Yealm View Road, Newton Ferrers

Originally built in 1960, the former bungalow was later renovated and extended, creating two additional bedrooms on the first floor along with a family bathroom. With a lovely elevated outlook across the estuary towards Noss Mayo, Pathfields is now a three bedroom home where oak floors and a woodburning stove bring a natural warmth through the seasons, creating an easy, homely atmosphere that feels perfectly in tune with its waterside setting.

Life here naturally extends outdoors. Southerly-facing glazing draws sunlight into the heart of the house, while doors open straight onto a large sheltered deck an easy spot for breakfast in the warmer months, or a late drink as the light drops over the estuary.

The kitchen is made for both daily life and hosting, centred around a range cooker set within the original fireplace recess and finished with oak shaker cabinetry. Adjoining, the principal sitting and dining area is positioned to capture the outlook, with generous proportions, oak flooring underfoot and a woodburning stove adding a gentle glow. Glazed doors open to a Juliet balcony, drawing in the estuary views and the rolling countryside beyond.

A particularly useful feature is the ground-floor bedroom suite with its own external access and en-suite ideal for visiting family, older relatives, or a private work-from-home set-up that feels separate when needed. Upstairs, two further double bedrooms sit alongside a bathroom. Tucked beneath the pitch of the roof, the balcony off the principal bedroom feels like a private lookout. Timber boarding and a full-height glazed balustrade keep the view completely open, drawing your eye across the water and the village beyond, while the overhang creates a naturally sheltered nook outside. It's an easy spot for a chair and a small table somewhere to start the day in the sun, or watch the light change over the estuary in comfort, even when there's a breeze.

Outside, the generous, sun-catching deck sits directly off the house, creating a proper outdoor living room for the warmer months. Wide timber boards stretch out to give plenty of space for a dining table, a pair of chairs and relaxed seating, while the pergola and trellis introduce a little structure and privacy, softened by climbing plants. Steps lead down the terraced garden, with established shrubs and pots framing the edges, so it feels tucked away and calm a lovely spot for slow mornings, an easy lunch outside, or a glass of something as the light starts to fade. The garden is arranged in terraces with established planting, and there's also a garage (with power and light) plus parking. The village centre is close enough to reach on foot, with a wide range local amenities.
