HAVEN HEIGHTS, Woody Bay
VICTORIAN CHARM... Nestled into the beautiful National Trust woodland within Exmoor National Park and facing out over the glinting blue of the Bristol channel the property has glorious sea and coastal views across the channel to the Welsh coast. The peaceful nook upon which the charming Victorian building sits is surrounded by a graceful woodland with a gentle stream trickling its way through the landscaped gardens as you approach the property. There is private off road parking and a store area concealing the oil tank, with a paved path and steps up to the private entrance.
THE LONG VIEW As you enter the property from the covered terrace at the front there is a charming entrance hall for dashing off those coats and boots and stashing away those brollies. As you pass into the open plan living dining space it is impossible for your eye not to be drawn to the very special views, to the front
over the woodland, to the sea and the horizon beyond. The views are spectacular at anytime of the year and in any weather. On a clear day you will be able to see the details of the Welsh coast extending away on the other side of the Bristol Channel.
From this elevated position you can both watch the birdlife in the trees and monitor the passing ships as they cross your view, splendidly framed the natural contours of the coastal woodland and cliffs.
