A superb former coastguard cottage directly on the South West Coast Path, Headlands has been renovated to a beautiful contemporary standard, with calming contemporary interiors invoking a feeling of peace and serenity the moment you arrive. With breathtaking sea and estuary views from the living room, its location is unbeatable. A fairly steep and narrow path leads down to a shingle cove, Cellars Beach, 500 metres away which is ideal for swimming. Set high above the River Yealm estuary just over a mile outside of Noss Mayo and accessed via a long, partly unmade track, the property enjoys an uninterrupted panorama across to the village of Newton Ferrers on one side, and the coast extending beyond from the other, even as far as to South East Cornwall on the horizon on a clear day. A full width balcony opening out from the first floor lounge provides the perfect spot from which to take in these magnificent views, and wait until you see the sunsets!
Set within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Headlands is surrounded by National Trust countryside and woodland. If you are looking to escape the madding crowd and embrace fresh air, sea views, wonderful walks and uninterrupted peace and tranquility then Headlands is the perfect place for you.

The local area
Noss Mayo is a pretty riverside village nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the south coast of Devon, between Salcombe and Plymouth. The village faces neighbouring Newton Ferrers across a beautiful tidal creek in the River Yealm estuary, and is bordered by picturesque woodlands. Noss Mayo enjoys stunning views over the estuary, and offers a peaceful spot from which to watch varied bird and water life as well as activities on the river. The sheltered harbour, with its colourful sailing dinghies, is well protected from storms in the Channel and makes ideal sailing waters for novices and experienced sailors alike. Wander past charming waterside cottages, to the Swan Inn for a refreshing beer or to The Ship Inn for fine food. At low tide, cross the causeway to Newton Ferrers for a few shops, a café, and the Dolphin Inn with its ample beer garden looking over the creek. High tide offers the excuse to take the ferry (or paddle or sail!) to secure your fresh croissants from the local Post Office and store.
Walkers will enjoy the half hour stroll or more from Noss Mayo through idyllic woodland to Cellars Beach, located on the South West Coast Path, and from there, up to Gara Point. There are several unspoilt beaches within a short drive, which include family-friendly Wembury, dog-friendly Wonwell, and beautiful beach Mothecombe which is a hidden gem and offers excellent bathing at low tide.
Plymouth is conveniently situated, just 10 miles away, and is well worth visiting for a day trip or two. Highlights include the Hoe, with its iconic lighthouse and spectacular views across the world-famous natural harbour, the National Marine Aquarium, and the vibrant Barbican area with its theatre and a fantastic selection of waterside restaurants, pubs, and bars.
A holiday cottage in Noss Mayo offers a very peaceful base from which to explore stunning coastline, pretty villages and the historic city of Plymouth.
