St. Brannocks Road, Ilfracombe, Devon, EX34

A HANDSOME AND CHARACTER RICH GEORGIAN HOME

An elegant and rarely available Grade II listed Georgian residence, this striking double-fronted home occupies a prime position just a short stroll from the heart of Ilfracombe, its historic harbour and the breathtaking North Devon coastline. Combining timeless architecture with generous living space, a private walled garden and substantial outbuildings, the property presents a superb opportunity to acquire a distinguished and characterful family home.

The façade reflects the classic symmetry and refinement of the Georgian era, with traditional sash windows and beautifully preserved period detailing throughout. A welcoming central hallway sets the tone on arrival, leading to two impressive reception rooms positioned either side. The formal sitting room and elegant dining room both enjoy high ceilings, large windows that bathe the interiors in natural light, and striking original marble fireplaces — refined yet comfortable spaces equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home. Rich in character, it features an exposed stone wall and a gas-fired Rayburn that provides both warmth and charm. There is ample space for a family dining table, creating an inviting and sociable setting. A separate utility room offers additional storage and laundry space, alongside a convenient ground floor WC. A two-room basement further enhances the practicality of the home, providing excellent additional storage.

Upstairs, the well-balanced accommodation continues with four bedrooms, including three generous doubles and a versatile single bedroom ideal as a study, nursery or dressing room. Each room retains its own character, with the principal bedrooms enjoying lovely natural light and pleasant outlooks. The family bathroom is well proportioned and offers scope for updating or reconfiguration to suit individual tastes.

Externally, the property is equally appealing. The enclosed rear walled garden provides a peaceful and private retreat — perfect for outdoor dining, relaxation or keen gardeners. A charming brick-built greenhouse adds both character and functionality.

A particularly rare feature for a home so close to the town centre is the range of substantial outbuildings. The property benefits from both a double garage and a single garage, providing secure parking and excellent storage. Above the garages sits a spacious and adaptable room currently arranged as a home office, ideal for remote working, hobbies or potential conversion (subject to the necessary consents). This versatile space significantly enhances the overall flexibility of the property.

Located within easy reach of Ilfracombe’s amenities, schools and coastal attractions, the house enjoys the perfect balance of heritage, convenience and seaside lifestyle. Known for its vibrant arts culture, independent shops and spectacular coastal walks, Ilfracombe remains one of North Devon’s most sought-after coastal communities.

Blending architectural elegance, generous accommodation and highly unusual outbuildings, this exceptional Georgian residence represents a rare opportunity. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, character and lifestyle on offer.
