Stoke Road, Noss Mayo

Westonhay is set above the River Yealm, with a far-reaching outlook over the estuary, across the villages and out towards open countryside, with longer views that reach as far as the deep-water pool. Terraces and balconies wrap around the house to make the most of the position, giving you places to sit in the sun at different points of the day and throughout the year.

Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo are a pair of waterside villages with a strong sailing culture, set within the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Special Area of Conservation. Daily life here is easy: there’s a post office, pharmacy, Co-operative store, three pubs, two churches, coffee shop/deli and a yacht club with bistro, plus a well-regarded primary school. For those who like to be involved there are plenty of local clubs and activities, and for quieter days there are excellent walks along the estuary and into the surrounding countryside.

Plymouth is comfortably accessible for commuting and wider amenities, with bus services into the city, strong schooling and leisure options, and mainline trains to London Paddington. The A38/M5 link is also within reach, and Plymouth’s ferry port is readily accessed. Watersports around Plymouth Sound and its marinas add to the lifestyle appeal.

The house is arranged to feel welcoming and practical from the moment you arrive. The entrance hall is light-filled and provides excellent day-to-day storage with two deep built-in cupboards. Solid oak flooring sets a warm tone through key areas, and the layout offers a good balance: spaces that connect well for entertaining, but with enough separation for work, family life or quieter routines.

At the front of the house, the sitting room is oriented towards the view, with a glazed section and doors that open onto the patio so inside and outside naturally work together. A log burner sits within a brick surround on a slate hearth, creating a strong focal point through the cooler months. The detail is thoughtful, with features such as picture rails and well-planned lighting, and connectivity in place for modern living.

The kitchen/breakfast room is another standout space, positioned for the estuary outlook and recently refitted. Dekton work surfaces, generous cabinetry (including pan drawers and display shelving), and a full suite of Neff appliances make it a kitchen that’s as practical as it is good-looking: a five-ring induction hob, extractor, integrated dishwasher, Wi-Fi controlled oven/grill and combi microwave, a warming drawer, and integrated full-height fridge and full-height freezer. Karndean flooring keeps it resilient and easy to live with.

A separate dining room sits to the rear, ideal for more formal meals or hosting, and there’s an additional flexible reception room currently suited to use as a family room or study, with glazed doors opening to both sides particularly useful if you want a calm work-from-home space that still feels connected to the house.

A recently refurbished ground-floor shower room is an excellent practical addition, especially after the beach, a swim or time on the water, and a utility/boot room provides the everyday “engine room” with sink, storage, and space for both washing machine and dryer, plus direct access out to the lower rear terrace.

Upstairs, the landing is bright with French doors opening onto the upper rear terrace and garden. The main bedroom enjoys a balcony and those wide estuary views, along with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are well placed, with a family bathroom serving the floor and useful built-in storage including an airing cupboard and additional fitted cupboard space.

Across the house, Honeywell zone-controlled radiator valves support more tailored heating control.

A driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads right up to the front door, with additional space in front of and to the sides of the detached double garage. The front garden includes a pond with a decked surround, and a path rises to a sheltered entrance. Access runs around both sides of the house to the rear.

The garden is arranged in levels to suit the setting: an upper terrace with a vegetable patch and seating area, and a more private barbecue area that leads naturally to the studio a lovely spot for long summer evenings with the view as the backdrop.

The timber garden studio/workshop is insulated and connected with light, power and internet/data, making it genuinely useful as a home office, creative space or secure storage.

The detached double garage has an electric remote-control door, power and lighting, a part-glazed side door with window, external sockets and taps to either side, and an electric car charging point.
