Charming Stone Cottage with Coastal Views - Circa 1860s

Nestled in the heart of Lynton, with breathtaking views across the village towards Countisbury Hill and the dramatic North Devon coastline, this beautiful three-storey stone cottage effortlessly blends period character with modern comfort.

Believed to date back to the 1860s/70s, the property has been lovingly updated and is ready to move straight into.

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 35 minutes). The world-renowned surfing beaches at Woolacombe, Putsborough, Saunton (also with Championship golf course) and Croyde are also about 40 minutes by car.

The North Devon link road (A361) is about a 30-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.
