Ilfracombe, EX34 8HL

Tucked away at the end of a private shared driveway, with private parking for several vehicles and a garage, Little Orchard is a beautifully restored detached Edwardian home, nestled within approximately a quarter of an acre of established, south-facing gardens, enjoying privacy, tranquillity and wonderful sea views.

Combining the charm and warmth of a cosy country cottage with the high ceilings and architectural character of a traditional Edwardian residence, Little Orchard is a home full of personality. Its inviting rooms, two working fireplaces, including a log-burning stove, and beautiful traditional open staircase rising to the second floor create a wonderful sense of warmth and timeless elegance.

Lovingly and extensively improved by the current owners, the property has been brought to a turnkey standard, with significant investment including roof restoration work, a beautifully appointed solid-ash kitchen, a new downstairs shower room, a utility room and renewed radiators.
These improvements offer the reassurance of a well-maintained home without compromising its original period charm, including stained-glass features and ornate fireplaces.

Outside, the mature wraparound gardens provide a delightful and private setting, with established trees, productive plum trees, a vegetable-growing area, greenhouse and garage.
The grounds offer exciting possibilities for a garden log cabin, home office or additional family accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions, with opportunities to take advantage of the coastal outlook.

As well as its peaceful and secluded position, Little Orchard remains conveniently situated within walking distance of the town, schools, harbour and seafront, offering a wonderful balance between privacy and coastal living.

Little Orchard is a home where Edwardian character meets modern comfort, where the gardens offer space to grow and unwind, and where coastal views provide a beautiful backdrop to everyday life. A distinctive, much-loved home, ready for its next chapter.
