Read the full agent description

This delightful beautifully presented four bedroom detached property sits within its own grounds with surrounding well stocked gardens and having a superb outlook across the National Trust owned Torrs, the town towards the Bristol Channel and distant Welsh coastline. There is off street parking, a large sun terrace and a huge amount of potential to add your own stamp.

The living accommodation is deceptively spacious and arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises of a large entrance hallway with a separate wc, open plan kitchen/diner and a very impressive and light filled living room/diner. A real stand out feature to this wonderful property is the large sun terrace that leads off from the living room. From here, views across the Torrs can be enjoyed, but there is also ample space for a dining table and chairs. Moving up through the property on to the first floor, there are four bedrooms and a family bath/shower room. Bedrooms one and two enjoy superb views to the front elevation.

Outside there are well stocked gardens that surround the property which comprise of a selection of mature shrubs, attractive flowers and verdant vegetation. For the keen gardener there is a lot of scope to really make this outside space your own. There is off street parking, however there is potential to create further parking subject to the necessary consent. Underneath the property there is a large store room/work shop. This area could be utilized a home office, gym or even a self-contained unit with letting potential subject to the necessary consent.

The property currently makes for a comfortable home for the growing family but would also suit those seeking a sizeable property to relocate or as a sound buy to let investment. An early internal inspection is highly advised to avoid disappointment.

Ilfracombe town centre has a variety of small independent shops as well as larger supermarkets, schools for all ages, a health centre, cottage hospital, theatre, post office and a bank. The picturesque sea front and harbour has further shops, bars and some fantastic restaurants. Wildersmouth Beach and the famous Victorian hand carved "Tunnels" beach are along the esplanade which leads down to the picturesque harbour and the renowned artist Damien Hirst's influence can be felt by the addition of many art galleries which have appeared over recent years together with his majestic 60ft tall "Verity" statue at the harbour mouth. Barnstaple, North Devon's main trading centre is approximately 12 miles away with many of the big name shops and a rail link to the inter-city network. North Devon has a huge amount to offer with the fabulous golden sand surfing beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton just a short car ride away. The Exmoor National Park is also within easy reach and enjoys some breath-taking scenery and miles and miles of walking.
