Location:
Lynmouth, Devon
Description:
A substantial attached Edwardian residence commanding breathtaking sea views in quiet no through road close village centre/seafront. 5 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms, 2 Receptions. Ideal home/income
SITUATION AND AMENITIES
The twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are where Exmoor meets the sea, and are affectionately known as 'England's Little Switzerland'. This part of North Devon, on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, is now very accessible and the North Devon Link Road A361 joins the M5 Motorway Network at Tiverton (Junction 27). There are intercity trains to Barnstaple via Exeter or Tiverton, and also an airport at Exeter. Both Lynton and Lynmouth have a good range of amenities including local shops, restaurants, cafs, museum, town hall and primary school, not to mention the beach and seafront itself. Barnstaple is approximately 19 miles away, and as the regional centre, houses the area's main shopping, business and commercial venues. North Devon's famous coastline offers an excellent range of safe and sandy beaches, and provides numerous water sport opportunities and walking country in abundance. Croyde, Ilfracombe, Saunton and Woolacombe are all within 30/40 minutes by car, and Exmoor is on the doorstep. There are footpaths leading from the property, both to the centre of Lynton and Lynmouth. Bay View House enjoys what can arguably be described as one of the best panoramic views in Lynmouth, overlooking the sea and harbour, and River Lyn, across to South Wales on a clear day.
DESCRIPTION
Bay View House comprises an attached character residence, understood to date from the Edwardian era, and presenting elevations of stone beneath a tiled roof. The accommodation is arranged over 3 storeys, and is currently run as a bed and breakfast establishment, but could just as easily be a private principal residence, or a second home. There are many original features still in evidence including original staircase, fireplaces and quarry tiled flooring in the entrance halls. At the same time, contemporary modern refinements have been added to sympathetically combine with the original features, and the current owners have also installed a relatively new oil fired central heating system, and had the property re-wired. The layout of the accommodation with approximate dimensions is more clearly shown on the accompanying floorplan, but comprises;
