This spacious, comfortable and well-equipped house is a great place to stay at all times of the year. With many beautiful beaches nearby, proximity to the South West Coast Path and a big garden, it is the perfect venue for a classic summer holiday. In wintertime, the large, warm, beautifully furnished kitchen, dining room and sitting room give guests ample space to relax.


The entrance hall of this semi-detached Edwardian house has magnificent period floor tiles and guests are invited to play the grand piano in the living room. At the rear of the house, the dining room with a large table for up to ten guests is adjacent to the modern kitchen and both rooms provide ample living space. The kitchen has a central breakfast bar and just next to the kitchen is the pantry, the utility room with a washing machine and a shower room. Climb up the grand staircase and find four attractive spacious bedrooms. There’s a king-size and a twin at the front plus a super-king-size and a double at the rear. The rear bedrooms look out over the rooftops to the ocean in the distance. The bedrooms offer period features and furniture and a mix of artwork and historic prints. All bedrooms are served by a modern bathroom plus a separate shower room and an additional upstairs WC. All bedrooms have decorative fireplaces. The good size garden has a large lawn as well as planted mature borders. There is a picnic table and additional garden chairs, a BBQ and a rotary clothes drier. For summer play, there are bats and balls but take care with the greenhouse! There is provision for secure storage of bicycles and surfboards. There is also a sun trap recess at the front of the house with a table and chairs also extra outside games, badminton set with rackets, a basketball set with ball, and a mini standing table tennis table.


Ilfracombe is well situated for those who love beaches, walking and places of interest. The historic Tunnels Beaches are 0.5 miles from the house where you can hire a deckchair and enjoy the sheltered cove with stunning views of the rugged cliffs, a tidal swimming pool and amazing rock pools. The white sands of Woolacombe (7 miles) and Croyde (10 miles) are a short car journey away – wonderful for building sandcastles, hiring a wetsuit and learning to surf. These beaches, and many others in the area, are manned by lifeguards in the summer months. Further attractions include Ilfracombe’s historic harbour. From here, you can take a boat along the coast or to Lundy. Children may enjoy visiting the Ilfracombe lifeboat and the wonderful small aquarium focusing on the local river and coastal habitats.
