A Grand Coastal
Georgian Villa
Occupying one of the most commanding positions on the North Devon coastline, Seawood House is an exceptional Grade II listed Georgian villa enjoying panoramic views across Lynmouth Bay, The Foreland and the Welsh coastline beyond. Perched above the historic twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, adjacent to the famous Cliff Railway and the South West Coast Path, this remarkable residence combines historic grandeur, modern comfort and unrivalled coastal scenery.
Dating back to the early nineteenth century, Seawood House is believed to be one of the first properties constructed along North Walk. Rich in local history and architectural character, the property has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully enhanced over the years, preserving its elegant period features while incorporating contemporary refinements, including upgraded heating and electrical systems and a stunning high-specification kitchen.
Approached via a private gravel driveway, the property enjoys a secluded setting with ample parking and a magnificent wraparound terrace that captures some of the finest coastal views in the region. From sunrise breakfasts overlooking the bay to evening entertaining against a backdrop of sea and sky, the outdoor spaces provide an extraordinary setting throughout the year.
The accommodation extends to approximately 5,500 sq ft and offers exceptional flexibility. A grand entrance hall welcomes you into a series of elegant reception rooms, each benefiting from impressive proportions, high ceilings, period fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling doors opening onto the terrace.
At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed contemporary kitchen, combining style and functionality with direct access to the principal living spaces. Arranged across the upper floors are eight generous bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom and many enjoying breathtaking sea views.
The lower ground floor incorporates a self-contained three-bedroom apartment with its own private entrance, kitchen, living space and bathroom facilities — ideal for extended family, guests, staff accommodation or supplementary income potential.
Whether as an impressive private residence, a multigenerational family home, a hospitality venture or a combination of uses, Seawood House represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of North Devon's most recognisable and admired coastal properties.
