Full Details SITUATION AND DESCRIPTIONBuilt in the 1930's, Summerhill has retained much of the character of the period with a symmetrical front elevation and interior features that include panelled ceilings, picture rails and wooden floors. The present owners have enjoyed the house for nearly fifty years.Their presentation and upkeep has been sympathetic to the origins of the property. Later additions have enlarged the accommodation and there is further potential to extend subject to the necessary planning approval.
Set in a cluster of five individual detached properties located off a shared, private, unmade lane within half a mile of the tidal creek at Noss Mayo, Summerhill provides a predominantly rural setting while not being isolated and enjoys views over the nearby fields. The lane leads into a public footpath to the extraordinary and unspoilt coastline and the South West Coast Path. The nature of the location results in negligible passing traffic. The waterside facilities of Noss Mayo are within a short walk including the renowned Ship Inn, the Swan Inn, village hall, bus route and tennis courts.
The twin villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo enjoy a delightful riverside setting on the wooded slopes of the estuary of the River Yealm and share a number of facilities including a post office, pharmacy, convenience store, excellent public houses, two churches, yacht club and good Primary School. There are regular bus services into Plymouth and the main route from Plymouth to Exeter (A38/M5) is only a few miles away. Regular trains run daily from Plymouth to Paddington and the Continental Ferryport is close by.
Plymouth itself is an historic and vibrant waterside City, well provided with University, Penisula Medical School, colleges , excellent schools, Theatre Royal, cinemas, shopping mall, cafes, bistros and restaurants. The leisure facilities are outstanding with superb water sports in and around Plymouth Sound.ACCOMMODATIONThe accommodation is as follows (Please note that all dimensions are approximate as shown on the floor plans):
