Description

About the property

Tucked away in tranquil woodland, this charming single-storey non traditional timber bungalow enjoys a magical setting above the East Lyn River, surrounded by 2.3 acres of deciduous sessile oak Woodland formerly a charcoal woodland. There may be potential to redevelop the property, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and statutory consents.

The accommodation includes an entrance porch, a cosy living room with mezzanine level and log burner, a dining area with doors opening onto the front terrace, an open-plan kitchen, a double bedroom, and a bathroom.

Outside, there's space to park one or two vehicles, along with an enclosed seating area and a pathway that leads straight into the adjoining woodland-perfect for exploring nature right from your doorstep.

By separate negotiation, two nearby parcels of land (6.46 acres in total) with independent access are available: 3.1 acres with a guide price of £31,000, and 3.6 acres with a guide price of £53,000, which includes a traditional stone linhay-ideal for equestrian or smallholding use."
The area


Brendon Valley sits at the very heart of Exmoor, with walks in every direction through woodland, moorland, farmland and dramatic coastline.

The property is located between Brendon and Rockford which both have popular country pubs offering food.

Lynton is approximately 5 miles away and offers local amenities, including a good selection of restaurants, bars, cafés, gym, hairdressers, 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. Worth the journey.
