Characterful three-bed cottage steps from the train station and village amenities.
End-of-terrace period stone cottage in central Lympstone
A charming end-of-terrace stone cottage tucked into the heart of Lympstone village, this three-bedroom home suits buyers seeking coastal village life within easy reach of the train station. The ground floor opens into a stylish open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with solid wood floors, built-in storage and large windows that flood the space with light. The flexible ground-floor room works well as a bedroom or home office.
Upstairs offers a generous master bedroom with exposed floorboards and built-in storage, a well-appointed family bathroom with mosaic tiling, and a cosy top-floor bedroom beneath original beams and dual-aspect windows. Modern comforts include mains gas central heating, double glazing (post-2002) and a compact, thoughtfully fitted kitchen with modern appliances.
Practical points are clear: the property is small (approx. 797 sq ft), has only one bathroom and sits in a medium flood-risk area. The stone external walls are traditional granite/whinstone and are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for potential insulating works. Parking is off-street in a nearby car park (believed to be about £120pa; prospective buyers should verify).
There is scope to improve and personalise: the owners hold architect concept drawings to convert a study into a courtyard with side access — a useful plan for anyone wanting outdoor entertaining space or easier equipment storage. For those wanting village life, coastal walks and community amenities within a compact, characterful home, this cottage is a practical and attractive proposition.
