This Grade II listed, three-bedroom end-terrace cottage sits in the heart of Lympstone, a sought-after East Devon village with shops, pubs and the railway within easy walking distance. The house retains many period features — curved bay windows, exposed floorboards and original fireplaces — while offering modern comforts such as gas central heating from a combi boiler and double glazing to much of the property. Offered with no onward chain, it’s ready to move into.
Ground-floor living is generous for a village cottage: a bay-fronted sitting room with an open fire, a separate dining room with a woodburner and a long galley kitchen that opens to a small courtyard ideal for a table and chairs. The family bathroom is a modern four-piece suite and the master bedroom (first floor) includes a decorative fireplace; two further bedrooms occupy the second floor, one with estuary views.
This home suits buyers who value character and village life — families, couples or downsizers who want proximity to village amenities and excellent local transport links. Practical points to note: the property’s Grade II listing means any alterations will be subject to listed-building constraints and may complicate changes. The plot is modest, with limited outdoor space and a small courtyard only.
A few technical matters to consider: the walls are original cavity construction with no added insulation (assumed), there is a medium flood risk for the area, and the council tax is above average. These factors, together with the listed status, are important for budgeting future maintenance and any renovation plans.
