Escape to this exquisite retreat near Ilfracombe, which is perfect for a large family or party of friends. Sleeping eight guests, the enchanting, four-bedroom period house is situated at Slade, 1 mile from the centre of the picturesque, Devon town. Complete with a wood burner for winter evenings and a patio for summer lunches, this elegant holiday home makes a magnificent base for anyone seeking to enjoy both the coast and countryside of North Devon.
Enter to discover accommodation that still presents an abundance of character and has been finished in keeping with its age. Unwind together in the splendid lounge, where the wood burner is set into the ornate fireplace and you can recline on soft leather seating as you play board games or watch the Smart TV. Amble through to the kitchen, which has been fitted out to contemporary standards but presents a style designed to complement the rest of the house. Prepare mouth-watering meals then serve them up next door in the adjoining, grand dining room. A WC and one of your bedrooms, a double, are also on the ground floor. Head up the impressive staircase to find the remaining bedrooms. These include two doubles, one with an en-suite shower room, and a twin, with a Smart TV. There is also a family bathroom, with a gorgeous, freestanding bath. Sit out on the patio on sunny afternoons enjoying tea and fresh Devon scones in the fresh area. Take in the leafy views and listen out for the birds in the trees.
Venture into Ilfracombe to go to the famous Tunnels Beaches, which are accessed through the cliffs and where there is a sea pool. Browse in the shops, dine out and take a boat trip from Ilfracombe Harbour over to Lundy Island and spot dolphins, seals, and porpoises.
