SITUATION Bakers Cottages is located on Longmeadow Road in the highly sought-after estuary village of Lympstone. This vibrant and historic village offers a range of local amenities including a well-regarded primary school, post office, village store, pubs, and a train station providing direct links to Exeter. The Exe Estuary Trail, ideal for walking and cycling, runs nearby, while the coastal town of Exmouth is just a short drive away, offering a wider range of shops, leisure facilities, and sandy beaches.
DESCRIPTION This delightful, two bedroom period cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home with scope to improve and add value. Retaining many original features, the property benefits from well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, along with a particularly generous rear garden which is a notable asset for a cottage of this type.
ACCOMMODATION A glazed wooden front door opens into a spacious sitting/dining room, the focal point of which is a large log effect gas fire, creating a cosy atmosphere. The dining area is open to the kitchen, which runs along the side of the property in a galley-style layout. Fitted with a range of matching units and offering space for white goods, the kitchen enjoys dual-aspect windows to both the front and rear, and extends beyond the chimney breast to maximise usable space.
To the rear of the sitting room is a garden room, offering a peaceful second reception space with large windows framing the green outlook of the garden. The garden room would be ideal as a reading room, home office or hobby space. Also on the ground floor are stairs rising to the first floor.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms. Bedroom one is a generous double with built-in storage options, while bedroom two offers flexibility as a single bedroom or study. The family bathroom has been converted into a wet room with a walk-in shower, but could easily be reconfigured to accommodate a bath if desired.
OUTSIDE One of the property's standout features is the extensive rear garden, which is unusually large for a cottage of this size. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs and trees, offering a sense of privacy and tranquillity. Immediately outside the house is a gravelled terrace perfect for outdoor dining and a large timber shed provides useful storage.
