Hermitage Road, Ilfracombe, Devon

This exceptional three-bedroom terraced home on Hermitage Road has been comprehensively improved by the current owners, who have undertaken an extensive programme of renovation including re-skimming, rewiring, new flooring throughout, a newly fitted kitchen, replacement windows, and a new roof. The result is a turn-key property finished to a high standard, ready for immediate occupation.

Upon entering, a welcoming hallway leads through to a beautifully presented living room, where a feature log burner creates a warm and inviting focal point, complemented by UPVC double-glazed sash windows and quality wood-effect flooring.

The real standout feature of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space. Designed with both style and functionality in mind, this space has been thoughtfully reconfigured to create a true hub of the home, ideal for modern living and entertaining. Natural light pours in through a skylight and rear window, enhancing the sense of space. The contemporary Howdens kitchen is finished to an excellent specification, offering a breakfast bar, integrated appliances including fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven and microwave, as well as soft-close cabinetry with clever hidden storage solutions. A five-ring gas hob with extractor sits beneath sleek worktops, complemented by a Franke integrated sink seamlessly set into the surface. This is a space that genuinely elevates the entire property.

A separate utility room leads off the kitchen, providing additional storage along with space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, with direct access out to the garden.

The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two doubles and a versatile single room ideal as a home office or nursery. The bathroom has been stylishly finished, featuring a double shower cubicle with floor-to-ceiling tiling and built-in shelving, a wall-mounted wash hand basin with storage unit below and vanity mirror above, low-level WC, and extractor fan. An airing cupboard housing the combi boiler is located separately on the first floor.

Externally, the rear garden provides a private and low-maintenance space, with a patio seating area bordered by stonework and enclosed by timber fencing, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. An outside tap adds further practicality.

Situated within easy reach of Ilfracombe’s harbour, local amenities, schools, and stunning coastal walks, this property offers the perfect blend of lifestyle and convenience, with excellent road links via the A361 connecting to Barnstaple and beyond.
