Description

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Castle Heights is a highly regarded development built in 2002 on the
site of the former Royal Castle Hotel, a grand country house.

accommodation comprises a hallway, two bedrooms, bathroom, and a
bright sitting room with Juliet balcony enjoying stunning coastal views.
The kitchen is fitted with integrated SMEG appliances and offers
space for dining.

Residents benefit from beautifully maintained communal gardens with
lawns, planted borders, pergolas, and a summerhouse, all enjoying far
reaching views across Lynmouth Bay and the Bristol Channel towards
Wales. The property also includes allocated parking and additional
visitor spaces. No Chain.

For layout and approximate room measurements, please see the
enclosed floor plan.

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.

SERVICES & OUTGOINGS

The property is served by mains water, drainage and electricity.
Electric central heating, double glazed windows.
According to Ofcom, ultrafast broadband is available at the
property, and there is the likelihood of coverage from several
mobile phone networks. For more information, please see the

About Exmoor Property, South Molton

106 East Street, South Molton, EX36 3DB

Welcome to Exmoor Property - Sales & Lettings

Lynton, Lynmouth and West Exmoor’s Award-Winning Independent Estate Agency.

​​We sell more residential and commercial property in our area of West Exmoor than any other agent. With the latest comprehensive marketing, viewings accompanied by experienced staff, we deliver a complete service, from instruction through to the completion of your sale, that is second to none.

We also love helping buyers who want to relocate to this very special area of Devon. With your brief, we’ll help you find the right home or business, in the right location for you. We understand that today's buyers become part of our future community.

We have two offices in North Devon linking Lynton to our South Molton office, Michael Adey Property. The businesses synchronise seamlessly to provide maximum marketing exposure with service and care on a personal level. We are one of the few independent firms left in the area.

Talk to us. You’ll see our passion and knowledge for Lynton, Lynmouth and the villages and hamlets of West Exmoor straight away, from the glorious coves and harbours to the rivers and wooded combes of Brendon, Malmsmead and Oare in the Doone Valley.

Exmoor Property was set up in Lynton by Greg Lang in 2004, after his own relocation from London to West Exmoor. Greg quickly realised that a better residential and commercial sales service was needed for both sellers and buyers in Exmoor National Park. In 2025 Exmoor Property was sold to Michael Adey Property, another independent award winning Estate Agency based in South Molton. With a likeminded approach, Michael saw the opportunity to expand the business providing greater exposure to all clients. During this transition, Lee Trevellick joined the firm, managing the Lynton office. Lee is a local North Devon family man, with over 20 years’ estate agency experience.

Between our team of 6 we have more than 80 years' combined experience in the industry. To find out more, please take a look around our website, and if you would like to join us then please contact us or why not request a free, no obligation valuation of your property.
