Ilfracombe, EX34 8EU

A substantial and elegant detached period residence, offering exceptional space, character and versatility, set within generous gardens with ample parking and the added benefit of a separate coach house. This impressive home is ideally suited to a growing family or those seeking a guest house or income potential.

The property is approached via a spacious driveway providing parking for several vehicles, leading to the main entrance. Once inside, you are welcomed by a striking and expansive entrance hall, showcasing high ceilings, decorative cornicing and ceiling roses, setting the tone for the accommodation throughout.

The principal lounge is beautifully proportioned, enhanced by a large bay window that allows abundant natural light and a feature fireplace that serves as a focal point. A separate dining room, again with a bay window, offers an ideal space for entertaining, while a further snug provides a more intimate and flexible reception area.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, complemented by work surfaces, an integrated gas hob and air conditioning, flowing through to a conservatory enjoying views over the garden. A ground-floor shower room adds further practicality.

To the first floor, a split-level landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, all continuing the period theme with sash-style windows, cornicing, and ceiling roses. Two bedrooms benefit from ensuite facilities, while the family bathroom features a roll-top bath, adding further character.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The driveway provides ample parking, while the gardens wrap around the home, including a level lawned side garden bordered by mature planting. To the rear, a patio area offers an ideal space for outdoor dining, leading onto further lawn.

The coach house presents a fantastic opportunity in its own right. Arranged with an open-plan lounge and kitchen area, a bedroom, and a shower room, it provides flexible accommodation suitable for guests, dependent relatives, or potential income, subject to any necessary consents. A ground-floor workshop with double doors offers further scope for conversion into additional accommodation, again subject to planning.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home with additional accommodation and significant potential, in a highly versatile and desirable setting.

Two bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities, while the family bathroom features a roll-top bath, adding further character.
