Membland Court, Newton Ferrers, Plymouth, Devon, PL8

The apartment forms part of an attractive, historic detached stone building, once the badminton court of the Membland Hall Estate, which was divided into eight individual apartments in the 1950s. The Membland Hall Estate was once owned by the banker Edward Baring, later Lord Revelstoke. Dating from the late 1800s, the hamlet of Membland is mentioned in Pevsner’s respected Devon edition of The Buildings of England. Membland was one of the richest estates in Devon prior to the financial crash of 1890-91, but the estate was put on the market in 1895. The Hall passed through various owners until it was demolished in 1928. Fortunately, most of the estate buildings and farms, including this one, survived, retaining the magnificent architecture that Membland has today.

Just a short walk to the South West Coastal Footpath and nearby Stoke Beach, as well as nearby Mothecombe Beach, and only a mile from the estuary villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, this property is set in the heart of the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The twin villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo offer an enviable coastal lifestyle where the river meets the sea—an unrivalled setting for those drawn to life on the water. Whether setting sail for coastal adventures, paddleboarding along tranquil inlets, or plunging into sheltered waters for an invigorating cold-water wild swim, the natural environment provides endless opportunities for exploration.

The villages have a strong sense of community, with everything you need close at hand—a village co-op, post office, pharmacy, two churches, and a selection of three welcoming pubs, plus a popular delicatessen/café—a buzzing hub of village life where locals gather for artisan coffee, freshly baked goods, and locally sourced produce. A thriving yacht club and a well-regarded primary school further enhance the appeal. Throughout the year, the villages come alive with events, from regattas to festive gatherings. This peaceful setting, where the river meets the sea, provides the perfect balance of natural serenity and vibrant community life.

Just a short drive away, Plymouth offers cultural events, world-class universities, and easy access to London and Europe.

This two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offers a light and inviting sitting room, complete with a wood-burning stove and patio doors that open onto a charming, private courtyard garden — the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Two spacious double bedrooms and a shower room complete the living accommodation.
