ABOUT THE PROPERTY

A rare opportunity to own a cottage with approximately 1 acre of garden and woodland overlooking the East Lyn River in Exmoor National Park. Offering scope to update and personalise, this property is sold with no onward chain. Virtual tour included.

Beautiful views of the river and the adjacent farmland may be seen from this double-fronted cottage in a wooded area. The property features a slate roof and colour-washed rendered elevations. The accommodation is over two storeys and includes a dining room, kitchen, sitting room with fireplace, and boot room. Two bedrooms, including the main bedroom with an en suite and an additional bathroom, are located on the first floor.

The majority of the surrounding area is woods, with the gardens located to the north, east, and west of the cottage. Direct access to the riverbank and footpath.

A footbridge that belongs to the property and a walkway with a legal right of way over the nearby field in front of the house provide access to the property.

A parking area for two or three cars is located next to the road, and it offers access to the walkway that goes to the property's footbridge.

THE AREA

The property is located in an idyllic position, elevated above the East Lyn River, adjoining National Trust Land, and with a south-facing aspect overlooking the river, farmland and towards Tipacott Wood.

The nearby picturesque village of Brendon and hamlet of Rockford are within a healthy walk and 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.
