Description

Welcome to SEAWOOD HOUSE.
A rare opportunity to own a very special local landmark, full of character and history, with the most spectacular sea views.

8 Bedroom house + 3 Bedroom self-contained apartment

A fine coastal residence that for many years has combined a welcoming guest business with private owners’ living space. The property offers flexibility for continued hospitality or, subject to any necessary consents, adaptation for alternative uses. Planning records confirming the exact lawful use is not held on file and interested parties should rely on their own enquiries with the Local Authority & Exmoor National Park Authority.

" With the advent of Middle, High-Class Visitors coming to the area William Sanford recognised an opportunity and in 1826 he paid a further £980 to John Lock to acquire the Freehold on his site and other surrounding woodland measuring 12 acres with a view to building properties on it. The first house to be built in North Walk was ‘Seawood House’, which was completed by 1835 and built by a well-known local builder’s family named Jones who also built the Valley of The Rocks Hotel, Lynton. "

Perched on the edge of the idyllic Exmoor National Park, in the picturesque coastal town of Lynton, North Devon, stands this magnificent Grade II listed Georgian villa.

Enjoying an elevated position with sweeping sea views across Lynmouth Bay towards The Foreland and the Welsh coastline, Seawood House is a grand and prestigious family residence set in one of the area’s most desirable locations—adjacent to the historic cliffside railway.

Recently refurbished by the current owners, the property combines timeless period elegance with modern luxury. The sympathetic renovation includes upgraded heating and electrical systems, along with the addition of a stunning high-specification contemporary kitchen.

The main house offers flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, featuring eight bedrooms—all with en-suite bathrooms—and an abundance of original architectural features.

A self-contained apartment on the lower ground floor provides an additional three bedrooms, ideal for guests, extended family, or staff. The ground floor comprises a generous entrance hall, a formal dining room, a beautifully refurbished kitchen, and an elegant sitting room, along with a secondary ‘staff’ kitchen. From the staff kitchen, a staircase provides internal access to the lower-ground apartment, which also enjoys its own independent entrance at the front of the property.

The first and second floors are home to eight luxurious bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities, many of which benefit from exceptional sea views. Several rooms offer the flexibility to be reconfigured to include spacious walk-in dressing rooms if desired.

Approached via North Walk, the property enjoys a private gravel driveway with parking for up to eight vehicles. The wraparound front terrace provides a superb setting for alfresco dining or evening drinks while taking in the panoramic sea views—an idyllic spot to enjoy the sunrise over breakfast.

Seawood House occupies an enviable position on North Walk, part of the renowned South West Coast Path. It is just a short stroll from Lynton’s charming town centre, the dramatic Valley of the Rocks, and the picturesque harbour village of Lynmouth. A private footpath behind the property also offers a direct and scenic route into town, passing the start of the iconic cliffside railway.

Seawood House seamlessly blends grandeur, comfort, and coastal charm—a truly exceptional home in an outstanding location.
