The Strand, Lympstone

Superb period residence which has been meticulously renovated and extended to over 3,800 sq ft (including garage and gym), offering a rare blend of timeless character and contemporary luxury. Designed by award-winning architects and finished to an exceptional standard throughout, the property is set in the centre of this highly sought-after estuary village, just a short stroll from the water and train station. Whilst the property enjoys a prime position in the heart of the village, it remains wonderfully private and is not overlooked - a rare combination for such a central location.
