Ascend to the first floor where four sumptuous bedrooms await, each graced with character fireplaces and elegant radiators. The luxurious family bathroom is a nod to the home’s heritage, with a high-level Victorian WC and distinctive period fittings that add a whimsical charm.
Continue to the top floor to discover two further bedrooms — perhaps the most enchanting of all — from which the views are nothing short of celestial. A tasteful shower room and access to a capacious eaves storage area complete this elevated level of the home.
The rear garden is a horticultural haven, with cross-slate retaining walls, a whimsical Victorian crazy-paved patio, and a hidden outdoor WC. A secret gate leads you directly to the sublime Hele Bay, offering a private passage to the coast. Mature shrubs and flowering plants adorn both front and rear gardens in an ever-changing palette of seasonal splendour.
Beneath the property lies a generous cellar space, brimming with potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents — a rare and exciting opportunity to expand this already magnificent home.
All main services are connected, with ultra-fast broadband supplied via a reliable 5G network, ensuring modern convenience complements the historic charm.
Ilfracombe itself is a vibrant and eclectic coastal town, offering a delightful blend of independent boutiques, major supermarkets, art galleries, and a thriving culinary scene. The bustling harbour, with its new water hub and café, is a hive of energy and culture.
North Devon, famed for its world-class surfing beaches and recently designated a ‘World Surfing Reserve’ — one of only twelve in the world — offers a paradise for lovers of the sea and sun. Meanwhile, the nearby Exmoor National Park delivers jaw-dropping landscapes, abundant wildlife, and a lifetime of walking adventures.
Just 12 miles from Barnstaple — North Devon’s principal commercial and transport hub — with its comprehensive retail offerings and rail connections to the national network, the location strikes an ideal balance between tranquil seclusion and practical accessibility.
