Description

The Breakers is an attractive detached property built in 2012, which has remained in the same ownership since construction. The property offers versatile and well-arranged accommodation over two floors and would suit purchasers seeking a holiday investment, second home, or full-time residential property.

The accommodation begins with an entrance hallway providing access to a double/twin bedroom with en-suite shower room. The hallway then opens into the impressive dual-aspect open plan kitchen, dining and living room, which forms the heart of the home.

This bright and spacious living area features an impressive vaulted ceiling and large feature window, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the space and creating a wonderful airy and welcoming atmosphere. Full-height glazed doors open directly onto the patio and enclosed garden, providing seamless indoor-outdoor living and an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining.

The generous proportions allow ample room for comfortable lounge seating and a dining area, while the open layout ensures the space remains sociable and practical for both family living and holiday guests. The well-appointed kitchen features a breakfast bar and the dining area integrates effortlessly with the living space making this room perfectly suited to everyday living and hosting.

From the main living space, an inner hallway leads to a further twin/double bedroom with en-suite shower room, along with stairs rising to the first floor, where there is a third twin/double bedroom with fitted wardrobe. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

A particularly useful feature of the property is the integral garage, accessed from the entrance hall. Currently arranged as a large utility and storage area with sink facilities, it is considered that this space offers excellent flexibility and could potentially be adapted for a home office, gym, or even a fourth bedroom with en-suite if required. Any such alternations would be subject to necessary planning permissions and consents.

Externally, the property is approached via a tarmac driveway providing parking for two to three vehicles, with gated side access leading to the enclosed rear pebbled garden. Designed for low maintenance, the garden includes a paved patio area directly off the living space offering ample room for the addition of a hot tub, further enhancing its appeal as a coastal retreat.

The Breakers occupies a convenient position at the top of Woolacombe, with a footpath to the beach within easy reach of the property, allowing quick access to the renowned coastline. The Tarka Trail runs just behind the property and can be accessed nearby, offering miles of scenic walking and cycling routes towards Ilfracombe and across the North Devon countryside.

Currently operating as a holiday let, the house offers an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking an investment in the highly regarded coastal village of Woolacombe. The property also lends itself well to use as a comfortable family home or a second home in a coastal location.

The Breakers sits adjacent to High Tides, a property of identical design and layout, which is also available for sale through taylor underwood.
