bright sitting room with Juliet balcony enjoying stunning coastal views.
The kitchen is fitted with integrated SMEG appliances and offers
space for dining.

lawns, planted borders, pergolas, and a summerhouse, all enjoying far
reaching views across Lynmouth Bay and the Bristol Channel towards
Wales. The property also includes allocated parking and additional
visitor spaces. No Chain.
For layout and approximate room measurements, please see the
enclosed floor plan.
THE AREA
The property is within easy walking distance of local amenities,
including a good selection of restaurants, bars, cafés, shops, small
supermarkets, a library, a primary school, and places of worship, along
with a regular bus service.
Lynton is twinned with the coastal village of Lynmouth, set on the
banks of the River Lyn overlooking the sea and reached by a cliffside
railway. The South West Coast Path passes directly through Lynton &
Lynmouth and is England's longest waymarked long-distance footpath
and a National Trail. It stretches for 630 miles (1,014 km), running
from Minehead in Somerset, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall,
to Poole Harbour in Dorset. More extensive shopping facilities and
amenities are available at the larger town of Ilfracombe (about half an
hour) and the regional centre of Barnstaple (about 45 minutes). The
world-renowned surfing beaches at Woolacombe, Putsborough,
Saunton (also with Championship golf course) and Croyde are also
about 45 minutes by car.
The North Devon link road (A361) is about a 40-minute drive and
eventually joins the M5 motorway network at Junction 27, where
Tiverton Parkway offers a fast service of trains to London Paddington
in just over 2 hours. The nearest international airports are at Bristol
and Exeter. There are excellent state and private schools within the
area. The Valley of Rocks is within level walking distance (passing the
extraordinary location of the cricket ground), offering access to many
miles of coastal walks and stunning unspoilt countryside, which the
surrounding Exmoor National Park has to offer. A trip to Dunkery
Beacon, Exmoor’s highest point has incredible views and a picnic at
Landacre Bridge or visit to Withypool tea rooms would be well
worth the journey.
