The property is available to purchase fully furnished and with no onward chain. The property provides a very spacious, versatile and comfortable family home with excellent facilities including off road parking for 2/3 vehicles, which is a real asset in Combe Martin, and good sized terraced gardens amounting to 0.13 acres in total. There is also a CCTV system installed that covers all of the external areas of the property.

Located on the outstanding North Devon coast, Combe Martin is one of Britain’s largest villages and offers a plethora of healthy family enjoyment, with its own sandy beach and breath-taking scenic walks. Exmoor National Park is just minutes from your door, with some of the most uninterrupted scenery in the county and wonderful hidden, cove-style beaches. Just 20 minutes away are the famous Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton beaches, offering some of the UK’s best sands within easy distance of your new home. There is a village Primary School, small independent shops, a Health Centre and a variety of Public Houses serving food. The neighbouring larger town of Ilfracombe has further, more extensive facilities and is just 6 miles away and Barnstaple, which is North Devon's main trading centre, has many of the big name shops, a rail link to Exeter which has direct services to the major London terminals and direct access onto the A361 North Devon Link Road which joins the M5 at junction 27.

The character and charm is immediately evident upon entering the property, via the entrance porch, into the spacious 22ft long living room. The feature exposed stone fireplace provides a focal point to the room and has a wood burner set on a slate hearth. There is further exposed stone work within the room which adds to the characterful feel and the period of the cottage. The stairs lead up to the first floor. The hub of the home is the delightful kitchen and dining area. The characterful feel continues, blended with modern fitted base and wall units within the kitchen area, complimented by integrated appliances which include an oven, gas hob and extractor canopy, a dishwasher and a fridge and freezer. A door from the kitchen leads out onto the rear garden. An attractive flagstone tiled floor runs through into the dining area which in turn leads through to a very handy utility room and ground floor cloakroom/wc. Within the utility there are further fitted units, a sink and plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The wall mounted gas fired boiler provides the central heating and hot water.

Moving to the first floor, the skylight on the landing allows plenty of the day's sunlight to pour in. Attractive cottage style doors open into the four bedrooms and the family bathroom and there is a useful store/linen cupboard. Bedroom 1 is a particularly spacious 21ft long room which enjoys pleasant and open views, especially from the Juliet style balcony which provides a unique feature to the room. There are a couple of built-in store cupboards and a well-appointed en suite shower room with modern fittings. Across the landing there are three further bedrooms, 2 double rooms and a smaller single room, all continuing the charming and characterful feel that the cottage enjoys throughout. The family bathroom is also furnished with modern sanitary ware.

Outside, at the front of the cottage there is a large off-road parking area, to the left of the property, which provides space for 2/3 vehicles. Parking is at a premium in Combe Martin so this is a real asset for the home. To the right hand side of the cottage there is a small patio area with an attractive stone retaining wall behind and a gate leading through to the rear garden.

Steps lead up from the parking are to the front door where there is a well-stocked and colourful adjacent flowerbed. A second set of steps lead from the parking area to the side of the cottage where there is a paved patio area and a gate that leads onto the main part of the rear garden. The rear garden is well-screened and provides a pleasant sitting space/outdoor entertaining area and is terraced on two levels and being laid as patio thus providing low maintenance. Steps lead up onto a covered decked sitting area which is an ideal area for an al-fresco meal or a barbeque and has space for a 6-seater dining table and chairs. There is an enclosed roof with a pergola and a Wysteria climber. Further on, there is a fenced and enclosed lawned area of garden with flowerbed borders. A paved walkway leads along the rear of the cottage and around to a small courtyard area on the opposite side.

Above the decked pergola area, there is a stone-built store shed and a gate that opens onto a further, larger area of terraced and enclosed gardens with a former (unused) pond. This area of garden is in a mainly natural state and has plenty of scope and potential for further landscaping to suit. This area of the garden enjoys an elevated position and plenty of the day's sunshine and views over the village towards the countryside and wooden hillsides.

Lynton Cottage is a delightful, characterful and versatile home and a full and early internal inspection is a much to fully appreciate the size and quality on offer.
