Description
A charming and character-filled Grade II listed cottage, this unique three-bedroom home is nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Lympstone. Believed to date back to 1748, the property has not been on the market for over 30 years, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special piece of history.
The beautifully established front garden is south-facing and wonderfully generous, featuring a mature willow tree, apple tree, plum tree, walnut tree, pond, and an array of stunning trees and plants, including lilac, laburnum, and wisteria. To the rear, a west-facing garden provides a peaceful seating area with a feature palm tree, ideal for enjoying sunny afternoons.
Inside, the cottage exudes warmth and charm. There are two reception rooms, including a cosy living room with a wood-burning stove, and a second sitting room for added flexibility. The stylish farmhouse-style kitchen is complemented by a spacious conservatory that provides additional living space and picturesque views of the gardens. A family bathroom is also conveniently located on the ground floor.
Upstairs, the accommodation includes two comfortable double bedrooms and a single bedroom, perfect for families or guests.
Situated within easy reach of Topsham, Exeter, and the coast, the cottage is also just a short stroll from a nearby bus stop. While the property does not come with designated parking, the current owner has successfully parked for over 30 years on a nearby hardstanding close to the layby and bus stop, although this is not included in the title.
