This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a very spacious, semi detached Victorian house which offers tremendous scope for a very variety of uses and purposes. The house boasts possibly the largest garden in the road and has ample parking to the rear for 4/5 cars. The present owners have taken full advantage of the large gardens which now offers planning permission to erect a separate detached house. Planning was granted under Application No. 73351. Decision date 23rd June 2021. This is outlined in red in above picture. This provides for a very well proportioned and contemporary detached 3 bedroom family home, arranged over 3 floors.
The main house offers bright and airy accommodation, also arranged over 3 floors, and within which is a separate self contained annexe which currently produces an excellent Airbnb income. The main house also has tremendous potential as planning is still in place to run a day nursery to the ground floor, so any business that falls within this category can be started very quickly and with the benefit of domestic dwelling space. There is further potential for a second long term let/Airbnb by converting the rooms to the rear of the house on the ground floor. In the past the property has been run as a hotel, tea rooms and more recently as a day nursery, but the property also has potential as a large holiday let to benefit from the excellent holiday market that the area is renowned for. However, it is the superb views on offer which are sure to appeal as the house stands in a prominent position overlooking the harbour, Lantern Hill and Damion Hirst's "Verity". The views continue over The Bristol Channel and right over to Wales on the horizon. This must be one of the best positions in Ilfracombe as it takes full advantage of the view.
There is the benefit of UPVc double glazing and gas fired radiator central heating. The very spacious accommodation flows nicely and comprises an annexe with lovely kitchen, shower room and bed/sitting area. To the side, there is a large family/reception room with wood burner and from here there is an attractive stained glass Victorian door to a large entrance hall. Here there is a former playroom, utility room and laundry. To the first floor there is a good size living room with superb views, whilst to the rear is a dining room and well fitted kitchen. Also to this floor is a nicely appointed shower room, whilst to the second floor there are 4 bedrooms and a bathroom.
The house stands on a large plot with vehicular access to its own large parking area to the rear where there is parking for 4/5 cars. The lawned gardens are to the rear and side of the house and can be accessed from the front road. These gently slope up to a large decked area, ideal for BBQ's, entertaining and al fresco dining. This area is where there is permission to construct a contemporary detached family house. Immediately to the rear of the main house is decked area ideal to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.
Properties of this nature are extremely rare and therefore, we recommend a full viewing at the earliest opportunity to appreciate the flexible and diverse accommodation with tremendous income potential, 2-3 family occupation, business opportunities and of course; the views!

The property stands in one of the best positions in Ilfracombe. It is only 10 minutes walk down to the main quay and Damien Hirst's "Verity" statue which can be seen from the property. The town centre is approximately 3/4 of a mile away and offers an excellent range of amenities. There is a Tesco's supermarket, superb and picturesque harbour which draws many holiday makers to the area. There is also the award winning Landmark Theatre, Ilfracombe Caves and golf course, all within reach.
Dining out in Ilfracombe is superb with two Michelin Star Restaurants and many other tapa bars, restaurants, pubs and tea rooms. The town is set on the rugged North Devon coast where there are superb views across the Bristol Channel to the Welsh coastline in the distance. The town draws many holiday makers and although Rockland is an ideal family home, it could become an excellent Bed & Breakfast to compliment the Airbnb income. Furthermore, with the benefit of a possible separate dwelling next door the income potential knows no bounds!
With easy access to the superb sandy beach at Woolacombe which has in the past been voted in the Top 10 beaches in the world. For those looking for a smaller more rustic then this can be found at Lee Bay, a most delightful cove with its superb Fuchsia Valley. The South West Coastal Path offers many miles of rugged walking along the coast where one can enjoy nature at its best with seals, dolphins and porpoises that can be seen fairly regularly. Barnstaple town, the regional centre of North Devon, is situated 12 miles to the south and here a wider range of shopping, leisure and social facilities can be found. From here there is access onto the North Devon LInk Road which provides a convenient route to the M5 motorway. The Tarka Train Line connects to Exeter in the South and this takes you to London, Paddington.
