Located six hundred feet above sea level, this Victorian home in North Devon treats guests to some spectacular views of the Bristol Channel, whether that's out through the large bay windows or while sitting on the wooden terrace. Although your gaze might naturally be drawn to this gorgeous seascape, the home's interior is well worth closer inspection, too. The design is a pleasing mix of heritage and modernity. Nods to the past come in the form of vintage furnishings, ornate beds and floral wallpaper, and these sit quite comfortably alongside the colourful modern artwork and glass coffee tables. In the local villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, you'll find cafes, pubs and the world's steepest water-powered railway. Blacklands Beach is only five minutes away in the car, too.

About Exmoor
Straddling Devon and Somerset, Exmoor might be one of the UK’s smaller national parks, but you’d never know it when you’re there. Exmoor’s 700 square kilometres take in endless moors clad in a purple sea of soft heather, babbling rivers, and sheer cliffs that drop into the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
