4 bedroom semi-detached house

The modest exterior, or what can be seen of it from the public view, hides a cottage of remarkable quality and size. Rebuilt and sold to the present owner in 1997, then the subject of an adventurous and ingenious extension and evolution project designed by a highly respected local Architect in 2010, Creek Cottage is truly exceptional. Attached to another cottage and set on a hillside, the building is set well above the tidal “hard”. At a higher level there is a vehicular hardstanding for two, with an adjacent enclosed area which is used as a dinghy storage area, steps lead down to the delightful private and sheltered garden, well out of public view. A paved area is flanked by a well- stocked garden with many specimen shrubs, a weeping larch, and a spiral staircase to one side. A path leads to the front door, at upper level, while steps lead down to the lower level and utility room entrance and onwards down to the foreshore.

The interior includes an entrance hall area, full glazed both to the garden and to the central reception room with its vaulted, white painted, ceiling. To one end is the bespoke kitchen, by the renowned Yealm Kitchens, with a full range of quality appliances, Silestone working surfaces, and island, Quooker tap and waste disposal unit. The addition of the garden room, with high lantern roof and bi-fold doors on two sides is inspirational. A traditional sitting room lies to one end of the upper floor, while the bedrooms lie on the lower level.

The twin villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo straddle the Yealm Estuary. The property lies within the Conservation Area adjoining Noss Hard. Long walks are available from the doorstep, along the estuary and around the National Trust headland of The Warren. Both The Ship and The Swan inns are a short walk away, and there are well cared for tennis courts only about 200 metres from the property. Noss Mayo also includes a church and a village hall, while Newton Ferrers has a range of facilities including a pharmacist, The Dolphin pub, yacht club, Post Office, butcher’s and a local supermarket, an excellent café/deli, thriving primary school, church, modern WI Hall, and bus route. More comprehensive amenities are to be found in nearby Yealmpton (about 5 miles away), Modbury, Ivybridge and Plymouth (about 12 miles distant). Deep water moorings and slipway facilities are located around the Yealm Estuary.
