Description
Located in the heart of the village, Hillside is an attractive period house, believed to have been built towards the end of the 19th Century. From the road, one can see the house has clearly been improved and updated in recent years, but an internal viewing is essential to witness the amazing transformation that has taken place. A former Bed and Breakfast, the property was purchased in recent years as a renovation project with a local firm of architects employed to redesign.
The original three-storey Victorian house has been renovated to provide a snug / sitting room and formal dining room on the ground floor, taking full advantage of the period styling whilst including modern interior details such as a secret door to the double garage. The first floor forms the master suite with an en-suite, walk-through dressing room and study. The second floor includes two bedrooms, a bathroom and a loft room.
To the rear is a splendid newly-built two-storey extension attached via a glazed link, which provides a generous open-plan kitchen, dining, living space and associated utility rooms. The first floor of the extension includes a snug cinema room equipped with bar area, which could be adapted to make further bedrooms, having concealed plumbing for an en-suite.
The property has been equipped with the latest in smart home systems throughout and is wired for a home cinema and multi-room audio systems, as well as being finished to a high level of attention to detail throughout.
The south-facing landscaped garden delivers defined spaces for the modern family dynamic and is accessed through full-height glazed sliding doors, allowing the open-plan living space to extend outdoors. A generous lawn area creates open space for the children to play, with a trampoline built into the ground, concealed from view. A hot tub and swimming pool have been added, and decked seating area with patio heater and outside fire.
To the side, the double garage has front and rear electric doors. Above the garage there is a gym with fitted storage space.
A truly rare opportunity to purchase this unique property, which has the added benefit of being sold with no onward chain.
Situation
Located on the edge of the sought-after estuary village of Lympstone which offers ease of access to both the seaside town of Exmouth and the Cathedral City of Exeter. Lympstone boasts a fascinating past and an exciting present and future. It grew from an ancient settlement on the eastern shores of the Exe estuary, building its reputation on maritime trade and agriculture and it still retains its links with the past, with local firm Inghams Fisheries selling their catch in the riverside Fish Shed and organising special fish-based events. The village has a well-established local Primary school in the middle of the village, with St Peter’s independent school on its outskirts. There is a well-regarded doctor’s surgery, two churches, four pubs, one cafe, a hairdressers and a village shop with extended opening hours. A Michelin star restaurant and boutique hotel is a near neighbour. Lympstone supports a wide selection of clubs and societies: Sailing and tennis clubs, an active gardening club, film society and other societies bringing live music and drama to the village and fostering home-grown talent. The half-hourly Avocet line train service, with its beautiful views across the River Exe, links the village with Exeter’s two main stations: Exeter St David’s with its fast train service to London Paddington and Exeter Central with its service to Waterloo. Exeter Central station is at the heart of Exeter’s lively shopping centre. The M5 at Junction 30 is just 8 miles away. The Exe Estuary Trail; 26 miles of cycleway along both sides of the Rive Exe, is a much-enjoyed addition to Lympstone’s many attractions.
Directions
From Exeter and Topsham, head towards Exmouth along the A376, passing through the villages of Ebford and Exton. Continue past Lympstone Commando and take the next turning on the right into Nutwell Lane. Follow the road into the village, drop down Burgmann's Hill and the property is in front, just beyond the junction.
