Its imposing architecture designed on the principal of a French Chateau dominates the sea front sky line and commands uninterrupted views having a unique 360 degree aspect. The property is located within the Conservation Area of Ilfracombe.

The building is situated in one of the most commanding coastal locations within the town and is located close to the town centre and sea front and the popular and picturesque Torrs walk which enjoys some spectacluar coastal scenery. The bustling sea front has many good quality restaurants and bars along with small independent shops, all of which are within easy reach of the apartment. Damien Hirst's influence within the town continues to grow and there are now many art galleries within the immediate area. The Landmark Theatre is located very close by and is a fantastic facility with a large variety of shows, live music and festivals. Wildersmouth Beach is also within a short stroll as is the famous Tunnels Beaches with its sea water pool.

The building is accessed via a communal entrance lobby with stairs and a passenger lift to all floors. Apartment 11 is stylish and offers contemporary modern living and facilities. The entrance hall has a store cupboard and useful utility cupboard with an automatic washing machine. The living room leads out onto a balcony and enjoys views over the town towards Hillsborough and the Coastguard Cottages and across to Wildersmouth Beach and Capstone. The kitchen opens from the rear of the living room and has a contemporary range of fitted base and wall units complimented by black granite work surfaces. There are integrated appliances including an oven, hob, extractor canopy and microwave, dishwasher and American style fridge.

Along the hallway there are 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom (bedroom 2 on the floor plan) has access on to the balcony and an en-suite shower room with contemporary fitted furniture. The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom/wc with similar fittings.
