Richmond Avenue, Ilfracombe, Devon, EX34

Belmont Lodge is a spacious, well-presented and versatile detached family home situated in a quiet and tucked away position in a popular cul-de-sac close to the town centre and amenities. The property sits in its own enclosed gardens and grounds approached via a private driveway which provides a generous amount of off-road parking. There are low-maintenance and private gardens to the front and the rear, perfect for outdoor living and there is even a hot tub included as well! Richmond Avenue is located approximately a quarter of a mile from the High Street and around half a mile from the sea front with its picturesque harbour and working fish quay. The Cairn Nature Reserve is just a short distance away and is popular with dog walkers and cyclists with direct access on to the 'Tarka Trail' Cycle track which meanders for miles and miles through the glorious North Devon countryside.

The homes is well-presented throughout in mainly neutral tones with several rooms having been recently decorated and new floor coverings laid. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and has versatile spaces which are perfect for family living. There is even potential for a ground floor en suite bedroom, if required, making this area ideal for an elderly or disabled occupant. The property benefits from gas fired central heating and uPVC double glazing and there is a good-sized uPVC double glazed conservatory to the rear which leads directly out onto the rear garden allowing for a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

An entrance porch leads through into the entrance hall which has the stairs to the first floor. The 22ft long living room offers a good deal of space and has a fitted electric fire set in a fireplace which provides a focal point to the room. Sliding door open into the delightful conservatory which overlooks the rear garden and has direct access on to it via double doors. The kitchen has a range of modern fitted base and wall units and provisions for a range style cooked with an extractor canopy over as well as space for an under counter fridge and plumbing for the washing machine and a dishwasher. Leading from the kitchen is a 15ft long separate dining room which has sliding doors that lead out on to the front garden. This room provides handy additional living space and also has a separate toilet. It is considered that this area of the property could be used as a ground floor bedroom if required with scope to extend the toilet to form a full shower room.

Moving to the first floor, there are three double-sized bedrooms (one is currently used as a dressing room). The family bathroom also offers plenty of space and has the benefit of a bath as well as a separate walk-in shower cubicle. Adjacent to the bathroom is a further separate toilet.

Outside, the property sits at the end of Richmond Avenue which is a quieter cul-de-sac so there is no passing traffic. The grounds are well-screened from neighbouring properties and there is a private tarmaced driveway which leads up to the house and which provides enough space to park three vehicles. Adjacent to the drive is a large low-maintenance gravelled flowerbed interspersed with various shrubs and bushes. At the rear of the house there is a level and easily maintained fully enclosed area of garden which is laid predominantly with artificial grass. Again, the garden area is well-screened but offers a sunny aspect. There is plenty of space for outdoor living and entertaining and ample room for sun loungers, outdoor furniture and the barbecue. Furthermore, for those who love the outdoor life, there is a hot tub included in the sale! As the gardens are fully enclosed they are ideal for younger children and pets.

Belmont Lodge offers something for everyone and would work for couples looking for low maintenance living or has enough space and facilities to accommodate a growing family. Furthermore, there is also excellent rental potential with a typical monthly rent for a home of this type being in the region of £1,100 (£13,200 annually). We fully advise a full and early internal inspection.
