Description

The property also benefits from a timber clad office and a part-built garage/workshop with accommodation over.

Amberwood is a comfortable and spacious four-bedroom home that's been in the same family for twenty years. Perched on the edge of Lympstone, it's surrounded by unspoilt countryside and a lively community.

The house was originally a Victorian brick barn that's been extended over the years. Inside and out, you'll still see plenty of the attractive brickwork as well as exposed wooden beams. As well as the main home, there's a separate timber-clad office in the quarter-acre grounds. If you're looking for even more space, the current owners already have permission for (19/1700/FUL) and have part built a detached garage/workshop with accommodation over.

This is the perfect location to enjoy the beauty of East Devon, with the Jurassic Coast one way and Exeter still on your doorstep. The charming village centre is just down the road, great for a weekend pint and views up and down the Exe estuary.

If staying put is more your thing, the rear of the property enjoys its own lovely rural views. A private patio runs for the width of the house, giving you a 180-degree outlook. Looking east over the red brick wall, you'll see only fields, trees and the sunrise. Sometimes you may find the odd curious sheep stopping to check-in on your morning coffee.

Leaving your car on the gravel drive, three small steps take visitors to the raised front garden. A paved area leads to the front door, and a side door for the fourth bedroom. That room could be perfect for someone who has difficulty with stairs. Or perhaps a teenager with a habit of waking everyone else up when the pubs have closed.

Take a left from the hallway and you're in the large kitchen diner - over 22ft at its widest. You get plenty of light here from two decent-sized windows, and a view over the patio to the fields beyond. The utility space here is great as a boot room, and for hiding away a washing machine and dryer.

Coming back to the hallway, a few steps takes you to the sitting room and its double doors to the garden. If you need to get to the outdoor office space, there's a smart timber-framed veranda here to keep you dry.

Upstairs are the three other bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom. All three bedrooms enjoy the lovely view at the back of the house - fields, trees and those local sheep.

The surrounding countryside is perfect for long walks or bike rides. The Exe Estuary Trail runs through the village and gives locals and visitors a traffic-free way to enjoy the estuary and its wildlife. Historic towns like Budleigh Salterton and Topsham are within easy reach, so are the award-winning shops at Darts Farm. Local beauty spots include the nature reserve at Bystock Pools and the prehistoric hill fort at Woodbury Castle.

For a special treat, it helps to be near-neighbours with the luxury five-star country house hotel, Lympstone Manor. On the other hand, it's hard to beat a trip to Exmouth via the town's award-winning fish and chip shop, Krispie's. There's two miles of sandy beach to walk off all those calories.
