Directions

From Topsham and Exeter head towards Exmouth on the A376. Continue through Ebford and Exton and on passing Lympstone Commando take the next turning on the right, signed Lower Lympstone. Follow this road into the centre of the village and at the T junction at the bottom of Burgmanns Hill turn right. Pass under the rail bridge, past the Globe Inn (left hand side) and turn right into Quay Lane. The path splits slightly - take the right path and Cygnet Cottage is on the left hand side. Parking is available in the centre of the village.

Situation

Lympstone grew from an ancient settlement on the eastern shores of the Exe estuary. The village built its reputation on maritime trade and agriculture and about 100 fishing vessels operated from the area towards the end of the 19th century, when Lympstone was particularly celebrated for its whitebait and the quality of its oysters. The village has four public houses, a well established primary school, village stores and a train service operating between Exeter and Exmouth. There is also a lively sailing club and a wide selection of clubs and societies. The village has its own website - and the village is on the newly opened Exmouth - Topsham cycle path.

Description

Located in the centre of Lympstone with amenities close by and near to the estuary, along a quiet cobbled lane, Cygnet Cottage is a delightful two bedroom period cottage. Formerly used as a fisherman's cottage, the property has views of Lympstone Harbour and has estuary glimpses from the first floor. There is a sitting room, kitchen / dining room, bathroom and in addition to the two bedrooms, is a loft room which is currently used as a 3rd bedroom. Although there is no official garden, we understand the cottage owns part of the path to the front where it is possible to sit and enjoy some views of the river. An idyllic cottage that can be used as a cosy home or for investors looking for a cottage to rent. No onward chain.
