Originally constructed in 1805, Martyn House is a very spacious (2045 sq ft) detached Georgian residence situated in a central and convenient location in the heart of the popular coastal village of Combe Martin.

The current vendor has renovated the whole property to a high standard.

The property sits in a generously plot which stretches up away from the property and has an array of current uses, with a vegetable plot and a patio area. From the top of the garden excellent views can be enjoyed over the village and surrounding countryside and down the valley towards the Bristol Channel.

The house itself has particularly flexible accommodation arranged over 3 floors and is considered ideal for the larger family or for a family with dependant relative. The property benefits from gas central heating and has uPVC double glazing and an abundance of original character features.

On the first floor there is a split level landing and the stairs that lead up to the second floor.
