Torrs Park, Ilfracombe, Devon, EX34

LOCATION
Ilfracombe has long been established as a thriving seaside resort, thanks to its sandy beach, wide range of accommodation and amenities. In recent years it has attracted a more diverse crowd too, including those who come to visit its Michelin-starred restaurant and see artist Damien Hirst's installation 'Verity' that dominates the otherwise traditional harbour. Ilfracombe's resident population of over 11,000 makes it one of North Devon's larger towns, and there are solid plans for ongoing development including an additional 1,500k houses and possible marina. Good road and bus services connect Ilfracombe to Barnstaple (12 miles), Woolacombe (6 miles), Combe Martin (5 miles), Croyde (9 miles), Braunton (7 miles), Bideford (22 miles) and South Molton (24 miles).

THE SITUATION
Torrs Park is in the favoured west end of the town where several fine houses are located. The area was most heavily developed in the late Victorian / Georgian era when the well to do were building their villas by the sea. The subject property is from this heady period. Torrs Park gives the modern tourist choices, as it is on the fringes of the town near National Trust land and the coastal path but still close to the retail core and enjoys good access to the harbour with regular boats during the summer to Lundy Island.
