A TARDIS - REALLY MUST BE VIEWED

Situation And Amenities - Situated in the quiet old town area of Lynton within a short stroll of the local amenities including the shops, restaurants and the South West Coast Path that leads to the Valley of Rocks along the dramatic coastline or to the harbour at Lynmouth, all within the beautiful and timeless Exmoor National Park. North Devon's famous surfing beaches, the regional centre of Barnstaple, the Link Road and Minehead, are all within about 30/45 minutes by car. In a further 30 minutes there is access to Junction 27 of the M5 motorway and where nearby Tiverton Parkway offers a fast service of trains to London (Paddington in about 2 hours).

Description - This handsome Georgian town house, circa 1828, presents painted stone elevations beneath a slate roof. The property is Grade II listed as being of architectural and historical interest and offers characterful accommodation with many original features. The versatile accommodation is arranged over four storeys, which includes 6 upper floor en-suite bedrooms, a lower ground floor suite of rooms, generous reception areas and a secluded walled garden. The property has most recently been run on a home and income basis providing bed and breakfast accommodation. There is potential to continue or expand on this business, alternatively there is a recent change of use consent for the property to be a private family residence which may also suit dual occupation. This is certainly a property that needs to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.
