About Membland

Membland is a historic estate located in the parish of Newton and Noss, Devon, approximately 8 miles southeast of Plymouth. Originally purchased by Edward Baring, 1st Baron Revelstoke in 1877, the estate included the now-demolished Membland Hall, which fell into disrepair after World War I. While the main mansion was taken down in 1927, several of its service buildings, such as the Bull and Bear gatekeeper's lodge and stables, still stand today, alongside a smaller dwelling constructed between 1966 and 1968. This rich history may influence planning applications and developments in the area.

In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (May 2026). This makes Membland a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
