Description

128 The Shields is a beautifully presented three bedroom detached bungalow, perfectly positioned in an elevated residential area with far reaching views across the town towards the Torrs, the Bristol Channel and the distant Welsh coastline. The property combines generous living space with low maintenance design, making it an exceptional choice for families, retirees or those seeking a home with both comfort and convenience.

The location is particularly desirable, just a short walk from the High Street and within easy reach of the town’s schools for all ages. Everyday amenities are close at hand, while the elevated position ensures privacy and an outlook that is rarely available.

Inside, the home feels bright and welcoming from the moment you step into the split level hallway. A useful store cupboard provides space for laundry appliances, keeping them discreetly tucked away. The lounge is a delightful and airy room with a large picture window and glazed door that opens directly onto the balcony, where the superb coastal views can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

The well appointed kitchen includes integrated appliances and flows easily to the rest of the accommodation. All three bedrooms are generously proportioned and the modern bathroom has been finished with a walk in shower, basin and WC.

Outside, the property offers an integral garage with power and light as well as driveway parking. The surrounding gardens are designed for ease of upkeep, with lawns, mature shrubs and colourful planting that provide a private and sunny setting.

Offered with no onward chain, 128 The Shields presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious home in a highly sought after location with views that truly set it apart.

Ilfracombe is an historic Victorian seaside resort and provides shopping facilities as well as other amenities such as Banks, Library, Post Office, Schools and Cinema etc. There are a number of attractions within walking distance including Damien Hirst's now famous Verity statue situated on the Harbour, the award-winning Ilfracombe Aquarium, the unique Tunnels Beaches and many more. You will find numerous events and festivals throughout the year, many based on the quayside at the historic harbour and at the prestigious Landmark Theatre on the seafront. There are many fine and award winning beaches close by, from secluded coves to the wide stretches of golden sand with crashing surf. For a unique beach experience visit 'The Tunnels' in Ilfracombe, holders of a blue flag and seaside award or Hele Bay, to the east of the town, also award winners, for good bathing and rock pool exploring. Putsborough, Woolacombe and Croyde are within easy motoring distance, whilst North Devon's regional centre of Barnstaple is approximately 20 minutes driving time.
