luxury houses with terrace for sale Plymouth, United Kingdom

Set in a remarkable position on the banks of the River Tamar, Tamar Bank is an exceptional waterside residence offering direct access to the shoreline below, outstanding river views and a rare connection with one of Cornwall’s most historic waterfront settings. Believed to date back to the mid-19th century, the property occupies a commanding position along Old Ferry Road and enjoys approximately 20 metres of water frontage. It is a home of genuine character, scale and atmosphere, with its outlook, history and setting combining to create a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. From the changing tides and passing boats to the far-reaching views across the Tamar, River Tavy and towards the Tamar Bridge and Royal Albert Bridge, Tamar Bank is a property where the waterside position is not simply a backdrop, but a defining part of everyday life. The House The accommodation is generous, elegant and highly versatile, arranged to suit family life, entertaining, home working and multi-generational living. A grand entrance hall creates an immediate sense of arrival and leads through to a series of well-proportioned reception spaces. The main sitting room provides a comfortable and welcoming space, complete with a wood burner, while the formal dining room is ideal for family gatherings and more formal entertaining. One of the standout rooms is the triple-aspect sunroom, which takes full advantage of the position and frames wonderful views across the water towards the River Tavy, the Tamar Bridge and Brunel’s Royal Albert Bridge. The kitchen is a tremendous space, well appointed and designed as a practical yet sociable heart of the home, with a fitted utility room positioned nearby. Also on the ground floor is a further bedroom or study, offering excellent flexibility for those working from home, accommodating guests or seeking a more adaptable layout. A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation, with internal access also leading through to the double garage. On the first floor, four well-proportioned double bedrooms continue the sense of space. The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, featuring a dressing area and en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Throughout the home, the river views provide a constant reminder of the property’s exceptional setting. The lower ground floor offers three versatile basement rooms, providing useful additional space and scope for a variety of future uses, subject to any necessary consents. This area could appeal to buyers seeking storage, hobby space, a workshop, home office potential or further lifestyle accommodation. History Tamar Bank is a home with a fascinating history, believed by the current owners to date from around 1841. Its position on Old Ferry Road places it within one of Saltash’s most atmospheric riverside settings, overlooking a landscape shaped by river travel, maritime activity and the historic crossing between Cornwall and Devon. One of the early owners is understood to have been Captain Charles Bampfield Yule, a notable Royal Navy officer and surveyor associated with Admiralty expeditions around Australia, New Guinea and the wider Pacific. His work is understood to be linked with Heron Island in Queensland, while Yule Island in Papua New Guinea is also believed to have been named after him. The property is also understood to have connections with the du Maurier family, adding a further literary association to a house already rich in character. The current owners also understand that Tamar Bank was used during both the First and Second World Wars, including wartime military occupation and associations with senior military figures. Together, these connections give Tamar Bank a rare sense of provenance, combining maritime history, literary interest, wartime association and a truly memorable waterside setting. Outside & Gardens Outside, the gardens extend to approximately 0.22 acres and lead down towards the water’s edge, where a private gateway provides direct access to the shoreline below. This direct connection to the river is one of the property’s most special features and offers a rare waterside lifestyle in the heart of Saltash. The gardens have been arranged to make the most of the outlook, with a mixture of raised terraces, lawned areas and decked seating spaces. These areas provide excellent opportunities for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining, all while enjoying the movement, light and atmosphere of the river. Whether launching a kayak from the shore, enjoying evening drinks overlooking the water, watching the tides change or simply taking in the beauty of the Tamar, Tamar Bank offers a lifestyle that feels both peaceful and wonderfully connected to its surroundings. Location Old Ferry Road is one of Saltash’s most atmospheric riverside settings, following the water past Brunel Green and a collection of character cottages. The area has a strong maritime heritage and remains closely connected to the river, with nearby slipways, boat storage and waterside walks all adding to the appeal. Despite its beautiful waterside position, Tamar Bank remains highly convenient for day-to-day amenities. Saltash offers a good range of local shops, a Waitrose supermarket, schools, cafés and services, while the nearby China Fleet Country Club provides golf and leisure facilities. For sailing and watersports enthusiasts, Saltash has a busy sailing club, visitor pontoon, public slipways and access to nearby mooring opportunities. Plymouth city centre, the A38 and Saltash railway station are also within easy reach, making this a rare waterside home that combines beauty, history, practicality and convenience in equal measure. Agent’s Comment Tamar Bank is a truly memorable waterside home. The moment you arrive, there is a real sense that this is a property with a story, from its position on Old Ferry Road and its outlook across the Tamar, to its direct access down to the shoreline below. For me, the magic of the house is the way it combines practicality with atmosphere. It is a generous and versatile family home, but it also has that rare emotional pull that only certain waterside properties seem to have. The views, the garden, the changing tides and the sense of history all add to the feeling that this is somewhere very special. Homes with this level of character, water frontage and historic interest are rarely available, and Tamar Bank is a property that I think buyers will remember long after viewing.

