COMPLETED PROJECT
Newton Ferrers
LUXURY RIVERSIDE &
WOODLAND HOMES
The Yealm is one of our most significant boutique developments to date. Set along the southern coast and overlooking the serene natural harbour of twin villages Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo in Devon, a delightful and popular yachting destination, this was a truly unique opportunity for us.
THE MAIN HOUSE
The former River Yealm Hotel was opened in 1898. Originally a branch railway line was planned to bring guests right to the front door – but the line was never built. Instead a steamer transported people to the hotel jetty. Ever since, those who sail into the Yealm Estuary have become familiar with this local landmark.
The building has been sensitively converted into six two-bedroom apartments. They are designed for grandeur, making the most of high floor-to-ceiling heights and wonderful views. The ground-floor apartments have their own terraces and private gardens; the first-floor apartments have their own terraces; and the top, second-floor apartments have private balconies. Lifts serve the entire building and separate storage areas are provided at the lower-ground floor.
14 LUXURY APARTMENTS
The Yealm Development consists of 14 luxury apartments, comprising the restored former hotel, two woodland area buildings and one beautiful contemporary house. See the entire development by clicking below.
ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT
‘As a property developer, I’m often asked about my motivation and how I choose the projects undertaken by Red Earth. The simple answer is that I only buy a site if I can honestly say, “I would love to live here”. This intention, which I always try to follow, is particularly true of the idyllic villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, tucked away here in the South Hams.
Standing on the site back in 2016, with the possibility of buying the former River Yealm Hotel and looking out over the estuary, I saw a wonderful opportunity to breathe new life into a delightful old building and in doing so, create homes with some of the most enviable views in the South West.’
