Lympstone

DESCIPTION Truly exceptional four-bedroom detached bungalow, significantly extended, improved and thoughtfully redesigned by the current owners to create an outstanding example of contemporary single-storey living.

Occupying an unusually generous plot in the highly sought-after village of Lympstone, the property combines striking architectural design with beautifully considered interiors, generous proportions and an exceptional connection between the living spaces and gardens. At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed for both relaxed family life and entertaining. This impressive room features French doors opening onto the front garden and a large picture window overlooking the rear gardens, creating a wonderfully light and sociable space. A particular highlight is the impressive vaulted-ceiling extension in the main sitting room. With Velux roof windows, doors opening directly onto the rear garden and a wood-burning stove, this is a beautiful and versatile reception space. The extension is clad in Shou Sugi Ban, the traditional Japanese technique of charring timber, creating a distinctive and highly contemporary exterior finish.

The accommodation provides four generous double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities. The impressive principal bedroom suite incorporates a walk-in wardrobe, beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom and two sets of French doors opening onto a private patio and separate side garden, creating a peaceful and secluded retreat. The remaining accommodation includes three further double bedrooms, a family shower room and a useful utility room. A particularly attractive rear reception hall features a dramatic floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the garden and is currently arranged as a peaceful library and reading area. Throughout, the house has been designed with an emphasis on natural light, clean contemporary lines and a seamless relationship between the interior and exterior spaces. The result is a highly individual home which is both stylish and exceptionally practical.

Outside, the generous plot provides beautifully landscaped contemporary gardens, a selection of private seating and entertaining areas, a brick-built covered seating area, substantial brick-built workshop, garage and two log stores. There is also extensive off-road parking for several vehicles - a particularly rare and valuable feature in Lympstone.

The property occupies an exceptionally generous plot, with beautifully designed gardens providing a wonderful combination of contemporary landscaping, established planting and attractive outdoor living spaces. The front garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to complement the property's contemporary architecture, while the rear gardens are beautifully planted and carefully arranged to create a private and tranquil setting. Well-stocked borders, established planting and considered landscaping provide a succession of attractive spaces to enjoy throughout the year. The gardens are particularly well suited to entertaining, with the principal living areas and vaulted-ceiling sitting room opening directly onto the outside space. A charming brick-built covered seating area provides an excellent sheltered spot from which to enjoy the gardens, while the principal bedroom enjoys its own private patio and separate side garden.

Further outside amenities include a substantial brick-built workshop, garage and two log stores. The extensive driveway benefits from an electric charging point and provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles, an unusually valuable feature within this sought-after village.
