The Retreat is not listed and is a wonderful home situated right in the heart of the highly desirable village of Lympstone. There is excellent accommodation and outbuildings and the house exudes huge amounts of charm and character. The main home has excellent reception space and retains many of its original features making it ideal for entertaining. There is a spacious sitting room with a wood burner and a separate study with direct access to a conservatory making working from home a real possibility. In addition there is an attractive dining room and kitchen both of which have direct access to the rear garden. On the first floor there is excellent bedroom accommodation including an impressive principal suite overlooking the grounds. There is an adjoining garage which also has potential to be extended and incorporated into the main home. To the rear of the house there is also a detached workshop which could also be used as a greenhouse. Outside there is a substantial three bed lodge which has attractive views over the church yard. This was rented out until 2021 and could provide an excellent income for the incoming buyer. In addition there is also a triple garage and substantial off street parking. The gardens are full of mature trees and shrubs and further add to the sense of peace at The Retreat and these include rolling lawns and a pond.
