Countless walks to 3 great pubs within 1 to 2 miles.

The house is awaiting renovation, but is in a fabulous spot with stunning views and amazing peace, quiet and birdlife. It has; a cosy log burner in the lounge; a small kitchen and dining room and small conservatory and gardens on three levels. Garage for small car and 1/2 parking places.

3 large private gardens with stunning far reaching rural views towards the sea at Lynmouth and Exmoor. A high sunny terrace with a beautiful views across the woodlands and East Lyn Valley to enjoy whilst you eat your breakfast or BBQ.

Please note: Our house is a reasonably tidy family home, and though clean, it is not immaculate and is awaiting renovation. We will of course give it a big tidy and spring clean before the swap. There is a very large paddling pool and a large number of varied o games for use, plus direct access to a Bridleway and maze of footpaths to rivers, cliffs, moors or beaches intrepid or little explorers!

A nature lovers paradise where you can watch sheep, swallows and martins, and numerous tits and finches and woodpeckers on the birdfeeders (if you keep them loaded long enough!). Owls, bats and hawks, kestrels and kites and we can promise you this is the closest you will ever come to a near collision with a swallow whilst you enjoy your G&T!
