Description

The Lyneham Inn is conveniently situated on the outskirts of Plympton, just off the A38 Devon Expressway making it an easy destination location. Plympton is an historic stannary town and a popular place to live, now known as a suburb of the city of Plymouth with the population almost doubling since the 1990's. The main shopping district of Plympton is the Ridgeway, with an abundance of amenities and services including a Post Office, Co-op, pharmacies, fashion shops, bakeries and a florist. There are major supermarkets located in Plympton as well as good schools and many parks and recreational areas. The vibrant city of Plymouth is only 8 miles to the east of Plympton, voted the best city to live in 2024 and full of historic landmarks and the scenic waterfronts of the Hoe and Barbican.   Plympton is well connected to the rest of Devon via the A38, which runs between Plymouth and Exeter and onto the M5 network to the east of Exeter. A substantial Grade II Listed stone built property, with elegant proportions under a pitch slate roof. The property has been well maintained over the years and is presented beautifully both inside and out. A stunning beer garden is situated to the front with a sunny aspect, permanent gazebo and children's play area.  There is a substantial car park making this an accessible venue to visit and a paddock beyond. The property benefits from a service yard and outbuildings to the rear.
