Situation
The twin villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, which lie in the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, straddle the Yealm Estuary and form a yachting haven. There are two churches, a supermarket, post office, three pubs, café, pharmacy, active yacht club and a primary school.

Many spectacular countryside, woodland and clifftop walks abound around the villages, including along the South West Coast Path and the National Trust owned coastline. More comprehensive amenities are available in nearby Yealmpton, Modbury, Ivybridge and Plymouth. Deep water moorings and slipway facilities are located around the Yealm Estuary.

The historic and vibrant city of Plymouth is within easy commuting distance, where there is a large university with a number of world class faculties and both medical and dental schools. The outstanding Theatre Royal has a national reputation. A regular train service to both London and the north is accessible from Plymouth or Totnes, and car ferries connect Plymouth to Roscoff in Brittany and Santander in Northern Spain.

Description
Stepping into Parsonage Farm you are transported back to when manor houses were smaller but just as impressive as the great estate mansions that followed the medieval hall houses. Known for their central great halls, surrounded by other living and service rooms, the great halls would have been the centre of life, where the household slept, ate and entertained.
As a typical medieval hall house Parsonage Farm has been sympathetically renovated, using traditional materials and methods. On entering via the two-centered rear 14th century arch doorway displaying sections of ovolo mouldings, old panelled door and lustrous Purbeck flagstone floors an atmosphere of old stone and rich wood unfolds with the advantages of modern day living that the spacious layout from the 3 reception rooms, well equipped kitchen/breakfast room and 6 upstairs bedrooms offer. The current hall and study/living room have an impressive oak floors.
One late 18th century chimney piece remains and in the rear porch/utility room an ancient trough makes an attractive feature next to the original well. The kitchen breakfast room overlooks the walled front garden, ideal for morning sunshine.
The roof which has the Listing, features a crown-post on an arched braced collar roof truss and curved wind braces, with a jointed cruck truss at right angles, the extensive renovation work can be appreciated via a walkway and lighting in the roof.

The Cottage
Behind the farmhouse there would once have been an overhead walkway to the medieval courtyard house where a previous owner William Bradbridge, Bishop of Exeter in the reign of Elizabeth I, would have slept. The reverse level, two bedroom accommodation has been meticulously converted into a comfortable two bedroom, open plan home with high exposed roof beams and a bespoke kitchen. Original hand cut tracery is still visible in the stone framework of the chamber block mullion window.

Bradbridge Barn
Taking its name from this eminent former owner, Bradbridge Barn is tucked away in the well established grounds.
The airy and light living space of this 2 bedroom, 2 ensuites, single storey, characterful property is enhanced by its outlook onto a pretty, south facing courtyard.

Outside
The well maintained grounds, have a profusion of mature and healthy shrubs, trees and walled lawned gardens, with a charming herb garden, delightful greenhouse and tree lined walkways which join the different sections of the cleverly designed, relaxing and rewilding landscapes that surround Parsonage Farm.
The private driveway leads to generous parking and a turning circle, with stone walls and granite features recalling the age of the farmstead.
