Newton Ferrers is a beautiful and much sought after village situated on the banks of the Yealm Estuary. Surrounded by ancient woodland and creeks, this bustling community offers everything you would hope for in a village, including a well-regarded primary school, traditional pubs, a village shop and a café. Located within the South Hams, this area is known for its sandy beaches, coves and estuaries, with excellent opportunities for walking, paddleboarding, sailing and other coastal pursuits. Plymouth, Britain’s Ocean City is 10 miles away and is known for its shopping, museums, venues, maritime heritage, seafront lido and busy international port. Communications are excellent, with Plymouth mainline station providing regular rail services to London Paddington and the A38 Devon Expressway linking the M5 at Exeter or crossing the Tamar and heading west into Cornwall.
The development is one site with detailed permission to build two detached houses with elevated estuary views.
Both properties will offer lovely views, spacious reception areas with a superb open plan kitchen / dining / living room with access to a south facing terrace, and three bedrooms. For further details and sight of all all the planning documents, please visit

We understand there is a Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) payable. SHDC calculated the BNG charge for this whole site as being 0.6759 Habitat Unit (HU). The flat charge is £20,000 per HU, therefore the total charge for the site is £20,000 x 0.6759 which equals £13,518. This charge is payable prior to breaking ground.
