Description

A rare waterside redevelopment opportunity with full planning permission and an approved contemporary coastal design. Accessed via a newly created driveway and positioned directly on the water’s edge along Bridgend Hill in Newton Ferrers, this exceptional property presents a unique chance to create a striking, architect‐designed home in one of the South Hams’ most desirable estuary villages.

Benefiting from planning permission to combine and remodel the existing dwellings into one impressive residence, the approved design transforms the site into a beautifully balanced modern coastal home. Inspired by its peaceful creek‐side setting, the final property blends clean architectural lines with soft natural materials, creating a home that feels both contemporary and timeless.

The approved scheme delivers:

• A distinctive yet sympathetic architectural style, featuring a combination of pitched roofs, soft render, and a warm timber‐clad elevation that adds character and texture.
• Large, glazed sections at the heart of the design to capture uninterrupted views across the water and flood the living spaces with natural light.
• A thoughtfully arranged layout with a central glass‐fronted link connecting the two main wings of the home, forming a harmonious, spacious living environment.
• Generous open‐plan living spaces orientated toward the creek, perfect for enjoying the tranquillity of the setting and seamless indoor–outdoor living.
• Flexible bedroom accommodation, including a superb principal suite with elevated views.
• Useful lower‐ground areas ideal for storage, watersports equipment, and practical coastal living.

With its quiet waterfront position, direct visual connection to the water, and its proximity to the village centre, pubs, coastal paths, and yacht club, this property offers an incredibly rare chance to build a bespoke home in one of Newton Ferrers’ most sought‐after locations.
