Longmeadow Road, Lympstone

Located a short distance from the centre of the village, this is a charming detached Grade II Listed house, believed to have started life as a farmhouse.

Updated and renovated through the years, the accommodation is very well laid out, presented in lovely condition throughout whilst retaining a good number of period features. The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with parquet flooring, exposed bricks, timbers and stonework. Off the entrance hall, there are three reception rooms; a dining room with wood burner, a cosy snug and a charming sitting room also with a wood burner with a brick surround.

At the rear of the property is a fantastic open-plan cottage-style kitchen, breakfast room and garden room, running the width of the house, with slate flooring and bifold doors to the garden. There is a range cooker, fitted dishwasher and a separate utility room with washing machine and fridge/freezer. Leading from here is the downstairs cloakroom with WC.

On the first floor are 4 bedrooms; the principal and guest room each having en-suite facilities, with the two further bedrooms having use of the family bathroom.

At the rear is a courtyard leading to the outbuilding, which has power and plumbing and could potentially be turned into ancillary accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The plot measures almost a third of an acre, with the rear garden being a particular feature of the property, enjoying much privacy with mature shrubs, vegetable beds, a greenhouse and a well providing fresh water. The current owner has also planted numerous trees to provide additional privacy including two varieties of Eucalyptus, Hornbeams, Silver Birches and Robinia.

Outside to the front is a small area of garden and to the side a driveway provides parking for 3 cars.
