Set in a peaceful countryside enclave between Woodbury and Lympstone, Coombe Cottage is a substantial period family home offering nearly 2,859 sq ft of flexible living. The house combines character features—triple-aspect drawing room with wood-burning stove and high principal-suite windows—with generously proportioned rooms arranged for everyday family life and entertaining.
The south‑west facing, level gardens are a standout: mainly lawned, private and bordered by mature trees, with paved terraces, a raised seating area and outdoor brick fireplace. An extensive range of outbuildings and garaging (circa 816 sq ft) plus a two-box former stable at the garden end create useful storage, workshop or annexe/conversion potential.
Practical details are straightforward: freehold tenure, double glazing installed post-2002, oil-fired boiler and radiators, and very low local crime in an affluent rural setting. Note the property is a cob-built pre-1900 home, so ongoing maintenance and sympathetic repair will be necessary; council tax is described as expensive. Overall, this is a roomy, characterful home for a growing family seeking privacy, outdoor space and adaptable outbuildings close to village amenities and rail links.
