Parsonage Road, Newton Ferrers

The Property
Set back from a private lane, away from through traffic, Old Mews Cottage combines the privacy of a tucked-away setting with the convenience of village life on the doorstep. One of just four apartments converted from the former farmhouse in the 1980s, it has its own entrance and approximately 57.3 sq m (617 sq ft) of accommodation. The current owners have updated the kitchen and bathroom, bringing a fresh feel to these spaces while complementing the apartment’s original character.

A short flight of steps leads to a covered entrance porch and into the hallway. The sitting/dining room is the heart of the home, with windows on two sides drawing in natural light. Its southerly outlook takes in neighbouring rooftops, trees and countryside beyond, while the wood-burning stove creates a welcoming focal point. The room provides comfortable space for both relaxing and dining. The adjacent kitchen is accessed from the hall and combines Shakerstyle cabinetry with light wood-effect worktops and tile effect flooring. Wall and base cupboards provide useful storage, with the sink positioned beneath the window.

Both bedrooms have built-in storage, and the second bedroom benefits from windows on two sides. A few steps rise from the hallway to the principal bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom includes a bath, a washbasin with storage beneath, a WC and a tall heated towel rail.

A successful holiday let for the current owners since 2022, the apartment also offers appeal as a buy-to-let opportunity or a main home in the heart of the village. Other properties within the building are occupied as main residences, contributing to a welcoming sense of community.

Outside
Beside the entrance steps, the paved patio garden area offers space for outdoor dining or a morning coffee. Timber edging and picket fencing define the seating area, with the former farmhouse providing a characterful backdrop. A separate driveway leads to the southern side of the building, where the property has one space within a shared parking area.

Situation
The location brings together the best of village life: a peaceful setting off a private lane, with the heart of Newton Ferrers on the doorstep. The Green Deli and Coffee Shop is just moments away for morning coffee or lunch, with the village shop and other everyday amenities close at hand.

A short stroll leads down to the waterfront, Yealm Yacht Club and The Dolphin pub. It is a position that makes it easy to enjoy the village on foot, whether heading out for a coffee, picking up essentials or spending time beside the water. Restrictive Covenants: The sellers advises that restrictive covenants exist re holiday letting (they were informed that as long as the sub let was less than 3 years, it shouldn’t be a problem) and keeping pets. They also advise that they have continuously holiday let the property since purchasing it in December 2021 and that other owners keep pets. Purchasers should make their own enquiries to satisfy their intended use.
