In addition, there is a separate dressing room (currently configured as an additional bedroom), along with a beautifully appointed shower room, thoughtfully positioned for convenience and privacy.

A defining feature of this remarkable home is its direct waterfront position, complete with provisions for a private slipway—an exceptionally rare and highly desirable asset, particularly for those with a yachting or boating lifestyle, offering the potential for effortless access to the water.

Discover Turnchapel

Turnchapel is a unique and highly desirable waterfront enclave within Plymstock, offering a rare blend of maritime heritage, village charm, and direct access to the water. Tucked along the Cattewater, it enjoys a peaceful, almost hidden feel while still being within easy reach of Plymouth city centre and the wider South Devon coastline.

For those with a boating lifestyle, it provides effortless convenience for launching, storing, and maintaining vessels just moments away.

The area itself is well served by a range of local amenities in nearby Plymstock, including supermarkets, cafés, pubs, and highly regarded schools, along with excellent access to coastal walks, beaches such as Wembury, and the scenic South Hams coastline.

The current owners fully embrace the waterside lifestyle that Turnchapel offers, often using their boat for everyday convenience—whether heading out to collect groceries or enjoying dinner along the waterfront—demonstrating just how seamlessly life here connects with the water.
