4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Yealmpton

2 4 2

Set in the heart of Yealmpton, this handsome 1930s detached house sits in an elevated, southerly facing position soaking up countryside and woodland views. Situated in a central village location, a short walk to village amenities as well as being set within a generous plot, about a third of an acre, wrapped in mature planting for year-round interest.

The façade has real presence: balanced, individual and immediately inviting. Steps lead up from the parking area to the porch into a light-filled hall where windows draw sunshine across the wooden floors. The sitting room is a calm, elegant space anchored by a modern
fireplace with a gas fire for winter evenings. French doors open directly to a sheltered deck and rockery, so gatherings naturally spill outside through the warmer months.

Everyday life centres around the kitchen and dining space, dual aspect, bright and practical with a built-in double oven and gas hob. It connects neatly to a utility room and out to the garden, keeping the realities of coastal and countryside living beautifully organised. If
you're dreaming of a larger culinary space, there's clear scope to extend the kitchen, subject to planning permission, the orientation and outlook would reward the investment. A second reception room works well as a study, snug or playroom, again with French doors to the
deck for that easy indoor-outdoor rhythm. A cloakroom and useful under-stairs storage complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, a bright landing is framed by a large south-facing picture window, drawing light in and opening up beautiful elevated views. Four double bedrooms are set off this space: the principal bedroom feels calm and considered with its own ensuite shower room; two rooms
face south towards the wooded hills; the others look over the garden and catch the softer light. Storage is well planned, with a generous airing cupboard and a fully insulated, boarded loft with pull-down ladder.

The house takes centre stage, handsome, light-filled and perfectly positioned within its plot to take full advantage of the aspect. Around a third of an acre of sloping gardens wrap around the house, creating sunny layers of lawn, planting and seating areas with natural vantage points. The rise has further scope for more terracing, potential for creating a levelled lawned area, a kitchen garden or creating a studio area, while enjoying southerly views across the village to the woodland and countryside beyond. To the front, a garage and private parking for two to three cars sit discreetly by the house.

In short, this is an individual village home with real curb appeal, a privileged southerly aspect and space to grow, practical enough for everyday life, yet quietly magical when the sun drops onto the deck and the countryside turns gold.

The property is ideally located within the charming South Hams village of Yealmpton, just seven miles from Plymouth; a fantastic riverside village with easy access to the city. Yealmpton is exceptionally well-served with local amenities, including a GP Health Centre, dentist, post office, general store, and popular cafe Nelly's just a short walk from the property. There is also a Chinese takeaway and public houses - The Rose and Crown and The Volunteer. Ben's Farm Shop is within walking distance with a butcher's counter offering a full range of fresh organic meat, delicatessen, fresh fish, and a farm shop stocked with a wide range provisions. In addition, their café provides the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, or coffee with friends. Sitting just behind Ben's Farm Shop is a little Venture Oasis an OFSTED Outstanding Kindergarten. Inspired by the Scandinavian approach to education and a passion for the benefits of autonomous outdoor learning, the
preschool has the whole of Yealmpton's Kitley Estate and its woodlands to explore, and on Fridays they decamp to the spectacular Mothecombe Beach.

For schooling, Yealmpton Primary School has been rated 'Good' with 'Outstanding' features by Ofsted, and the property falls within the catchment area for both Ivybridge Community College, which is rated 'Outstanding,' as well as Coombe Dean Secondary School in Elburton, with buses available from the village to both.

Yealmpton's proximity to the picturesque yachting havens of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo alongside the River Yealm and the stunning sandy coves at Mothecombe Beach, as well as the beaches along the South Devon coastline make it an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts. Yealmpton is within a riparian parish enabling you to apply for a mooring with the River Yealm Harbour Authority for a
mooring on the River Yealm. Yealmpton has fabulous riverside walks, leading to the stunning Yealm Estuary from the property's doorstep and connecting to a myriad of public footpaths to explore the beautiful South Hams. The Ocean City of Plymouth offers excellent shopping, dining, and entertainment options, including the Plymouth Life Centre, The Theatre Royal, The Box Museum, and superb
watersports facilities in Plymouth Sound. Dartmoor National Park and several golf courses are also within easy reach.

If you are looking for a home, with a very generous garden, in one of South Devon's most desirable locations, this property is not to be missed.
