We’re delighted to see The Beacon on Countisbury Hill, Lynmouth, included in MoneyWeek’s selection of the best houses for sale in elevated locations.
Set some 400ft above sea level in its own woodland within Exmoor National Park, the house is understood to date from 1904 and is thought to have been built for a shipping magnate who wanted to watch his ships pass through the Bristol Channel. The Lookout, a long room with the feel of a ship’s bridge, has 180-degree views across the water to the Welsh coast.
Built in the Edwardian Arts & Crafts style, the house has seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, with a second floor that could form a self-contained apartment (STP). A detached coach house has one-bedroom accommodation above a double garage and the grounds extend to about 10.2 acres, adjoining National Trust land. Offered with no onward chain.
Guide price £2,500,000
