In a prominent position overlooking Ilfracombe’s picturesque harbour, this superb three-storey house has panoramic views from all the bedrooms and the front-facing windows, and is only around 400m from the centre of the vibrant coastal resort. Here there is a wide range of shops, galleries, bars and places to eat, some lovely Victorian architecture and hidden lanes to explore, and sheltered beaches reached by hand-carved tunnels. While wandering through the town you could visit the award-winning aquarium, climb up to the hilltop St Nicholas Chapel, or enjoy a cream tea at the Hele Corn Mill. If you decide to eat at home, why not buy some crab or lobster straight from the fishing boats which land their catches below the house?
Steps lead up to the front of the property and into an entrance hall and the lounge, with comfortable seating, tall bay window and beautiful parquet flooring. Next door, the dining area has a large oak dining table and chairs and leads into a fabulous kitchen that includes both an island with prep sink and seating and a further utility area with a Belfast sink, dishwasher and microwave. On the first floor are two bedrooms: a twin with en-suite shower room (with comfort-height WC), and a super-king-size with another en-suite shower room. Also on this level, children and teenagers will love the snug, where a smart TV and Xbox are set up for gaming or watching favourite films. On the second floor are three more bedrooms: a super-king-size with an en-suite bathroom with shower, a king-size, and the master super-king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room with rainfall shower head. On this floor you will also find a family bathroom and a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The large sun terrace at the front of the house overlooks the harbour and decking out the back high up with lovely views of Ilfracombe and Harbour. From here you can watch the boats bob about and children playing on the small sandy cove, and perhaps get a bird’s eye view of the lifeboat launching on a training run. This is an ideal spot for relaxing with a drink and a book, or unwinding in the evening while watching the sun go down.
