Summary - PHEASANT COTTAGE, PLYMOUTH, MEMBLAND, NEWTON FERRERS PL8 1HP
3 bed 2 bath Mews
Spacious character cottage with huge garden, garage and coastal walks nearby.
Grade II listed 18th‑century mews with strong period features
Pheasant Cottage is an exceptionally large, characterful three-bedroom Grade II listed mews property set in historic Membland, a peaceful hamlet a short walk from Newton Ferrers and the estuary. The house retains many period features—high ceilings, deep window sills, exposed stonework and a stone fireplace with wood burner—offering immediate charm and comfortable living space, including a garden room and drawing room.
The generous, mature enclosed garden is a standout asset: level lawns, fruit trees, planted borders, built-in BBQ, a workshop, lean-to woodstore, and a long drive leading to a detached double garage with ample off-road parking. The setting provides easy access to National Trust coastal walks and local beaches, appealing to families or buyers seeking a rural lifestyle with strong local character.
Practical considerations are straightforward and must be weighed: the house requires some modernisation, heating is by night storage and room heaters (no central heating), and the granite walls are likely uninsulated. Its Grade II listing (built c.1700) will restrict alterations and can complicate works and approvals. There is no chain, FTTP broadband is available, and local crime risk is very low.
This home suits buyers who value historic character, large gardens and rural tranquillity and who are prepared for sympathetic updating within listed-building constraints. A thorough survey is recommended to confirm structural, electrical and insulation needs before purchase.
