LOCATION
In a prime tourist trading location, which is often referred to as the 'Golden Mile of Ilfracombe' due to its frontage onto one of the main approach roads into the resort. The property is close to Bicclescombe Gardens, an award winning park land with lake, babbling brook, tennis courts and play area. The property is within approximately 1 mile of the town centre at level walking distance of this popular resort. The town has a population of around 11,000 inhabitants which is boosted during the summer months with an influx of tourists. In recent years, inward investment has included a Tesco's supermarket, Lidl's supermarket and Wetherspoon's Public House on the seafront. The town offers a host of tourist facilities including an indoor swimming pool, numerous beaches, traditional promenade and on the outskirts of town a popular golf course. The town has also benefitted from the gift of a large statue on the pier called 'Verity' from the world renowned artist Damian Hirst which has resulted in many more day visitors to the area. In addition in recent years 10 art galleries have opened and the town has great plans for further development including a new water sports centre at Larkstone Beach.
THE PROPERTY
The property stands proud above the main road and is a gracious semi-detached Victorian residence, offering surprisingly spacious accommodation on three levels with a large basement below.

In addition the property has the benefit of a large grand entrance hallway, conservatory and conservatory entrance lobby. The first floor provides four en-suite bedrooms, one of which is used for private accommodation and to the second floor there are a further three bedrooms, one of which is used for storage and two as letting accommodation, each with en-suite facilities. The property has a car park forecourt and to the rear steps lead to a 2-tier garden.
