About this property

An immaculate 1 bedroom first floor apartment in this desirable central position.

Bishops Court, built in 2006, is a small housing development in the centre of the village designed for active independent living for people aged 55 and over. There is additional support and assistance if needed for residents with less independence, which is provided by a team of on-site professional staff.

The community lounge hosts social gatherings for residents and some local community events. A guest suite can be hired for anyone expecting visitors in need of overnight accommodation.

First floor apartments can be accessed either by stairs or by lift, and No. 26 is in a section of the development enjoying a night time security gate. There are non-slip walkways to all floors. A regular doctor's surgery is also held within the building.

The communal gardens are landscaped and provide sitting areas for those wanting to enjoy a peaceful location with wonderful river views. The village shops and facilities are just outside the entrance to Bishops Court.

Newton Ferrers is a much sought after estuary village on the northern slope of the beautiful estuary of the River Yealm, opposite Noss Mayo on the southern side. It has a range of local amenities including a Church, Post Office, pub and restaurant, Yacht Club and a primary school. For more comprehensive shopping centres Plymouth is to the west and Kingsbridge to the east. From here there are fine cliff top, woodland and coastal walks and the Yealm Estuary is very popular with yachtsmen. There are 18-hole golf courses at Wrangaton to the north, which backs onto the Dartmoor National Park and at Bigbury to the east.
