Description
Ross loves: "I love the timeless character of Orchard House, from its elegant Georgian/Victorian architecture to its charming period features. The versatile layout makes it perfect as a seaside family retreat or a thriving guest house. Its prime location in Lynmouth is unbeatable—just moments from the harbour and beach, with Exmoor’s hills and moorland on the doorstep. Whether it’s a stroll along the South West Coast Path, an adventure in Valley of Rocks, or simply soaking in the coastal views, this home offers an exceptional lifestyle by the sea."
The owners love: "Jason and I moved from the Cotswolds to lovely Lynmouth 11 years ago, making a complete lifestyle change. It was a very scary move, but the best we have ever made. We have had 11 wonderful years at Orchard House, both from a business and home perspective. We are now looking to retire and step back, allowing someone else to enjoy Orchard House—whether as a fantastic business or a beautiful home to host wonderful Christmases, New Years, family visits, holidays, surfing, walking, and relaxing with a book in the garden on warm summer days. A lifestyle change is what we wanted, and Orchard House has delivered it all."
Set over three floors (plus cellars), this spacious home features six beautifully appointed bedrooms, five of which boast private en-suite facilities—ideal for guest accommodation or multi-generational living. The interiors are brimming with historic charm, from exposed beams and elegant casement windows to high ceilings and period detailing. The inviting living areas include a comfortable lounge, perfect for relaxing by the fire, and a bright dining room, offering a warm and welcoming space to entertain. The beautifully refitted kitchen provides ample storage and worktop space, together with a private dining area, ensuring a seamless blend of modern convenience and traditional character.
Stepping outside, Orchard House enjoys terraced gardens and a spacious patio, ideal for soaking in the coastal air and enjoying al fresco dining with spectacular sea views. The layout of the garden offers peaceful hideaways as well as entertaining spaces, making it a wonderful extension of the home. The detached nature of the property ensures privacy while still being at the heart of the village.
Lynmouth is a highly sought-after coastal village, renowned for its quaint harbour, dramatic cliffs, and stunning seascapes. Part of the Exmoor National Park, it offers unrivalled opportunities for coastal and countryside adventures, from exploring the Valley of Rocks and Watersmeet to enjoying a ride on the historic Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway. The village itself boasts independent shops, cosy cafés, traditional pubs, and excellent seafood restaurants, all within walking distance. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, an active lifestyle, or a thriving business venture, Orchard House delivers a rare opportunity to embrace coastal living in one of North Devon’s most picturesque locations.
