Yealm Road, Newton Ferrers, Devon

DESCRIPTION
A south facing detached bungalow, quietly located off Yealm Road and enjoying very private level gardens with some glimpses of the estuary. The property was extensively refurbished and extended in 2011.

SITUATION
Little Gara is accessed from Yealm Road via a driveway shared with Heron Creek and South Hill, to a private parking area with a single detached garage to the side.

The twin villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo are much sought after and enjoy a delightful riverside setting on the wooded slopes of the River Yealm. This sheltered, deep water harbour is much favoured by yachtsmen and lies within a truly beautiful valley in the unspoilt South Hams countryside, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The villages share a number of facilities including a post office, pharmacy, Co-operative store, three good public houses, two churches, yacht club with bistro and good Primary School. Bus services run to Plymouth City Centre, which is within easy commuting distance. The main route from Plymouth to Exeter (A38/M5 Devon Expressway) is only a few miles away. There are rail services at Plymouth and Totnes to London Paddington and numerous flights from Exeter Airport. Brittany Ferries operate regular car ferry services to France and Spain from the port in Plymouth. These links give superb access to the rest of the country, combined with living in one of the most beautiful riverside locations on the south coast.
