The home, in the agent’s words
Read the full agent description
A spacious and characterful double-fronted end-terrace home, conveniently positioned within easy walking distance of Ilfracombe High Street and local schools. Offering four double bedrooms, two reception rooms and flexible ground-floor accommodation, this well-presented freehold property is ideal for families, multigenerational living or anyone seeking generous space close to the town centre.
The welcoming entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway featuring an original mosaic-tiled floor, an ornate turned-spindle staircase and useful storage for coats and footwear.
At the heart of the home is an impressive lounge with a front-facing bay window and views across neighbouring properties towards the Torrs. Character features include an original cast-iron and tiled marble fireplace, together with fitted floor-to-ceiling bookcases.
Across the hallway is a versatile second reception room, suitable for use as a dining room, home office, playroom or fifth bedroom. Its proximity to the ground-floor shower room and separate WC makes it particularly useful for guests or multigenerational living.
From an open plan dining room with storage and space for a piano, this area spills into the modern kitchen, fitted with a range of white wall and base units, complemented by tiled flooring and a stable-style door opening onto the rear courtyard. Adjacent to here is a useful utility space with space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer. A downstairs WC completes the floor.
Upstairs, the charming split-level landing leads to four generously sized double bedrooms. Both front bedrooms enjoy views towards the Torrs, while the second bedroom includes built-in wardrobes across one wall and a washbasin set within a vanity unit. The family bathroom has a modern white suite comprising a panelled bath with an overhead shower and screen, a WC and a vanity-mounted washbasin.
Outside, the front of the property has a gently sloping brick-paved approach and a small raised gravel garden. To the rear is a substantial, low-maintenance, L-shaped courtyard garden. The lower terrace measures approximately 25'8" x 10'10" and includes an outside tap and pedestrian access to a side lane. An additional raised paved terrace provides further outdoor seating space.
The property benefits from gas central heating supplied by a modern combination boiler and UPVC double glazing to the front elevation. On-street parking is available locally. This deceptively spacious and flexible home retains a wealth of original character and must be viewed internally to appreciate the accommodation on offer.
