studio, large gardens, with potential access to the River Yealm, across a private quay.

The property has been stylishly remodelled by the current owner and provides spacious, versatile accommodation. There is also planning permission in place to extend the property to include a grand entrance hallway and new primary suite.

The open plan kitchen/family room is flooded with light from the overhead roof lantern below which sits a large island with breakfast bar. The modern kitchen has a comprehensive range of base and eye level units with a Silestone quartz worktop, integrated appliances, and a generous space for a large dining table. A separate utility/boiler room offers additional storage and space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer.

Glazed sliding doors lead out from the kitchen to a west facing terrace, perfect for alfresco dining or to watch the sun set behind Wembury Woods. The lounge area is incredibly inviting at the end of a long day with the attractive bay window and HWAM log burner in the corner.

In addition to the open plan living space, is a cosy formal sitting room, again a bay window makes the most of the breath-taking views across the garden to the river. An open fireplace makes it the perfect spot to relax.

Completing the ground floor is an en-suite double bedroom, conservatory, and separate shower room. The attractive staircase rises to a light and airy first floor landing which leads to a Primary bedroom with En-suite, 2 further double bedrooms and family bathroom.

Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped with a meandering footpath zigzagging through the terraces, providing numerous opportunities to sit and enjoy the surroundings. At the end of the garden is a pedestrian gate opening onto Lower Court Road, which in turn leads to the access across the private quay on the banks of the River Yealm.
