A semi detached house, believed late 18th century, with large garden, generous outbuildings, garaging and private courtyard parking, enjoying panoramic southerly views over Yealmpton and the surrounding countryside.

Positioned high above the village and commanding remarkable "bird's-eye" views, the property offers a rare chance to acquire a characterful and surprisingly private property within a short walk of the multitude of amenities that Yealmpton has to offer. The property is accessed from a private service lane and is well away from passing traffic.

Thought to have been built, with its adjoining neighbour, as one classic "villa", in about 1780, and divided in about 1931, the house retains many architectural features of its period. Having been in the same ownership for the past 53 years the house has been steadily improved over the years. A very special attribute is the large walled and obviously productive garden which benefits from the open southerly aspect. Additional to the single garage there is a large workshop/garage (27'6" x 17'9") which has sliding doors from a courtyard and has previously been used as a builder's premises.

Yealmpton is a comprehensively equipped village including a large health centre with dispensary, Post Office, general stores, café, hairdressers, optician, two pubs, garage/filling station, regular bus route, primary school, two churches, and the well-respected Ben's Farm Shop. A remarkable network of footpaths lie around the village in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and particularly the River Yealm Valley. Mothecombe, Wembury and many other superb South Hams beaches are within 15/20 minutes' drive. Plymouth's City Centre and Waterfront are about 7 miles distant while the yachtsmen's haven of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo is only 3.5 miles away.

Mains water, gas, electricity and drainage.
