Overstrand, a smart and extremely stylish, spacious detached property, is beautifully furnished in a contemporary, very comfortable style, fabulously enhanced by the stunning views from every room. The house is set in an elevated position a few yards from the water's edge (dinghy provided) and overlooking the lake-like estuary of the River Yealm full of craft and yachts, surely one of the loveliest scenes in Devon. Enclosed and sheltered by high oak wooded hillsides, the estuary, a sailing mecca, is bordered by the twin villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, with a river ferry and causeway between the two that can be crossed at low tide. All this is a few minutes walk from the house, including shops and waterside restaurant inns. Exceptional walks can be enjoyed in the wooded hills and on to the superb South Devon coastal path, with several rocky and sandy coves nearby, ideal for picnics and bathing. This is a wonderful and extraordinary place to escape to at any time of the year.
