South Bay Villas is an exceptional Victorian residence of considerable charm and distinction, beautifully presented throughout and positioned just moments from Ilfracombe Harbour and its vibrant coastal setting. This elegant home has been thoughtfully and sympathetically enhanced by the current owners, seamlessly blending refined contemporary finishes with its rich period character.

Currently operating as a successful holiday let, the property offers an outstanding lifestyle investment with proven income potential, whilst equally lending itself to a superb and substantial family home in one of the area’s most desirable locations.

On the first floor, two beautifully appointed double bedrooms are accompanied by a stylish and contemporary ensuite shower room, finished to a high standard and designed with both comfort and elegance in mind.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a private and low-maintenance courtyard garden, laid with gravel chippings and enclosed by attractive stone walling, offering a peaceful and sheltered outdoor retreat. An external tap provides further practicality.

South Bay Villas represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished coastal home, combining timeless character, modern refinement and versatile living, all within effortless reach of the harbour and the stunning North Devon coastline.
