Introduction

Situated in the grounds of a larger country house surrounded by farmland, the Coach House is a light, well planned and sensitive conversion of the original Edwardian coach house. From its elevated position above the village of Lympstone (approx. 1 mile), it enjoys good views of the Exe estuary. The location is good for walking and cycling and for sailing on the Exe estuary - parking for a boat and trailer is available. Visitors to the Coach House can also enjoy the use of the owners' 30ft long, heated, indoor swimming pool (shared with the owners) and outside, the adjacent, raised, paved garden area with barbecue.

The Coach House is a mile from a wild expanse of common heathland offering walking, horseriding and off road cycling. It is within easy driving distance of East Devon's Heritage coastline with beaches at Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth or, on the other side of the estuary, Dawlish, Teignmouth and Coryton Cove. There are pedestrian ferries, cruises and fishing/birdwatching trips on the River Exe, which is hugged by many miles of cycle/walkway, an R.S.P.B. sanctuary at Topsham, botanical gardens at Bicton Park and an award winning children's adventure park at Crealy Park. 8 miles away is the city of Exeter with its magnificent cathedral, pedestrianised shopping centre and river walks. The edge of the Dartmoor National Park is half an hour's drive away.

Lympstone itself is a delightful village with a small harbour, well-stocked shop, post ofice and four pubs; it is a past winner of Britain in Bloom.
