A delightfully positioned holiday letting business set within the Exmoor National Park and within two miles of the coast
Situation - Dean Steep is situated in an attractive rural location in North Devon just off the A39 close to Lynton and Lynmouth which is within 2 miles and is a picturesque village famous for its funicular railway and dramatic sea cliffs and is a popular tourist destination. Lynton and Lynmouth offer a full range of day to day facilities whilst the coastal town of Ilfracombe (15 miles) provides further facilities and amenities. The capital of North Devon Barnstaple, is 17 miles and provides a more extensive range of facilities including the famous Victorian pannier market and Butchers Row.
The property lies within the Exmoor National Park which is an extremely popular holiday destination for walkers, cyclists and horse riders as well as those wishing to enjoy the many square miles of beautiful countryside and coastline. Tourist attractions in North Devon include Watermouth Castle, Dinosaur Wildlife Park at Combe Martin, Exmoor Zoo along with theme parks The Milky Way and The Big Sheep. The coastline is popular with surfers with the renowned beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton Sands. There are golf courses at Ilfracombe, Saunton, Barnstaple and The Royal North Devon golf course at Westward Ho!
Road access to the property is good with the North Devon link road (A361) located at South Molton providing mainly dual carriageway access to the M5 motorway at J27.
Introduction - Dean Steep Holidays comes up for sale for retirement reasons with the current owners having owned the property for the last 5 years, during which time they have upgraded and improved the holiday letting units which were originally
established in the late 1960s and added to in the 1970s. With the principal property is the adjoining field to the rear, though for purchasers requiring additional land there is a further field adjoining to the west with direct lane frontage which is available by separate negotiation, if required.
It is considered by the Agents that there is further scope to develop the business perhaps by undertaking a land based leisure business on the adjoining field, subject to any necessary consents.
The House - The principal property (owners accommodation) dates from the Victorian era, is single storey and has been upgraded over the years. The property enjoys stunning views to the front, from all principal rooms, towards the National Park and moorland. Although currently arranged as a 4/5 bedroom house it could be subdivided to provide a main house with an annexe at the western end possibly allowing potential for use by relatives or paying guests to boost revenue if appropriate. All the rooms to the front of the house have high ceilings, large picture windows providing plenty of natural light and the delightful panoramic rural views.
At the front of the house are the kitchen, dining room and 4 double bedrooms. A hallway runs across the rear of these rooms leading to the living room, office/bedroom 5, two bathrooms, cloakroom and laundry room. There is uPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating.
The Holiday Letting Bungalows - In the late 1960s six bungalows were built in a terrace and in the mid-1970s a further six bungalows were built in three pairs of semidetached properties. They are built of reconstituted stone with either felt or fibreglass flat roofs and have electric storage heating along with double glazed windows. They also have a feature electric fire in the sitting room and include colour televisions, Freesat digital boxes and DVD players. Each kitchen has a range of modern base and wall cupboards, electric cooker, microwave oven and fridge with ice box. The bathroom suites are white. Each bungalow has an allocated parking space. The properties have been continually upgraded over the years and all have Wi-Fi. There are panoramic views over the countryside valley to the front.
The Garden - A tarmac driveway sweeps up to the front of the house, to the holiday bungalows and on to the double garage to the rear. The gardens at the front have patios, flower and shrub borders. At the rear of the house is a private enclosed garden providing a high degree of privacy from guests with a patio area and lawns with raised flower borders with numerous shrubs and an enclosed lawned area.
Reception - Adjoining the main house is a reception area with an information point for guests and a laundry area with plumbing for two washing machines and a tumble dryer.
Games Room And Outbuildings - At the top of the garden is a games room (21 x 15). Door into workshop/store (11 x 7) with light and power. Outside is a play area for games and a Wendy house. Pets can be exercised in the field behind the complex.
There is an interesting stone built folly adjoining the games room/workshop which is in need of some improvement along with a parking area to the rear. Double garage (20 x 17) with two up and over doors.

Additional Land - Lot 2 - Lot 2, adjoining, amounts to 5.22 Acres and is available by separate negotiation. The total acreage would be 11.94 Acres.
