Situation

Heybrook Bay is a small sea-front village with a real sense of community. Beach Road is a private, no through road, 16m above sea level, serving only a handful of properties that enjoy direct sea views, in the waterside community of Heybrook Bay. Situated on the South West coastal path, in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there is direct access to the water and at low tide, quiet sandy coves are accessible. Amazing snorkelling and sea kayaking/paddle boarding are accessible from the pebbled beach in Heybrook Bay and are a short walk from the property. The Eddystone Inn serves good pub food and on a clear day offers views across the water to its famous namesake, the lighthouse which warns sailors of the infamous rocks on the approach into Plymouth Sound. The coast path offers a great walking route to Wembury with its National Trust beach (approx. 1.5 miles) to the East and Bovisand (approx. 1.5 miles) to the West. A small convenience store at the village of Down Thomas is just over a mile away.

Nearby Plymstock has the Broadway shopping area (approx. 4 miles) where a range of independent shops, Lidl supermarket, health centre and library can be found. At Mountbatten watersports centre, there are opportunities for sailing, kayaking, diving and stand up paddle boarding. The city centre of the historic waterfront city of Plymouth is 6.5 miles and offers a range of department stores, banks, cafés, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, main line train station, international ferry port, marinas and a major hospital.
