THE PROPERTY
Welcome to this exquisite detached Grade II listed building, believed to have been constructed in the mid-nineteenth century. This property boasts original 12-pane sash windows and a delightful staircase, adding to its historic charm. The ground floor features elegant margin pane French doors that open onto a picturesque veranda. Originally built as a private holiday villa for a London merchant, the ground floor is now arranged as a spacious two-bedroom holiday apartment and a self-contained one-bedroom holiday apartment. The first floor offers three additional self-contained holiday apartments, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy. The front of the property enjoys breath-taking views over Lynton, Countisbury Hill, and the river valley. The property also offers stunning vistas across the Bristol Channel towards the Welsh Coast.

Set within approximately 2/3 of an acre, the property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens. Accessed from the car park, a sweeping pathway leads to stone terraced gardens adorned with shrubs. The garden also includes a shed and an area previously used for chickens to roam. This property benefits from oil-fired radiator central heating and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. The spectacular views and unique charm make this a truly special place.

Within the gardens there is a garden shed and veranda patio along the front of the building. The property backs onto the Lynway with very good access from the centre of the village, just beyond the Crown Hotel, turn left giving access to the car park. It should be noted that a cottage at the bottom has access across the car park and is not included within this sale and at the entrance of the car park is an adjoining cottage which has permission for one parking space within the car park.
