Lee Road, Lynton, Devon

A unique opportunity to acquire one of North Devon's most established mixed use properties, offering over 125 years of continuous trading together with exceptional lifestyle and investment potential.

Occupying a prominent position in the heart of Lynton, this substantial Victorian freehold comprises an impressive art gallery arranged over three floors, together with two self contained apartments and further development potential, subject to the necessary consents.

The gallery extends to approximately 1,615 sq ft and enjoys around 40 ft of prominent double fronted display frontage onto one of the village's busiest thoroughfares, providing outstanding visibility and passing trade.

The lower ground floor offers exciting scope to create a further self contained apartment, subject to the necessary consents, presenting an opportunity to enhance the property's already impressive income potential.

Above the gallery are two well presented self contained apartments, each with independent access via a generous south facing terrace overlooking the village.

The apartments are ideally suited to the thriving holiday letting market, providing an excellent opportunity to generate substantial additional income alongside the commercial premises. Alternatively, they could provide owner's accommodation whilst continuing to produce rental income, creating multiple revenue streams from a single freehold investment.

The sale includes the freehold property together with furniture within the apartments.

Lynton is a small town on the Exmoor coast standing on top of the cliffs above the picturesque harbour village of Lynmouth. Lynton and Lynmouth are connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Lynton was once the terminus for the narrow-gauge Lynton & Barnstaple Railway which served both towns. Two villages on the coast, one above the other, Lynton and Lynmouth were known by the Victorians as Little Switzerland. Lynton is an attractive village with a museum and good range of restaurants, cafes, tea shops and 'art/craft' shops. The town hall hosts dramas and exhibitions and positioned next door to an Art and Craft centre and the village cinema. There are many hotels and guest houses in Lynton and Lynmouth. Down in Lynmouth, the two rivers, The East and West Lyn, join. The East Lyn runs to Watersmeet and the West Lyn runs South through Barbrook. Watersmeet boasts a National Trust tea room and the walk from Lynmouth to Watersmeet is very popular. The Valley of the Rocks, a short walk from Lynton, is another area worth visiting with breathtaking scenery and flocks of wild goats.
