Property description

SITUATION Plymouth lies in the south western corner of Devon and is surrounded by some of the most stunning and varied countryside that England has to offer. Bordered to the west by Cornwall and the River Tamar, to the north by Dartmoor National Park, to the south by the open waters of the English Channel and to the east by Devon's jewel – the South Hams.



The South Hams, in the south western region of Devon, has been treasured for generations as a very special holiday destination – and is still truly unspoilt. Tiny, narrow lanes weave down soft rolling hills and quiet valleys to picturesque little villages where a genuine country pub can usually be found.



There are fine old market towns to explore and Dartmoor provides unlimited walking in one of England's last great wildernesses.



The South Devon coastline is one of the most beautiful and diverse in Britain. The spectacular coastal footpath winds its way beside vast sandy beaches, over rugged cliffs and past hidden creeks and coves.



The waters around the South Hams offer superb sailing on the open sea, whilst the intricate estuaries provide hours of quiet exploration. Safe deep-water anchorages at Newton Ferrers, Salcombe and Dartmouth make a delightful stopover whilst all the magic and splendour of the rugged Cornish coast lies to the west.
