Gorgeous Seawood House, 200 years old, is a Grade II listed detached Georgian property, totalling 11 rooms, sitting atop the North Walk Hillside close to the Funicular Cliff Railway, overlooking the delightful Blue and Green waters of Lynmouth Bay.

A truly stunning vista taking in the surrounding coast, hills, and South Wales peninsula beyond. The property briefly comprising 8 large Bedroom suites, all with en-suite bathrooms, multiple grand reception rooms with french style double doors for external access, a central kitchen suite that would be the envy of any professional chef, and a self-contained 3 bedroom lower ground floor apartment. An extremely opulant and regal style property with character and period features throughout, the building is meticulously maintained, and has recently received many more refurbishments. (Ongoing upkeep and refurbishments include new hallway and stairwell carpets on Three floors April 2025)

Used for various purposes over centuries including it's original intention as a Grand Georgian residence, a Boutique Hotel under management, or a seaside residence with staff quarters, this property offers amazing versatility and scope. Maybe you can imagine taking Sancerre and Lynmouth Crab on the large ocean facing veranda with the family on a Sunday lunchtime, or attracting paying guests to some of the delightful bedroom suites, or even conjuring up chef's table invites for the local foody community, either way, the foundations have been largely laid for you however you decide to call it

yours.

Lovely entrance hallway leading to further inner hallway and grand staircase.

Opulent and gorgeous period features adorn this property throughout, with plenty of hidden inglenooks, storage space, and hidden ancillary areas.

The property is approached from a private gravel natural-turn driveway, up and onto a private bay parking area for 8 cars. Adjacent the South West Coast Path, the views and location here are naturally equisite, not to take anything away from the attention to detail, flamboyance, and extreme beauty of the Villa itself.
