Castle Heights in Lynton, North Devon, is a well regarded residential development built in 2002 on the site of the former Royal Castle Hotel, which was originally a grand country house.

The layout briefly includes an entrance foyer with storage cupboards, an open-plan sitting and dining area with a kitchen off to the side, and French doors leading to a terrace. There are two double bedrooms, one with a dressing area and an ensuite shower room, as well as a separate bathroom.

One of the two pergolas and lawned garden spaces with plants are located in front of the apartment. There are visitor parking spaces close by, and number 5's parking is across from the apartment's entrance. There are other lawns and gravelled areas in Castle Heights' common grounds, some of which have views of the sea. There is a charming summerhouse with expansive views of Lynmouth Bay and a second pergola. In addition to a community bin area with designated recycling boxes, there is plenty of parking for both owners and guests.

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.

The property is served by mains water, drainage and electricity. Double glazed windows.
