LOCATION
Commanding an elevated position overlooking the village of Lynton and with views towards Countisbury Hill, Exmoor and the surrounding wooded valley. The property is well placed in the heart of the village within walking distance of all village amenities, set back in its own manicured lawned gardens. Lynton and its twin resort of Lynmouth is often referred to as the 'Little Switzerland' of England as it is surrounded by deep wooded river valleys. The area is a walkers paradise and is close to the well-known Valley of The Rocks and has good access for walking holidays. The property has many repeat holiday guests year after year. Barnstaple is the regional centre and is located approximately 18 miles inland.

THE PROPERTY
The property is a detached Grade II listed building, believed to have been constructed in around the middle of the nineteenth century with original 12 pane sash windows and a charming staircase. The ground floor has margin pane French doors heading out onto the veranda. This property was most likely built as a private holiday villa for a London Merchant and provides extremely comfortable accommodation over two floors. The ground floor is arranged as the owner's spacious private accommodation, as well as a one bedroom holiday apartment. The first floor has been arranged as three further holiday apartments, all completely self-contained. The property enjoys far-reaching views from the front over Lynton and towards Countisbury Hill and the river valley. The property also has views across the Bristol Channel towards the Welsh Coast and is conveniently located. The property benefits from oil-fired radiator central heating and some rooms have double glazing and the main accommodation benefits from a wood burning stove.
The property is detached overlooking its own gardens of around 2/3 of an acre, which are approached from the tarmac car park, to the lower recess of the garden via a sweeping pathway to stone terraced gardens with shrubs. In addition is the garden shed and area for chickens to roam, providing guests with fresh eggs in the morning. This property should certainly be viewed to be fully appreciated and the views are spectacular.

THE BUSINESS
The business operates throughout the year under the personal supervision of a husband and wife team who acquired the property in September 2007. The business provides a comfortable home and generates a good income of approximately £50,000 per annum. Full details of accounts can be made available to those seriously interested parties who have inspected the premises. The holiday apartments will be fully furnished and equipped.

AGENTS NOTE
In a beautiful corner of North Devon in Exmoor National Park, this delightful home and income has potential as a private home and income as at present. Alternatively the whole is perfect for multi-family occupation as a home for an extended family with elderly relatives subject to obtaining planning permission for change of use. This location is an ideal place to live in a self-contained and well knit community as Lynton has its own pharmacy, GP Health Centre, two general stores, post office and newsagents. This is a great retreat away from city life living in a beautiful corner of Devon and with outstanding scenery close by yet only yards from the centre of Lynton right on your doorstep. Added to that the property commands far reaching views across Lynton towards the Sea and Countisbury Hill making this a very attractive place to live and work from.
