About the property

A detached Edwardian home features primarily stone and painted elevations with double-glazed windows, many of which have recently been fitted with black aluminium frames, under a slate roof that was replaced in 2013 (the same year that the solar panels were installed, a new boiler was added, and another one was added). A recently fitted, high-quality kitchen with appliances, an upgrade to the oil-fired central heating system with feature cast iron radiators to the reception rooms, and underfloor heating in the kitchen and utility room are just a few of the 21st-century conveniences that complement the tastefully decorated, three-storey residence.

The back garden has been separated into sections and connected by a slate walkway.

The property is located within a short walk of The Valley of Rocks and local amenities, including a good selection of restaurants, bars, cafés, shops, gym, hairdressers, 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 35 minutes). The world-renowned surfing beaches at Woolacombe, Putsborough, Saunton (also with Championship golf course) and Croyde are also about 40 minutes by car.

The North Devon link road (A361) is about a 30-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.
