We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Set above Noss Creek, this detached home enjoys an exceptional outlook across the water, with the principal rooms oriented towards the view and a west-facing balcony that makes the most of the afternoon and evening light.
Currently arranged as a two-bedroom main house with a self-contained annexe below, it combines a strong connection to the water with excellent scope for further enhancement over time.
The kitchen/breakfast room has space for a table by the window, with views across the estuary, while long views along the water can also be enjoyed from the sink.
Beyond, the sitting/dining room runs across the front of the house, where large windows and doors to the balcony bring in plenty of light and make the most of the creek outlook.
Two bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation. One of the property’s key strengths is the way it already engages so well with its position above the creek.
The broad frontage and generous existing window openings give it an immediate advantage, particularly for buyers considering future modernisation.
So much of the relationship with the water is already in place, which makes the next steps far easier to imagine.
There is clear scope to update over time, but the house already has a great deal in its favour. Below, the annexe adds an important degree of flexibility.
Currently arranged as an independent space with its own living area, kitchenette, bedroom area and bathroom, it works well for visiting family, guest accommodation or ancillary income potential.
Subject to the necessary consents, it could also be incorporated back into the main house, offering the opportunity to create a larger single home over time should requirements change.
Outside, a broad, relatively level plot, with gardens arranged to either side of the house, offers an unusual advantage in Noss Mayo, where gardens are so often steeply arranged.
Thoughtfully shaped with lawns, paths, planted borders and seating areas, it provides a wonderful sequence of spaces from which to take in the estuary views, with the pretty rowan tree and mature planting adding to the sense of privacy and natural beauty.
It feels both practical and inviting; a manageable outdoor space designed as much for everyday life as for sitting out and enjoying the water and surrounding landscape.
A workshop, wood store, timber shed and rear storage area provide excellent storage for kayaks, paddleboards, bicycles and other outdoor garden equipment.
The garden continues beyond the storage areas, where there is plenty of space and potential for a garden room or studio, subject to any necessary consents, to make the most of the exceptional estuary views.
Off-road parking adds further convenience and, from here, a short flight of steps leads up to the garden.
The property has also benefited from a number of recent improvements, including the installation of an air source heat pump, solar thermal, solar panels, a new cylinder, radiators and loft insulation.
The twin villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo sit on the wooded banks of the River Yealm estuary, one of the South Hams’ most attractive waterside settings.
Much loved for sailing, creekside walks and the easy rhythm of village life, the area combines natural beauty with a strong sense of community.
Between the two villages there is a good range of everyday amenities including a village shop, post office, pharmacy, primary school, churches, welcoming pubs and the yacht club.
The surrounding countryside is particularly beautiful, while Plymouth is within accessible reach for wider shopping, services and commuting. Services Mains water, electricity and drainage.
