About this property

A spacious two bedroom penthouse (with lift access) in the most stunning location overlooking a beautiful natural harbour. Shared private jetty. Balcony. Two Parking Spaces. Communal gardens.

Overlooking the beautiful natural harbour and retaining the existing Victorian facade of the original hotel building, which is so familiar to local residents and visitors alike, this sensitive award winning restoration was completed in 2020 and has transpired to be one of the most sought after and exciting waterside developments in the South Hams. "The Yealm" has its own woodland, which after years of neglect was restored including replanting with sweet chestnut and English oak. Woodland walks and seating areas meander through this private ancient woodland overlooking the estuary, perfect for owners to be able to sit and appreciate the views amongst the tranquillity of the woodland environment. A beautiful communal garden has been created nestled in the western boundaries of the grounds complete with seating area and firepit. In addition to this owners and their guests have the use of the private jetty giving easy access to the water for wild swimming or water activities.

The former River Yealm Hotel was opened in 1898 and originally a branch railway line was planned to bring guests right to the front door - but the line was never built. Instead a steamer transported people to the hotel jetty and ever since, those who sail into the Yealm Estuary will be familiar with this local landmark.

The building has been sensitively converted into six two-bedroom apartments. Apartment 6 is strategically set on the south east corner of the building on the top floor level maximising the long view over the water. The large glass apex window and balcony off the open plan living area and kitchen enables the apartment to take full advantage of the morning sun rises & mesmerising views. The principal bedroom in this very special apartment has stunning views over the harbour not only from the bedroom but from the exceptionally spacious and luxurious ensuite bathroom where the large picture window has absorbing views over the estuary. There is a further guest double bedroom with ensuite and guest cloakroom. This apartment lends itself to both full time occupation or a waterside retreat.

In addition to the communal gardens each apartment in the main house has a private, secure storage area in basement perfect for bikes, kayaks etc.