Kerslake Mill is a truly special country residence, offering a rare combination of character, space, privacy and flexibility. Set within a peaceful hamlet location, surrounded by open countryside and National Trust land, the property enjoys a remarkable sense of seclusion while remaining within easy reach of Portwrinkle, Whitsand Bay, the Rame Peninsula, St Germans railway station and the city of Plymouth. Originally converted with great sympathy to its historic purpose, the main mill house has been further enhanced during the current vendors’ ownership, with a number of significant improvements carried out over the last decade. The result is a home that retains the charm, proportions and individuality of a former mill, while now offering a more contemporary and refined standard of living. The Main Mill House The main residence provides generous and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, with a layout that works beautifully for family living, entertaining and working from home. One of the most impressive enhancements is the addition of a striking mezzanine living space within the main reception area, creating a wonderful sense of volume and architectural interest. This has transformed the heart of the home, adding a dramatic yet comfortable living area that makes full use of the property’s character and scale. The sitting room is another beautiful space, centred around a wood-burning stove and enjoying views across the gardens and mill pond. Doors open out to a balcony, creating a lovely connection between the house and its setting, with the water, gardens and surrounding landscape forming a wonderfully tranquil backdrop. The kitchen has also been updated to provide a more modern and practical space, well suited to everyday family life and informal entertaining. The proportions of the room allow for dining and gathering, while the character features, including exposed beams and the building’s original form, ensure the space remains warm, inviting and full of personality. The main bedroom has been thoughtfully remodelled by the current owners, now benefiting from a larger en suite, creating a more luxurious principal suite. Further bedrooms are arranged across the upper and lower levels, offering excellent space for family, guests or blended living arrangements. The accommodation is highly flexible, with a study or fifth bedroom offering the perfect space for a home office, snug, library or occasional guest room. This versatility will particularly appeal to those seeking a lifestyle move without compromising the ability to work comfortably from home. A large utility room provides excellent additional storage and practical workspace, while the integral double garage includes a dedicated workshop area positioned to the rear of one of the bays. Cider Press Cottage One of the most significant changes to Kerslake Mill is the complete renovation and reconfiguration of the former one-bedroom cottage. This has now been transformed into a beautifully presented three-bedroom cottage, offering superb additional accommodation within the grounds. The cottage provides a wonderful open-plan living space with a log burner, giving it a warm and contemporary feel while still remaining in keeping with the rural setting. A small balcony adds further charm and provides a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the surroundings. This separate cottage creates enormous flexibility. It would be ideal for multi-generational living, allowing extended family to live independently yet close by. Equally, it offers clear income potential, either as a holiday let or longer-term rental, subject to any necessary consents and the buyer’s own requirements. For those seeking a lifestyle property with a business or investment angle, the cottage is a major asset and broadens the appeal of the home considerably. Gardens, Grounds and Parking The property is approached via a private driveway, secured by electric gates and complemented by a security camera and entry-phone system. The driveway continues through the grounds before opening into a generous parking and turning area. There is garaging for two vehicles with electric garage doors, together with additional off-road parking for approximately five or six further cars, making the property particularly practical for family life, visiting guests, cottage accommodation or holiday-let use. The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.4 acres and provide a beautiful natural setting for the mill. The mill pond remains a key focal point, visible from the main house and helping to create the peaceful, almost storybook quality of the property. The vendors have carried out considerable work to enhance the home and its setting, and while some driveway and garden elements may still offer scope for a buyer to complete or personalise further, the overall feel is one of a deeply attractive and established country residence. The property also benefits from a superb collection of practical outbuildings, including a substantial workshop, a charming summer house, two greenhouses and a recently installed garden shed. A further metal storage shed provides useful space for lawnmowers, gardening equipment and outdoor tools. Lifestyle and Location Kerslake Mill offers the type of lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find: private, characterful and surrounded by nature, yet not isolated. The setting is quiet and tucked away, with landscaped gardens, countryside views and the calming presence of the mill pond, while the South Cornish coast is only a few miles away. Portwrinkle, Whitsand Bay and the South West Coast Path are all within easy reach, offering beaches, cliff walks, coastal scenery and a relaxed Cornish lifestyle. The nearby village of Crafthole provides local amenities, while St Germans railway station offers useful rail connections, including access towards Plymouth and beyond. For those needing access to the city, Plymouth is within commuting distance, offering a wider range of shopping, schooling, professional services, waterfront restaurants and transport links. Agents Comment Kerslake Mill is far more than a period home in a beautiful setting. It is a rare lifestyle opportunity: a substantial and improved former mill house, a separate three-bedroom cottage, beautiful grounds, garaging, parking, income potential and a peaceful position close to the Cornish coast. It will appeal to buyers seeking multi-generational living, those wanting a high-quality home with holiday let potential, or anyone looking for a private country residence with genuine character and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.
