This substantial family residence, with a large, detached annexe, occupies a rural position on a quiet lane on the fringes of the highly desirable estuary village of Lympstone.

The large family home, named Coombe Dairy, and separate two-bedroom cottage sit within grounds measuring more than three acres that also accommodate outbuildings and stables that are suitable for equestrian use. The main property was converted from farm buildings many years ago to create a spacious four to five-bedroom house.

Inside, on the ground floor, the main reception room has a vaulted ceiling, exposed wood flooring, a wood burner and stairs that lead to a mezzanine level that could be used for storage or hobbies. The dining room is a light-filled space with wooden flooring and French doors, while the country-style kitchen has fitted wooden units and an Aga. Also on this level is a lovely garden room, a family room that could be used as an occasional bedroom, and a downstairs bedroom with an ensuite shower room.

On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, three with ensuite bathrooms. There is also a newly constructed home office with a vaulted ceiling, that could be used as a further bedroom if desired.

The property comes with a superbly-presented and detached annexe that is ideal for housing the extended family. Inside, on the ground floor, there is a bright and light kitchen with cream-coloured units, wooden worktops and an Aga, a large sitting room with a wood burner, a garden room and a shower room. On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a spacious main bathroom.

Outside, grounds measuring just over three acres surround the property and include an attractive lawn area, an abundance of mature shrubs and trees, a vegetable patch, a play area, a wildlife pond and an orchard. There is a field suitable for equestrian use with a stable, tack room and outbuildings. Part of the field has vegetable beds and solar panels have been installed.

At the front of the house, the driveway provides ample parking space for several vehicles and a large, decked area for catching the last of the sun thanks to its westerly orientation.
