An elegant and characterful Victorian residence, offering spacious and flexible accommodation across three floors, enviably positioned in a sought-after location within the vibrant coastal town of Ilfracombe. Presented to the market for the first time in nearly four decades, this fine home offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a property of such provenance and potential.

Nestled within a picturesque terrace, this handsome Victorian house enjoys an elevated and desirable setting just a short stroll from Ilfracombe’s bustling town centre, with its eclectic mix of independent shops, galleries, eateries, and essential amenities. The famous seafront, historic harbour, and renowned Verity statue by Damien Hirst are also within easy reach, providing a perfect blend of lifestyle and convenience.

Steeped in character and retaining a wealth of period features throughout, the property exudes a timeless charm. High ceilings, original joinery, decorative mouldings, and feature fireplaces offer a tangible sense of history, while large sash windows—including striking bay windows to the principal reception room and main bedroom—flood the interior with natural light.

Accommodation is generous and versatile, thoughtfully arranged over three floors. The ground floor comprises an impressive bay-fronted lounge/dining room with feature fireplace and ornate ceiling detail, a charming snug or breakfast room ideal for informal dining, and a separate kitchen which offers access to a useful lean-to/storage area—providing additional practicality and potential.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide ample space for family living or guest accommodation. Of particular note is the principal bedroom, a wonderfully bright and spacious room with a large bay window enjoying pleasant outlooks. The accommodation is further served by a family bathroom, a wet room, and a separate W/C, catering well to modern-day requirements.

Externally, the property benefits from a low-maintenance rear garden—an ideal spot for al fresco dining or simply relaxing in the coastal air. While the home has been well maintained, it offers considerable scope for sympathetic refurbishment and modernisation, allowing discerning buyers to tailor the interiors to their personal tastes and needs.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property of such scale, setting, and character in one of North Devon’s most desirable coastal locations. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle and potential on offer.
