Description
Situated in the heart of Lower Lympstone, Little Underhill is a splendid Grade II Listed property forming part of Underhill House, believed to have been constructed in the 18th century as the residence of a prominent Lympstone shipwright. The house was tastefully divided into two dwellings in 1998 and now offers a unique blend of rich heritage and contemporary living.
Situated a stones throw from the estuary arranged over four floors, the property enjoys beautiful views over the rooftops across the River Exe and offers an impressive balance of period character and modern refinement. The accommodation is generously proportioned and thoughtfully planned, with elegant interiors that reflect both the history of the home and the needs of modern life.
At the heart of the property is a spacious open-plan sitting and dining room, featuring a striking period fireplace, curved bay window with fitted window seat, and high ceilings that enhance the sense of space and light. This leads to a beautifully appointed kitchen that continues the blend of traditional style and modern convenience.
The kitchen is fitted with a bespoke range of Martha Mockford painted wooden wall, drawer, and base units, paired with sleek granite work surfaces and a classic tiled splashback. A traditional Butler sink is complemented by integrated appliances, including a dishwasher and fridge/freezer. A five-ring Rangemaster gas hob with dual oven and grill. Grey ceramic distressed-effect floorboards with underfloor heating add warmth and character, while inset spotlights and three double-glazed windows ensure the space is light and welcoming. A double-glazed door opens directly to the garden, creating an ideal flow for indoor-outdoor living.
The bedrooms are arranged over three floors, offering flexibility for family living, guests, or home working. The loft room benefits from views over the rooftops towards the River Exe. This room could be used as an occasional bedroom, or art studio and is a peaceful retreat within the home.
Outside, the property features a charming, south-facing courtyard garden, perfect for relaxing. To the front, there is a paved area providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles- a rare and valuable feature in the village centre.
Little Underhill represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful character home in a sought-after village, combining historical significance, modern comfort, and a picturesque setting.
Lympstone is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere and vibrant local life, featuring a variety of amenities including traditional pubs, inviting restaurants, village shop and Sailing Club. Ideal for commuters and explorers alike, the village benefits from a well connected train line, with services running every 30 minutes to both Exmouth and Exeter, making travel seamless and stress free.
Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to local conveniences or a friendly village lifestyle with excellent transport links, this property in Lympstone delivers it all.
