Set in the heart of the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the twin villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo offer an enviable coastal lifestyle. Overlooking the peaceful Yealm Estuary, this sought-after location is a haven for sailing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. With the shimmering waters of the Yealm Estuary just moments away from the property, this is an unrivalled setting for those drawn to life on the water—whether it's setting sail for coastal adventures, paddleboarding along tranquil inlets, or plunging into sheltered waters for an invigorating cold-water wild swim. The children's sailing school at the village yacht club offers the perfect opportunity for young sailors to learn the ropes as well.

The villages have a strong sense of community, with everything you need close at hand—a village co-op, a post office, a pharmacy, two churches and a selection of three welcoming pubs, plus a popular delicatessen/café—a buzzing hub of village life, all just a short stroll from the property.
A thriving yacht club and a well-regarded primary school within walking distance add to the appeal. Throughout the year, the villages come alive with events, from regattas to festive gatherings.
For those who love the outdoors, spectacular coastal and countryside walks are on the doorstep, including the breathtaking South West Coast Path and National Trust-owned shoreline. With picturesque woodland trails and hidden coves waiting to be explored, the area offers a perfect balance of adventure and tranquillity. The nearby city of Plymouth provides a vibrant cultural scene, excellent transport links, and a highly regarded university, making it convenient for work, study, and leisure.

The Property
Parsonage Farm is an elegant and beautifully restored home, rich in history yet perfectly suited to modern country living. Thoughtfully renovated with traditional materials and craftsmanship, the house retains its period charm while offering a light-filled and welcoming atmosphere.
Step through the beautifully preserved 14th-century arched doorway into a home filled with character and warmth. Purbeck flagstones and oak flooring reflect the sunlight streaming in through generous windows, while rich timber accents enhance the sense of history. The three spacious reception rooms offer versatility and comfort—whether curled up by the fire in the cosy sitting room, enjoying a lively dinner with friends in the dining hall, or relaxing in the elegant drawing room, the home is designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining.
The well-equipped kitchen and breakfast room is a particularly charming space, filled with natural light and overlooking the cottage-style garden. Mornings here are a delight, with sunlight filtering through the trees and birdsong providing a gentle start to the day.
Upstairs, generously proportioned bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, all benefiting from an abundance of natural light and calming garden and landscape views. The principal bedroom, with its soft neutral palette, is a serene haven, while the additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or creative spaces.

Holiday Cottages
Beyond the main house, Parsonage Farm offers two beautifully converted holiday cottages, providing an excellent opportunity for additional income or multi-generational living. Thoughtfully designed to complement the character of the farmhouse, both properties have been finished to a high standard, blending period charm with modern comforts. Offering flexibility for owners looking to generate income through holiday letting while still maintaining privacy within the grounds. These holiday cottages represent a highly desirable business opportunity, with the estuary villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo being prime destinations for holidaymakers, the potential for building on an already lucrative holiday letting business is significant. Whether used for high-end holiday rentals, private guest accommodation, or as a space for extended family, they offer enormous flexibility while enhancing the overall appeal of the property.

Bradbridge Barn
Named after one of Parsonage Farm's former residents, Bishop William Bradbridge of Exeter, this delightful single-storey barn is light, airy, and full of character. With two en-suite bedrooms and an open-plan layout, the barn enjoys a private setting within the grounds and opens onto a sunlit south-facing courtyard—perfect for relaxed outdoor living. High vaulted ceilings and exposed beams enhance the sense of space, making it an inviting place to unwind. Like The Cottage, Bradbridge Barn has been successfully let as a high-quality holiday retreat, with guests returning year after year to enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of its surroundings.

The Cottage
Tucked behind the main house, The Cottage has been sympathetically converted into a stylish two-bedroom retreat. This reverse-level home boasts soaring exposed beams, a bespoke kitchen, and original stonework. Light pours into the open-plan living space, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere, while the surrounding gardens add to its charm. A perfect guest house or independent living space, it offers both privacy and comfort. The Cottage is already a proven success as a holiday let, offering a turn-key opportunity for those looking to generate an immediate income stream.

The Gardens and Grounds
The gardens at Parsonage Farm are a true highlight—thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained, they provide a stunning backdrop to the home. With a wonderful blend of formal and cottage-style planting, walled lawns, and tree-lined walkways, the gardens are both elegant and inviting. Meandering pathways lead through vibrant borders, while a charming greenhouse offers year-round growing opportunities. The sense of tranquillity here is unmistakable, with dappled sunlight playing across secluded seating areas and the scent of lavender and roses in the air. Beyond the ornamental gardens, the grounds extend into more natural spaces, offering opportunities for rewilding and wildlife spotting. The private driveway leads to a generous parking area, bordered by striking granite and stonework that reflect the property's historic past.

Potential Building Plot
In addition a self-contained plot on the northern boundary provides a development opportunity to build an additional property (subject to planning permission).

Whether enjoying alfresco dining in the courtyard, harvesting fresh herbs from the garden, cutting flowers for your home, collecting eggs from free-ranging chickens or simply soaking in the ever-changing light across the landscape, the outdoor spaces at Parsonage Farm offer a sanctuary of calm and beauty.
