Newberry Road, Combe Martin,
Ilfracombe, EX34 0AP

Occupying a commanding elevated position along a peaceful no-through road, this exceptional period residence enjoys truly spectacular, uninterrupted views across Newberry Beach, Combe Martin Bay and stretching towards Lester Point and Hangman’s Hill. Quite literally a stone’s throw from the shoreline, this is a rare opportunity to secure a frontline coastal home where the outlook is ever-changing and endlessly captivating, offering a lifestyle that is as impressive as it is unique.

Arranged over three floors, the property offers generous, well-balanced accommodation, seamlessly blending charming period features with practical modern living. Character elements such as original fireplaces, sash windows and traditional tiled flooring sit comfortably alongside contemporary touches, creating a home that feels both elegant and functional. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning bay-fronted living room, where natural light pours in and frames those far-reaching sea views, providing a constant focal point. This is complemented by a spacious dining room ideal for hosting and entertaining, along with a well-appointed kitchen featuring granite worktops, ample storage and direct access to the rear courtyard and parking.

The upper floors continue to impress, offering four well-proportioned double bedrooms arranged across two levels, all enjoying a strong sense of space and light, with several rooms benefitting from those outstanding coastal vistas. The top floor hosts two of these bedrooms along with two bathrooms, one of which serves as an ensuite to one of the bedrooms, creating an ideal private retreat. The principal bedroom stands out as a true highlight, with French doors opening onto a private balcony, creating the perfect spot to take in the panoramic views across the beach and beyond. A well-equipped family bathroom and an additional modern shower room provide further flexibility for both everyday living and guests, making the property equally suited as a main residence, second home or premium holiday let.

Externally, the lifestyle appeal continues. To the front, a raised patio area has been thoughtfully positioned to fully embrace the stunning outlook, offering an ideal setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation while overlooking the bay. To the rear, a private enclosed courtyard provides additional outdoor space along with practical storage options, leading to the significant advantage of two private parking spaces, a rare and highly sought-after feature within such a prime coastal location.

The location itself is equally compelling. Combe Martin village is within comfortable walking distance, offering a range of everyday amenities, independent shops and well-regarded eateries, including the popular Bobbies Bakes just moments away. The South West Coast Path runs directly past the property, opening up miles of breathtaking coastal walks, while the gateway to Exmoor National Park lies just beyond, providing endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits. The wider North Devon coastline, including renowned beaches such as Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton, is also within easy reach, alongside the regional centre of Barnstaple for more extensive shopping and transport links.

This is a truly special home, offering an exceptional combination of position, character, space and lifestyle, rarely available within such a sought-after coastal setting.
