Description
Located in the heart of the village is this charming cottage, well-presented throughout with delightful period features. The entrance hall provides access to two reception rooms, to the front is a spacious sitting room with an open fire and feature curved bay window, and to the rear a dining room with wood burner. From here, steps lead up to a galley style kitchen. Well-equipped and fitted with a range of wall & base units, granite worktops, Belfast sink, gas hob and electric oven. Adjoining this a useful wash cloakroom which also benefits from space for a washing machine.
On the first floor, to the front is a spacious double bedroom with a feature period fireplace, a curved bay sash window and a useful hand wash basin. In addition, there is an impressive and bathroom with a roll top bath, separate shower cubicle and built in storage. Stairs rise to the second floor which enjoys two further double bedrooms, both with exposed floorboards and one with distant views of the Exe estuary and beyond.
Outside, to the rear of the house is a small area of courtyard that is owned by the property, large enough for a bistro table and chairs, or storage for a bike.
Situation
Located on the edge of the sought-after estuary village of Lympstone, in the conservation area, offering ease of access to both the seaside town of Exmouth and the Cathedral City of Exeter.
Lympstone boasts a fascinating past, and an exciting present and future. It grew from an ancient settlement on the eastern shores of the Exe Estuary, building its reputation on maritime trade and agriculture and it still retains its links with the past, with local firm Inghams Fisheries selling their catch in the riverside Fish Shed and organising special fish-based events. The village has a well-established local Primary school, with St Peter’s independent school on its outskirts. There is a well-regarded doctor’s surgery, two churches, two pubs, one cafe, a hairdressers and a village shop with extended opening hours. A Michelin star restaurant and boutique hotel is a near neighbour.
Lympstone supports a wide selection of clubs and societies: sailing and tennis clubs, an active gardening club, film society and other societies bringing live music and drama to the village and fostering home-grown talent. The half-hourly Avocet line train service, with its beautiful views across the River Exe, links the village with Exeter’s two main stations: Exeter St David’s with its fast train service to London Paddington and Exeter Central with its service to Waterloo. Exeter Central station is at the heart of Exeter’s lively shopping centre.
The M5 at Junction 30 is just 8 miles away. The Exe Estuary Trail; 26 miles of cycleway along both sides of the Rive Exe, is a much-enjoyed addition to Lympstone’s many attractions.
Directions
From Topsham, leave the town on Elm Grove Road, pass Darts Farm and at the roundabout turn right onto the A376.

At the bottom of the hill, turn right, continue under the train bridge and the house is on the right hand side, just after The Swan.
