Based in the picturesque village of Lympstone, Devon, this charming first-floor apartment offers a cozy retreat for two, perfectly positioned near the Exe Estuary. Lympstone is known for its scenic beauty, being a delightful fishing and sailing village on the eastern banks of the estuary. The property is conveniently situated along the Exe Estuary Cycle Trail, which connects the sandy beaches of Exmouth to the historic village of Topsham. Guests will find a local pub directly across the street, with additional pubs and a village shop just a short walk away. The historic city of Exeter, famous for its cathedral and vibrant cultural scene, is easily accessible by car or train, providing a wide array of shopping and sightseeing opportunities.
The apartment's unique layout features a shared entrance leading to a self-contained living space that exudes character and charm. Upon entering, guests are welcomed into a spacious lounge/diner adorned with two large windows that frame breathtaking panoramic views of the estuary. This inviting space is perfect for relaxation, with a comfortable sofa, a rocking chair, a Smart TV, and a rare 17th-century sgraffito fireplace. The clean-burn wood burner adds warmth, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring the nearby cliffs, cycling trails, or beaches. For birdwatchers, a telescope is available for use, allowing guests to observe the local wildlife from the comfort of their living area.
As guests venture toward the rear of the apartment, they will discover a quirky yet well-equipped kitchenette and a cozy bedroom area. The kitchenette is compact but fully appointed with modern amenities, including a four-ring induction hob, a combination microwave/oven, a fridge with an ice compartment, and a dishwasher. The bedroom features a super comfortable king-size bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The apartment also includes a bright bathroom equipped with a shower over the bath and a WC, all with lovely views of the estuary, enhancing the overall experience of the stay.
Outside, a likeable pebbled patio area provides space for loading and unloading, although it accommodates only a small car. Free parking is available just 200 meters away in a quiet village car park, where the owners offer a complimentary visitors permit. Guests can also enjoy the serene atmosphere by sitting at the water's edge in a nearby picnic area, located only 50 meters along the foreshore.
