NEW HOMEOWNERS
Peacefully situated in the West Lyn Valley and surrounded by the natural splendour of Exmoor, this spacious country retreat is one of only two cottages close to the owners own home. Located just half a mile from the pretty Hamlet of Barbrook with garage stores and 2 miles to the renowned coastal village of Lynton. Hawthorn cottage has been carefully converted from an original barn. The cottage has been furnished and equipped to a high standard and provides a very comfortable holiday base. Entering through large glazed doors you are welcomed by a spacious open plan living area with high vaulted ceiling. Comfy leather seating provides ample space for lounging after an active day and a large kitchen and dining area has all you will need should you decide to dine in. A staircase leads up to a mezzanine floor which offers a double bedroom which is open to the high vaulted ceiling and with a balustrade overlooking the living room below. A shower room is also on this level. A further two attractive bedrooms can be found on the lower ground floor, one with an ensuite and the other served by a family bathroom. Hawthorne cottage has its own patio, a fully enclosed garden, with gas barbecue and private off road parking for at least two cars. Located on a quiet country lane that leads directly onto open moorland and with easy access to dramatic coastal and riverside walks, this is a haven for walkers and nature lovers. The famous twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are connected by the unique water powered cliff railway and offer a wonderful selection of individual shops, cafes, restaurants and the picturesque harbour and rock and shingle beach at Lynmouth have stunning views of high cliffs that tumble down to the sea. Plenty of activities are available locally including riding, fishing, tennis courts, bowls and even star gazing as Exmoor is a designated ‘Dark Sky’ area! For those who wish to venture further afield there are many local attractions including The Doone Valley, Porlock Weir, Watersmeet and the beautiful sandy surfing beaches of the Golden Coast around Woolacombe and Croyde are within 40 minutes’ drive.
