A Victorian mid-terrace fisherman’s cottage on The Strand, Lympstone, offers genuine coastal character and estuary views from a compact, traditional layout. The house provides three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a useful loft space that could be converted to increase living area — appealing to buyers wanting character with scope to personalise.
Practical positives include double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and very low local crime. The property sits directly opposite the sailing club and working harbour, placing cafés, footpaths and the village station within easy walking distance for a convenient coastal lifestyle.
Buyers should note this is a period solid-brick property built before 1900 and likely requires selective upgrading: walls are assumed uninsulated, the EPC is D, and the house is described as a potential fixer-upper. Flooding risk is medium due to the riverside location; prospective purchasers should obtain specific flood and insurance advice.
Layout and plot are compact — the plot is very small with no front garden. This cottage suits someone seeking a character coastal home with renovation potential, downsizers wanting village life, or buyers prepared to invest in energy and flood resilience improvements to maximise the property’s riverside appeal.
