This new to the market penthouse apartment is located right on the sea wall in the pretty Victorian fishing town of Ilfracombe. It offers stunning sea views all the way to Wales on a clear day.
Here you can have a ‘cruise ship experience’ on dry land; as you relax sipping a glass of wine or hot chocolate, while listening to the waves and passing seabirds.
The apartment is within easy walking distance of the harbour, shops and restaurants.
If this cosy, dog-friendly apartment were any nearer the turquoise waters around Ilfracombe, catching fish from its Juliet balcony would be a cinch. With its location offering near instant access to the town’s beaches and vibrant town centre, along with spacious open-plan living areas bathing in fresh sea air, it’s just the place for an energetic family or group of friends who are impulsive with their schedule.
After ascending two short flights of stairs, pass through the hall and into the bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen; it’s an inviting, laid-back space where the food can be as fast or slow as you like. The views from the Juliet balcony will be the envy of many, as well as provide inspiration for what the day could bring. The family bathroom is handy for a quick spray between beach visits, while two bedrooms, a king-size bedroom and a super-king-size bedroom, offer unique sea views throughout the day and quiet place to recharge.
With several bays and beaches to choose from within 1 mile, water sports lovers will be in their element and you won’t have to go far on the harbour for a bite to eat. Woolacombe (5 miles) offers some cracking surfing, while the South West Coast Path, which runs through Illfracombe, offers a different perspective of the North Devon shoreline. If you can tear yourselves from the beach, Exmoor National Park offers mountain bike trails, endless footpaths, sea kayaking and, at night, some of the most amazing skygazing opportunities you’re likely to find in the UK.
