Kingsley Avenue, Ilfracombe

Set at the end of a private driveway within approximately 2.81 acres of beautifully established gardens, woodland and pasture, The Grange is an impressive detached Victorian residence offering exceptional space, character and versatility on the outskirts of Ilfracombe.

Dating from the 1890s with later additions, the main house provides over 6,450 sq ft of accommodation arranged across three floors. A grand entrance hall leads to two generous reception rooms, currently arranged as a lounge and dining room, together with a conservatory, orangery and substantial kitchen/breakfast room. Further accommodation includes a utility room, boot room and a ground floor bedroom suite designed for accessible living.

Across the main house and annexe there are six bedrooms to the main house and a further 2 bedrooms to the annex, providing outstanding flexibility for larger families, those looking for multi-generational living or buyers wanting space for visiting family and friends.

A particular feature is the impressive indoor leisure complex, incorporating a heated 40ft swimming pool, electrically operated cover, six-person hot tub and changing facilities, with direct access to a private garden terrace and built-in barbecue.

The detached annexe is a significant advantage. The ground floor provides a substantial games room and garage/workshop, while the first floor offers a self-contained two-bedroom apartment with living room, kitchen, bathroom and private garden. This makes The Grange ideally suited to dual occupancy, dependent relatives, older children or extended family, while also providing the potential to generate a supplementary income if desired.

Outside, the secluded grounds include sweeping lawns, ponds, mature woodland, pasture, terraces and pathways, with attractive countryside and sea views. There is also generous parking and turning space for several vehicles.

Currently used as self-catering holiday accommodation, The Grange lends itself exceptionally well to becoming a substantial private family residence.

Bicclescombe Park lies at the end of the drive, with Ilfracombe’s harbour, amenities and the beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton all within easy reach.
