Fore Street, Ilfracombe, Devon, EX34

Seraph is a delightful and deceptively spacious Grade II Listed cottage style home situated at the bottom end of Fore Street and located less than 200 metres from the picturesque harbour and the working quay. The home is packed full of character and charm and is believed to date back to the 17th century.

The property was converted from one larger house back in the late 1990's and has accommodation arranged over two floors. There is the immediate feeling of space upon entering the property via the main entrance and a glass door into the entrance lobby which opens into a particularly characterful and cosy lounge which measures an impressive 17ft x 15ft and has a beamed ceiling with a lot of the wood thought to have come from old ships. An attractive and beautifully kept old 'Curtis' range sits in an imposing stone built fireplace recess and provides a focal point to the room. There is a heavy wooden beam over carved with an inscription dated 1662. Stairs lead up to the first floor. Leading on from the lounge is the 15ft x 11ft kitchen/diner which is located at the rear of the cottage and is another generous sized room. There is a range of fitted base and wall units and integrated appliances including an oven, hob and extractor canopy. There is also provision for fridge, washing machine and tumble dryer and there is the gas fired boiler for the central heating and hot water. Within the room is a tiled floor and space for a family sized dining table and chairs.

Moving to the first floor, there are two spacious bedrooms, both of which have their own en suite facilities. At the front of the cottage is double bedroom which has an en suite bathroom whilst at the rear, the bedroom is set up with twin beds and has an en suite shower room.

Seraph is a delightful and charming home located in popular and sought after location and has the benefit of no onward chain.
