On the lower ground floor, the heart of the home is the exceptional kitchen and dining room, measuring almost 30 feet in length. This impressive space is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with direct access to the gardens. A utility room leads off from the kitchen and, in turn, provides access to a large walk-in storage cupboard and a separate WC.

Outside, there is access from a gate entrance down a driveway which has full access rights, this then leads to the properties own driveway and garage, while gardens extend to both ends of the barn and along the side, offering a variety of outdoor spaces from which to enjoy the setting and views. Rarely do properties of this nature become available so close to Ilfracombe town centre, and with the added advantage of being offered to the market with no onward chain, this is an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to create a truly exceptional home in a highly desirable location.

Planning permission has been granted for the barn adjacent to Clover Meadows to be converted into accommodation. The barn is owned by the current vendors of Clover
Meadows, and external plans are available for prospective purchasers
upon request.

It is worth noting that the approved design has been carefully arranged to maintain a high degree of privacy for both properties, with no direct overlooking windows facing Clover Meadows. Once completed, the development is expected to further enhance the setting and overall appeal of the location.
