2 bedroom cottage

APPROACH Beach Cottage is not the easiest to find, so walking along Sowden Lane with the estuary to your right, pass by the Globe Inn and just beyond look for a small alley on your right hand side that passes between Strand House and Myrtle Cottage. Follow the alley around to your right and Beach Cottage is just ahead. A small gate open into the front garden and leads to the front door with a storm porch over the top. 

OPEN LOUNGE KITCHEN The front stable door opens into the beautiful character open planned lounge and kitchen and immediately you see the character and charm of this cottage. White wooden panelling runs down the side of the lounge opposite which is an inset wood burning stove with a black stone hearth and wooden mantle, and built into the chimney side are two low cupboards. A large wooden beam separates out the two rooms with the kitchen worktop forming a peninsular island out into the room. The kitchen forms a 'U' shape with white shaker style wall units accompanied with blue base units. A solid wood worktop is intricately cut in around the old wooden upright and has inset ceramic hob and worktop hot rods. A cupboard is located under the stairs and two doors lead off to the first floor and the bathroom to the rear. 

BATHROOM The stunning rear bathroom has been fitted with both a walk-in shower cubicle and a roll top bath. The white suite is accompanied with W.C and basin set upon a chrome wash stand with a white heated towel radiator to the side. The whole room has been beautifully tiled with green metro tiles set against a herringbone wood effect flooring. 

BEDROOM ONE First off the landing is bedroom one, a generous double room with a pair of window that look out over the narrow alley below and have commanding views out across the estuary beyond. 

BEDROOM TWO Bedroom two is another generous double room with a long window, built-in corner wardrobe and book shelf set over the bed. A drop down loft ladder gives access to the room above. 

LOFT ROOM Approached via a loft ladder from bedroom one below, the loft room has been utilised to its full advantage. Storage has been created in the eaves and in around the chimney breasts, and a desk has been built-in under the sky light window. The views out from the sky light windows are delightful as they glimpse the roof tops of the neighbouring houses and extend all the way out over the estuary.  

GARDENS Out from the bathroom is a small courtyard which acts as a light well for the down stairs rooms but it is the front garden that really epitomises these fisherman cottages. The garden sits between the house and a low wall with a delightful wisteria trailing above, providing space for table and chairs from which to watch the ebb and flow of the tide. 

PARKING When viewing the property you can use the Lympstone Village Pay & Display Car Park on Underhill just beyond the railway bridge.
