Set on almost a third of an acre in the heart of Lympstone, Rogues Roost is a substantial Grade II listed Georgian house offering over 2,000 sq ft of family accommodation. The house blends retained period character — high ceilings, exposed timbers, parquet flooring and large sash-style windows — with a wide, cottage-style kitchen and garden room that opens onto a private, well-planted walled garden. The layout suits family life with three reception rooms, four bedrooms and three bathrooms including two en-suites.
The rear garden is a standout feature: mature planting, vegetable beds, greenhouse, a working well and newly planted trees provide seclusion and scope for outside living. Practical additions include a separate utility, ample off-street parking for three cars and an outbuilding with power and plumbing that could become ancillary accommodation, subject to planning and listed-building consent. The house is freehold and benefits from good local amenities, a primary school, pubs, a sailing club and a regular train link to Exeter and Exmouth.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate redevelopment or extensions. There is a recorded high flood risk for the area — buyers should obtain specialist flood and insurance advice. Council tax is described as quite expensive. While the house has been updated through the years and is presented in lovely condition, any conversion of the outbuilding or major works will require listed-building consents.
This home will suit families seeking a distinctive village residence with generous indoor space and a private, mature garden. It also offers potential for sensitive ancillary conversion for guests or multi-generational use, provided the necessary consents are obtained.
