Imperial Court, Lynton

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

A well-presented one-bedroom ground floor apartment, recently modernised to a high standard and featuring a contemporary kitchen and wet room, set within the impressive Victorian building of Imperial Court.

The building, believed to date back to its origins as a hotel, was converted into 15 apartments around 1990 and retains attractive stone elevations beneath a slate roof. Communal areas are well maintained and benefit from a secure entry system, passenger lift and stair access.

The accommodation comprises a communal entrance lobby and reception, with the apartment conveniently positioned on the ground floor. Inside, there is an entrance lobby with fitted matting, storage shelving and space for coats, leading through to an inner hallway with newly fitted carpets and a ceramic 'smart' electric radiator.

The spacious double bedroom features newly fitted carpets and mirrored sliding wardrobes with ample shelving and hanging space. The dual-aspect living/dining room is light and airy, also benefitting from new carpets and a smart electric radiator.

The wet room has been upgraded with a Mira Advance Flex electric shower, wall-mounted Dimplex heater and a Geberit AquaClean Mira Care wash-and-dry WC.

The kitchen has been replaced within the last two years and is well designed to maximise space, offering a range of wall and base units including a tall larder cupboard, corner units and spice rack, along with wood-effect worktops. There is space for a washing machine and tall fridge/freezer, with an electric Sharp double oven and hob (available if required. ) fitted extractor fan. An inset stainless steel sink and drainer is served by an electric water heater providing direct hot water.

The property is presented in excellent order throughout, having been recently modernised, and viewing is highly recommended.

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.
