Wake up to views of the sea from this beautifully renovated ground-floor apartment, the perfect spot for both couples and small families to enjoy a spot of rest and relaxation. In an elevated position above cosmopolitan Ilfracombe (which is fast becoming a foodie’s paradise), it is only 500m from its pretty harbour, independent shops and range of restaurants, cafes and pubs. Not to be missed are the Tunnels Beaches, four tunnels that were hand-carved in the 1820s and lead to unique, sheltered beaches and a tidal bathing pool, though further beaches, bays and coves also surround the town. On your doorstep are the award-winning aquarium, the historic St Nicholas Chapel and Verity, artist Damien Hirst’s huge, love-it-or-loathe-it bronze sculpture, which stands at the entrance to the town’s harbour.
The apartment’s open plan living/dining area has a fresh, bright and airy feel, with large windows to enjoy those spectacular views. Leather sofas co-ordinate with the oak-style flooring, stylish striped blinds and wooden dining table and chairs. A quirky mirror draws the eye in the dining area, enhancing the sense of space, and the glossy kitchen, with built-in appliances, is equipped for all culinary needs. On the same floor the two spacious bedrooms, also with large windows, are presented with panache, and share a sleek, modern shower room.
Leading from the bedroom, a stone-flagged patio area with dining table and chairs is ideal for al fresco dining or simply relaxing with a drink and a book while discussing the day’s adventures.
