4 bedroom detached house for sale

A commanding home with exceptional estuary views occupying a prime south-facing, sun drenched position in the heart of Newton Ferrers, enjoying uninterrupted 180-degree views across the Yealm Estuary. Built in 1992 and offering over 2,700 sq ft of versatile accommodation, the house is complemented by landscaped terraced gardens, a double garage and ample parking. A short walk from village amenities and the creek, this property is perfect for those looking to embrace riverside village life.

Steps lead down from the parking area to the entrance hall, complete with cloaks storage, leading to an impressive open plan living and dining area, each served by its own pair of sliding doors, one in the sitting area and one in the dining area which open onto a balcony that stretches the full width of the property. This arrangement creates an excellent connection between inside and out, drawing the estuary views into the heart of the home. A beautiful mahogany staircase winds gracefully between the first floor and ground floor, serving as a beautiful focal point and adding a sense of elegance to the home. Alongside is a well-equipped kitchen with door to outside, guest cloakroom and a spacious ground floor en suite bedroom—ideal for visiting family or future-proofed living.

The second floor offers a versatile loft room with Juliet balcony and elevated estuary views, lending itself to a study or studio space. There is potential to extend the property upwards as others have done in the road to create a large bedroom suite (subject to the necessary consents).

The ground floor provides further accommodation including the impressive principal suite, which features a dressing area with fitted wardrobes, a separate toilet, and a large en suite bathroom. Sliding doors connect the principal bedroom directly onto the expansive sun terrace. A further double bedroom also opens onto the terrace, while a third bedroom, family shower room, and a large multipurpose room perfect for a gym, cinema, or games room complete the accommodation on this level. A conveniently placed utility room provides practical everyday functionality. The sliding doors on this floor echo those above, contributing to a sense of balance and a thoughtfully considered home design throughout.

The gardens extend across a series of wide terraces, creating a choice of outdoor spaces for dining, gardening, or quiet reflection. At the lowest level lie fruit trees and a greenhouse, enhancing both the enjoyment and practicality of the gardens. Each terrace provides space to enjoy the outdoors while maintaining excellent sightlines to the estuary, reinforcing the seamless connection between house and its stunning estuary views.

The property is approached via a private driveway, this and an area of hardstanding provide the property with ample parking and a double garage.
