Castle Hill, Lynton

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

A first-floor apartment offering two double bedrooms and spectacular coastal views from its private balcony, situated within the impressive Victorian building of Imperial Court.

Originally believed to have been constructed as a hotel, Imperial Court was converted into 15 apartments around 1990 and retains its attractive stone elevations beneath a slate roof. The well-maintained communal areas benefit from a secure entry system, passenger lift and staircase.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance lobby and hallway, a spacious living room opening onto a private balcony with commanding views across Exmoor and the Bristol Channel, a modern fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a contemporary shower room.

This delightful apartment combines period character with modern comfort and enjoys an enviable coastal setting, making it an ideal permanent residence, second home or lock-up-and-leave retreat.

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.
