Description

SEAWOOD HOUSE

Occupying one of the most commanding positions on the North Devon coastline, Seawood House is an exceptional Grade II listed Georgian villa enjoying panoramic views across Lynmouth Bay, The Foreland and the Welsh coastline beyond. Perched above the historic twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, adjacent to the famous Cliff Railway and the South West Coast Path, this remarkable residence combines historic grandeur, modern comfort and unrivalled coastal scenery.

Dating back to the early nineteenth century, Seawood House is believed to be one of the first properties constructed along North Walk. Rich in local history and architectural character, the property has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully enhanced over the years, preserving its elegant period features while incorporating contemporary refinements, including upgraded heating and electrical systems and a stunning high-specification kitchen.

Approached via a private gravel driveway, the property enjoys a secluded setting with ample parking and a magnificent wraparound terrace that captures some of the finest coastal views in the region. From sunrise breakfasts overlooking the bay to evening entertaining against a backdrop of sea and sky, the outdoor spaces provide an extraordinary setting throughout the year.

The accommodation extends to approximately 5,500 sq ft and offers exceptional flexibility. A grand entrance hall welcomes you into a series of elegant reception rooms, each benefiting from impressive proportions, high ceilings, period fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling doors opening onto the terrace. Designed for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living, these spaces are perfectly positioned to make the most of the spectacular outlook.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed contemporary kitchen, combining style and functionality with direct access to the principal living spaces. A secondary kitchen provides additional practicality and supports the property's flexible layout.

Arranged across the upper floors are eight generous bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom and many enjoying breathtaking sea views. Several rooms offer scope for alternative configurations, including dressing rooms or private sitting areas, while the principal suites provide a luxurious retreat from which to enjoy the ever-changing coastal landscape.

The lower ground floor incorporates a self-contained three-bedroom apartment with its own private entrance, kitchen, living space and bathroom facilities. Ideal for extended family, guests, staff accommodation or supplementary income potential, the apartment adds another dimension to this highly versatile property.

Beyond the terraces, the grounds extend to approximately 0.75 acres, with pathways leading through the hillside gardens and offering further opportunities for enhancement, subject to any necessary permissions. The elevated position ensures complete immersion in the surrounding natural beauty, with Exmoor National Park, the Valley of Rocks and miles of dramatic coastline all on the doorstep.

Whether as an impressive private residence, a multigenerational family home, a hospitality venture or a combination of uses, Seawood House represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of North Devon's most recognisable and admired coastal properties.
A landmark home of exceptional character, history and presence, set against one of the most spectacular coastal backdrops in the South West.

About Pilkington Estates, Stoke

Harscombe House 1Darklake View, Plymouth, PL6 7TL

Buying and selling property is both an art and a science. In the 21st century, the world of estate agency has blossomed in the digital environment, leaving many traditional firms left standing, eyeing the technology with confusion and suspicion rather than embracing it. The team at Pilkington Estates are digital natives, embracing everything the modern world has to offer to help present your home in the best possible light, and using technology to get the right message to the right buyer at the right time.

This contemporary, no nonsense approach is balanced by a sensitivity and empathy towards their customers, both buyers and sellers, that allows us to offer a truly one to one bespoke service.

We understand that every customer is different, and each client has different needs and requirements, so will customise any modern method of selling to suit individual requirements.

Whether you are an old hand with multiple sales under your belt, or whether you are selling a much loved family home for the first time, Pilkington Estates are careful to hand hold you through the process as much or as little as you need.

We can help keep your house hunting enthusiasm burning with intelligent recommendations or can take the strain of the entire relocation process by doing all the running around that you are too busy to do.

We sit comfortably in this fast-paced world, understanding your need for urgency. We bring an energy and confidence to the whole buying and selling process that will get the job done without the drama.

This is not an agency that likes to sit around waiting for the phone to ring!
