Formerly a farmhouse, Brendon House was built circa 1780 and still retains many of the original features and character. Brendon House sits in an acre of mature gardens on the village outskirts, elevated above the East Lyn river, with fields and rugged moorland at the rear, making it one of the best locations in the area. From the house the Brendon Valley sweeps east to Malmsmead, brought to fame by the book "Lorna Doone", and west to Watersmeet then onward to the villages of Lynton and Lynmouth.
