A period property overlooking the East Lyn Valley and Ladycombe Lake with sea views across the Bristol Channel to the Welsh Mountains has come onto the market
Lower East Lyn farm is an outstanding Grade II listed Devon property part of which dates back to the 12th century. The house has been sympathetically and tastefully restored and modernised into a well-appointed family home in a glorious peaceful location. Period features remaining include exposed beams, flagstone floors and panelling.
The accommodation comprises hall, sitting room, living room, dining room, lounge, office, kitchen/breakfast room, four bedroom suites and a further bedroom with duplex suite.
Outside there is a bridge over a stream by the drive which leads to the gravel forecourt with ample parking. The gardens surrounding the property are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs along with flower beds, climbing plants and roses.
To the rear, and adjoining the study there is a paved north and west-facing terrace with a further terrace to the front of the house. The farmland lies in the main to the south and comprises around 100 acres of pastureland. The ridge to the north west of the house gives superb views over the East Lyn Valley and the Bristol Channel and leads to woodland running down to Ladycombe Lake, a valley which adjoins the East Lyn Valley.
